Male friends teases me constantly

[jadelola]

We are both in our 30s and met at work less than a year ago. Right from the start he started teasing me esp. about my height-thinks I am short. I can't have a normal conversation with him without him teasing me about something. He doesn't tease anybody else. Because of him some of the other male colleagues tease me but only when he is around. I no longer work with him but work near him. I must say that although he teases me constantly I trust him completely. He always had my back and always stood up for me. I heard of an incidence at my old place that happened involving me and this girl told me she couldn't believe how he stood up for me and got really angry.

Since, I now don't have a car he will drive out of his way-about 10 minutes to take me to work and back. If he goes out for lunch he will phone and ask me also. But obviously, seeing him also involves been constantly teased...but he makes me laugh all the time.

We aren't in school so why does he constantly tease me but not hurtful. He does sometimes say that he feels sorry for me Because of all the teasing I endure from him but he continues.

my boyfriend is the same way he is always teasing me but not really in a mean way but it does get annoying . that's just the way he flirts with me and that's what it sounds like this guy is doing to you he is doing it in a flirty way best thing to do if he teases you tease him back . if the teasing gets to you he is going to do it even more LOL .. he likes you ! if it is hurting your feelings and your not really a joke around kind of girl then tell him you like him but wish he wouldn't tease you at work at least . I worked with a guy how joked around with me all the time and at first it got on my nerves then when I started making fun of him back it made the day go by faster and I looked forward to working with him just because he was funny .

He continues because he knows I don't get hurt by what he says. If he knows that I don't like something than obviously he will find a way to tease me about that too. Boy thinking of it he spends a lot of energy teasing me. I can never hold a serious conversation with him or someone else when he is around . But on the other hand he always looks out for me. I wish I was good at teasing him back but I can never think of any good comebacks. I miss working with him. He is very funny :)

i think he likes you a lot, but doesn't understand that girls don't like being teased all the time. I think it's his way of flirting. strange for you probably, but if he's had your back and teases you, then he likes you. if you like him, just tease him back with a cute smile.

It doesn't bother me that he teases me because it makes me laugh. I also know that he doesn't tease anybody else.

if he's not teasing anybody else, he's definitely into you

Work relationships can be very tricky. What do you do for work? Sorry for not answering but with more info I think I could help you easier.

We are both software developers. He actually is the one that interviewed me for the job and recommended me. He wasn't in charge of me though.
