We text a lot outside of work and sometimes during about basically anything, not usually to do with work. We have similar media interests and just get along easily. He sends me silly stuff that makes him think of me when we’re not at work. When I say we text a lot - I mean A LOT. I am his most contacted person on a few platforms. We are definitely playful at work - making fun of each other and teasing each other, we talk heaps at work (corporate - legal area) and he helps me whenever he can. He practically jumps out of his seat to come and help if I need something. He compliments me a lot but usually not in a pointed “you look pretty” way, more of a “you make my days better” way, and he really means it. I joke about wanting a kid sometimes and he has made dirty jokes about us having a kid in response. I often find when I talk to others on the floor near him he’s staring at me while I do so, and when we talk he makes super strong eye contact. Sometimes he blushes when we joke around. But I’ve found his eye contact super intense and it causes a bit of tension. I have never seen him crack similar dirty jokes with other women in the department, nor maintain the same eye contact! I, unfortunately, have caught feelings for him at least sexually. I don’t know if he feels the same way... if you were a late 30’s to early 40’s man, texting his early 20’s female coworker at all hours about anything - making jokes about being too close to each other etc - would this mean anything? Also - he’s married with kids ! I can’t imagine being his wife in this situation, it would feel wrong - which makes me think he is into me? Please don’t comment about how he may be taking advantage of me. I am aware this is completely possible and it’s not really answering the question!
Is my male coworker into me?
