Does it mean a guy likes me if he keeps bumping into my private areas?

[Flower7]

This is a coworker and the most recent time we worked beside each other, he bumped into one of my breasts with his elbow.

The time before that, he bumped my butt with his hand while we were standing up working next to each other.

He apologized both times but this seems like a really big coincidence to me.

Do you think he's doing this on purpose? And if it's not on purpose, could this be a subconscious thing that a guy would do to a girl he's interested in?

[Tstrbrainer]

Probably he fancies you.
But I thought bumping into private areas was not decent.


I don't know, maybe it's okay if you also like him back

[Flower7]

I do like him back. But I don't think he knows that.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Flower7 You should probably tell him.

[Flower7]

@Jamie05rhs Well we work together, so I feel like that wouldn't be a good idea.

[Jamie05rhs]

Okay. Then don't. It's your call. :)

[Reaperbot666]

most likely finds you attractive. but to what degree I am unsure. could just be sexual or could be something deeper.

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

If it happened only once and he apologized sincerely, it could be an accident. Well, I'm so sorry I have to say he doesn't seem to respect you. I know my case can't compare to yours, but I have a man in the volunteer group who acted similar to that man. I'd observed other behaviors of him, and he didn't seem to be friendly to me as other people who interacted with me normally, talking like friends

Of course, he's interested. But it's not in a good way. You're probably sexualized.. If the workplace allows relationships, it's not difficult to just ask someone out for a date. But this man Keeps invading your personal space constantly, I don't think he has a good will.

I regret that I wasn't clear and talked to the guy mentioned above personally before filing a sexual harassment report. Because I had kept these inappropriate manners of men in silence, the man noticed I didn't speak up, and he continued doing it. (The worst thing he's done is humping a Mascot I just wore in front of 30 people without shame. It disgusted me.) And other men would think it's okay to do the same to you if you don't confront the issue and say NO.

You're braver than me. If you don't like it, stop it before it's too late. Peace.

[Flower7]

It didn't happen only once. It was twice in a row. It has been the last two times that we worked together.

[90sVibe]

It could be that is was an honest mistake is he's a person who doesn't pay attention well, is super hyper, or is a total klutz all the time. If he doesn't have a habbit ofthose traits with others then he is most likely doing it on purpose and is being a workplace perv. I'd either confront him on it to make a conscious effort to NEVER do something like that again, or talk to hr about this. If you two aren't in a flirting match or something with where you want this and have been very clear about your desire than it can be considered sexual harassment if it continues. P. S. it also depend on your workplace and wht you do because most jobs don't require you to be THAT close to a coworker. But I work in healthcare and sometimes bodies go past our personal bubbles when necessary.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

On the job some of us work in fast paced environments & from time to time we all bump into each other by accident. On the other hand maybe this joker was feeling you up or maybe something more, who knows. I’m glad to hear he apologized if not I would hire a bunch of midgets to kick his @$$.

[Flower7]

It's not just that he bumped into me. It's just weird that he seemed to have perfect aim for certain areas while doing so. I don't recall him ever bumping into me in a normal body part. Always a sexual area.

[iceland1]

If it happens once again then it is not a coincidence.

[Flower7]

That's very true.

[Tamera952]

Yea that or he's just a regular perv... or a pickpocket.

[Flower7]

Lol... pickpockets do tend to bump into people a lot!

[Red_Arrow]

He likes touching you, but if he liked you personally he would be more respectful.

[Flower7]

So you think he's bumping into me on purpose?

[Red_Arrow]

Yes, I do.

[Animal7890]

He sounds like a perv. If he respectfully wants to get to know you why is he trying to cop an early feel by pretending he’s bumping into you?

Clearly you want more from him so go with it but me personally I’d sue him for sexual harassment.

[AlwaysBelieving]

He's attracted to you either consciously or unconsciously. To what extent / reason, I can't tell. Do you talk to him?

[Flower7]

I have a conversation with him every time I see him, but have never talked to him about attraction.

I actually have a pretty big crush on this guy but as far as i know, he's not aware of that.

[es20490446e]

Most important question is:

Would you like it if it wasn't a coincidence?

[Flower7]

Yes because this guy is actually someone that I have a crush on. So i was hoping this meant that he feels the same.

[es20490446e]

So what's the simplest way to figure that out?

[Flower7]

Ask but because we work together, that's a bit risky. I wouldn't want to have to work with someone after being rejected by them.

[es20490446e]

What I do if I like someone is to ask them to come to do some activity I was already doing with me and with other people.

Then both of us can figure out if we like each other that way without having to risk being flat rejected.

[Flower7]

That's a good idea, to make it a more casual situation instead of expressing feelings directly.

[Jjpayne]

It sounds like it's awkward for sure...
I'd maybe consider asking him to a causal work lunch just to talk. See how he responds

[RemoErdosain]

He's either very clumsy, or a perv. That's not a sign a guy is interested in you in a good way, no. We would never do that to someone we were genuinely interested in

[Flower7]

What other way is there to be interested in someone other than in a good way?

[RemoErdosain]

If you're just a perv that wants to get laid with anyone that crosses your path, I guess that could be seen as interest by some too

[geonator]

No way it's a coincidence. Have you made it obvious you're into him?

[Flower7]

I don't think I've made it very obvious. I'm not very good at expressing my feelings.

[geonator]

No way someone would bump your butt on accident, but it's very strange that someone would risk such a move in the workplace. If I was into a girl in the workplace I would take far less risky means than that of seeing where it goes. But that's just me, who knows what's going on in this guy's mind

[bklynbadboy1]

Is the place wear you work small where you have to work in close proximity to each other

[Flower7]

Yes, it is small. But still, he seems to have pretty good aim to always land on a sexual area.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

He's doing it on purpose my opinion is to let him know if by chance it hurts you and he could like you but not if it hurts you?

[slatyb]

It’s not subconscious. it could be accidental or deliberate. I’m thinking accidental since it was his elbow.

[Flower7]

It was his hand that he bumped into my butt with.

[MysteriousChick93]

He just wants a hook up as he shows no respect girl do better

[gandolph3]

most likely not an accident, do you like or dislike when it happens

[Flower7]

I like it because I have a crush on him.

[gandolph3]

Then make sure it happens more often, and accidently brush his cock every once in a while. You are ornery aren't you

[Flower7]

I'm just kinda looking for signs that he's interested in me.

[gandolph3]

Invite him to have a coffee or something with you after work

[Jamie05rhs]

Whether he likes you or not is irrelevant. He shouldn't be touching you without permission. That's sexual assault.

[pizzalovershouse]

No a guy who likes you wouldn't do that he would respect you an sounds like he doing this to get a free group to use as his sexy fantasy

[SuccessfulHornDog]

He might be interested. We is close enough to bump into you. That is a good sign as well
