I think I have a crush on this guy at work but not too sure if he likes me?

I’ve been working with this guy for a couple months now right along with this other guy (there’s 3 people including me on our shift). He’s really cool and funny and we joke around about other people at work but I see him joke around with pretty much everyone. I remember during our break we were going out to our cars and he asked me if I wanted to go get Starbucks with him and I went with him. We went through the drive through and he offered to pay for both of our coffees. I also noticed that when another coworker talks crap about me or disrespects me, he defends me sometimes, which I don’t know how I feel about that. I appreciate him doing it but I feel like I can stand my own ground. But anyway, maybe I’m overthinking but what do y’all think?

Hmm sounds like maybe that dude is kinda into you? Asking you to get Starbucks just the two of you and offering to pay is usually a little flirty, even if it's not a big thing. And wanting to defend you shows he's got your back at work.

Boys don't always show interest the same way as girls though, so it's hard to say for sure if he likes you likes you or just as a friend. I'd pay attention to see if he finds excuses to talk to you more one on one or makes little jokes just with you, ya know?

Maybe you could try flirting back a little subtle and see how he reacts. Like laugh extra at his jokes or compliment his outfit. Guys can be dense sometimes so you gotta be a little obvious!

Or you could ask a friend of his if he's single and what he thinks. Subtle recon mission haha.

If nothing else, just keep being cool with him and see what happens. Work crushes can be risky but might be worth a shot! Just play it cool for now.

Ask him out? Worst thing that can happen is he turns you down. At least you would know. Better do it before someone else takes him!

I don’t know if I should ask a guy out though

[ReverseCowboy]

Just ask something casual like "Let's go for a beer!" You can add "dude" in the end even to make it even more casual

He bought you Starbucks? Better plan that wedding.

Didn’t ask for sarcasm. Wrong post for that.
