Why would a male colleague wait for me after work?

Why does my male co worker wait for me after work? Recently he would wait on me and we would both leave together and talk for a bit before parting ways to get home?

[ImDusty]

He's 90% into you and wants to spend time with you and talk, or he's just a social person and likes to chat it up

[mike314]

He sounds shy and he is probably trying to figure out how to get more relax with you.

[UniquelyBasic]

He likes you.

[Mel2021]

Thank you! How can you tell?

[UniquelyBasic]

I dont know. Im not there. lol

[Mel2021]

True enough haha 😅 just you said he likes me?

[UniquelyBasic]

Why else wait for you? Maybe he's scared to walk alone. lol

[Mel2021]

Ok true that haha 😅 I don’t think he’s scared as he has done it many’s a Time before

[bowenw]

He's into you.

[Mel2021]

Thank you! How so? :)

[bowenw]

A guy wouldn't normally go out of his way like that if he wasn't interested in the girl. He may be hoping you'll show signs that you're interested in him and then ask you out.

[Mel2021]

Ah ok that makes sense, he has only started doing this recently as I’m pretty new to the job and he never did this at the beginning

[bowenw]

He may just be overly friendly. Time will tell.

[Mel2021]

Yeah you are right, thank you!

[bowenw]

Do you like him?

[Mel2021]

Yeah I think so

[bowenw]

I'm sure he'll sense that and eventually ask you out if he's genuinely into you. You could always invite him to go somewhere together after work if it seems like he's nervous.

[Mel2021]

We are actually going to a work event this week and he did a couple of weeks ago ask me if I wanted to go see a parade during lunch hour which was the first time he ever did that with just me

[bowenw]

It sounds like things are progressing nicely. Maybe next he will invite you out for dinner. Does your employer have rules about employees not dating.

[Mel2021]

Really? Hmm we shall see and no they don’t it would be a case of informing them I guess

[bowenw]

Some employers don't allow employees to date, especially if one is the other's superior. It can also be awkward at work if employees date and then break up.

Probably likes you

I don’t know
