I started a new job and I actually really do enjoy working there. I like the people I work with and everyone is so nice/friendly.
Lots of nice looking guys… I do work with two younger coworkers. About 19… I joke with them a lot. I mentioned playfully that I thought a guy there was “cute”
Bad idea. They started being immature as hell and started making things awkward when he walked by and even asked if he’s single.
He’s always been quiet and keeps to himself but it def seems like he avoids me and it’s so uncomfortable even at my age…
what makes it worse is that he is younger. (19) but he looks older and acts mature so I didn’t know.
His mom is really nice and his work friend has been friendlier than before. But I think he’s prob not attracted to me and I’m a bit older

It's difficult to say for certain why someone might be acting a certain way, as everyone's motivations and feelings can vary. However, based on the information you've provided, it's possible that the situation has become uncomfortable for the guy you find attractive due to the playful comments and the immaturity displayed by your younger coworkers. He might be avoiding you because he feels awkward or unsure about how to respond to the situation.
Keep in mind that age and attraction are subjective, and it's possible that the age difference is playing a role in his behavior. However, it's also important to consider other factors that could contribute to his actions. He might naturally be a reserved and quiet person, or he might simply be focused on his work and not interested in pursuing romantic relationships in the workplace.
If you're genuinely interested in getting to know him better or addressing the awkwardness, it may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with him. Approach the situation with sensitivity, and let him know that you appreciate working with him and value his professionalism. This can help create a more comfortable and professional environment moving forward.
Remember, it's crucial to respect his boundaries and personal space. If he continues to avoid you or shows disinterest, it's important to accept his response and maintain a professional relationship at work.
Yeah, he’s probably not attracted to me he very charming and mature for his age. It’s okay. I’m a bit older anyway.
But yes, it should remain professional
