My male friend and colleague started calling me recently “pretty” like (hey pretty, good morning pretty, anytime pretty girl) what does that mean?

It means he is being inappropriate at work. I could be a couple of things. It could be his personality to give "pet" names or flatter. It could also be him hitting on you. Either way, I would ask him to stop if it were me.

So many companies have policies against workplace relationships and there are very good reasons for it. I am just going to assume that you are not interested in dating this guy since you call him a friend.

While there is no problem having workplace friends, make no mistake, you are both there to do a job. If he continues to act inappropriate like that, you may have to take it to a supervisor. The last thing you want are other coworkers noticing this and taking matters into their own hands.

They might assume there is something going on even if there is not because of what they see. If that violates a policy at the place you work, you could get in trouble too even if there is no intent by you. Best to put a stop to it now versus let it go further or perhaps it goes too far with the advances.

Thanks for your advice, you may got it wrong he’s my friend first of all and I like him as more than a friend and I’m just surprised like did he feel that and he’s trying to take it slow or not? That’s why I’m kinda confused

No problem. Just make sure you are allowed to have a relationship with a coworker first. While many companies don't allow that, others don't have an issue.

Sounds to me like he is testing the waters and flirting to see your reaction. Not uncommon way of measuring someone's interest. That is what it sounds like to me.

You must be looking “pretty” hot. And reacted twist the body, smiling, and “pretty” sexual when “pretty” was uttered. I know being suddenly and repeatedly characterized “pretty” can be starting and “pretty” confusing.

Wish I could see you in person as to judge “Prettiness”. I also think he’s having a “pretty” good time to. If it move to Delicious then 🤔

He find you pretty enough to call you pretty and nobody else (or does he call others this way as well?)

[Asker]

I’m the only one he calls pretty

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

So this shouldn't be even a question then.

@asker
You don't know that.

There is no such thing as "male friends" or "female friends". I guarantee you

Compliments. My opinion is that Compliments doesn't mean they necessarily love you. It's just that they think you're pretty and tell you that
