What does it mean if my older male coworker smiles huge when he sees me walk in the room and he looks at me?

[Analorr]

He really gets a kick out of my presence. What’s he thinking.

sometimes I feel like he’s laughing at me inside. And no I’m not being funny or anything.

So as guy, when there's a girl that you know you can't get with, or like you know you have no chance with... guy usually act one of two ways;

1. They ignore you. Like they treat you like your just another women and there's is not anything special about you.

2. They embrace the situation and have fun with it. Why because if they can't fuck you why not have fun. Because they are not ashamed to addmit that you brighten up their day and that's good, even if there will be no dates or sex. Have fun be nice... hell over time she might come to appreciate it.

He like you.

[Truthatanycost]

He probably finds you really attractive. You said ' It sucks he won’t just make a move.' But I'm the same. I've had women approach after noticing me checking them out. But they don't realize that I just find my pure freedom much more attractive than them.

[Sunnybeach123]

Does he stare at your body? If so then I guess he's attracted to you. But if so, he should not stare because it's intrusive and kind of crosses boundaries.

[Analorr]

Not blatantly. I have caught him sneaking a peak down my tip quickly but nothing more than that.

[Sunnybeach123]

But that's really not cool on his part and he was totally staring at your body then. I'm sorry. That's really intrusive.

[Analorr]

No that was a long time ago. He doesn’t usually do any staring that I’m aware of lol. I’m just wondering why he’s always smiling so big when I walk in the room and looking at me (my face)

[Sunnybeach123]

Well maybe he's just being kind/polite? How well do you know each other? It might be a crush.

[Analorr]

I have a crush on him though. I don’t think he knows my name. He’s just a coworker I see here and there. I wish he’d just ask me out!

[Analorr]

But I know most guys are shy or taken.

[Sunnybeach123]

It's hard (for me too, as a guy) to make the first move. But maybe ask him if he'd like to grab a bite/coffee? Like any way you could have a chance to strike up a conversation/talk? If he's older than you he might be nervous about taking the first step.

[Analorr]

Eh it’s ok. I just wish he would but I can’t force him to. I’m sure he knows what he really wants.

[Sunnybeach123]

He might really want you but he's worried about the age gap or something.

[Analorr]

I’ve liked him since I first saw him. It sucks he won’t just make a move. Other guys have but I didn’t really like them that much.

[Sunnybeach123]

If he likes you he'll take the opportunity to talk to you. Maybe just ask him how's it going?

[Analorr]

I’m a bad talker - an awkward and shy depressed loser. But yeah. :s
Maybe I could say How are you, next time he stops by me. And see if he says anything deep and we can have a more substantial convo. :s

Thanks man

[Sunnybeach123]

Anytime. But you're fine, not a loser at all. It's okay to be shy. You have deep feelings and that's cool. We don't always know the exact right thing to say. I've said awkward things to girls I've liked so I know the feeling

[Analorr]

Thank you. How did it work out with the girls?

[Sunnybeach123]

Not how I'd have liked. I tried to get a conversation going but it never got deep. If course I had a crush on them and I was hoping to take things further. Lol, when I have a crush I get awkward.

[Analorr]

That’s cute. I think it’s great to even try to talk to someone. Even if it’s just random things. :3

[Sunnybeach123]

Thanks. Lol sometimes I feel like my IQ goes down when I like a girl. Sometimes I think girls expect a lot of confidence from a guy when he hits on them and it's like being in a spotlight. I try to find her interests but don't know how to start sometimes.

[Analorr]

Oh no don’t even worry about the confidence thing. I actually noticed a guy at work who seems nervous with me. It’s so cute and I’m very curious about him because of it. If he was acting confident I wouldn’t give a toss. Vulnerability is attractive sometimes. It’s relatable.

True it’s hard to find out someone’s interests when you know nothing about them. I’d say start with like basic things like girls probably all like fashion or pretty things like flowers or makeup. Maybe cooking, cause everyone can relate to food. Or pets. Or animals. Everyone loves cute animals and funny animal videos.

[Sunnybeach123]

Thanks! And I agree, being vulnerable is exciting because it means you've opened yourself, emotionally, to the person you like. Always the risk of being hurt but also the chance for a deep connection.

[Willlovewinintheend]

Professionalism and customer service skills. You can't walk around the office not smiling and ignoring all your co-workers.

[Analorr]

He’s staring at me and he makes sayings as well. You are just not getting it.

[spartan55]

It means he smiled and looked at you.

[Danny_dan92]

He wants to pipe

[Analorr]

Why isn’t he asking me out and piping me then

[Danny_dan92]

No clue
