Was he saying that I’m beautiful?

[Anonymous]

I have a flirty relationship with a guy at work.

I was stressing about an upcoming event and I was having my hair and makeup done.

I was talking to him about it, and I said “I’m having my makeup and hair done for this event. I want to look beautiful”

He then said “why don’t you do it yourself then?” And we had some extended eye contact.

Was he subtly telling me that he finds me beautiful?

Yes

No

Need more context on the guy. If that's all he said, and he's normally outgoing and not awkward, then I'd say no. If he's usually shy, struggles to flirt, or hasn't been in a lot of relationships, I'd say yes.

Just from the context given I'd say "No, that's him asking why you're wasting money on something he's seen you do yourself before." Not understanding or seeing the difference or how it feels to be pampered like that.

If the guy isn't good at flirting that could have been him looking for some way to compliment you in a non-direct way because he's nervous about how you would respond to his approach. If so, then his comment wasn't so much "You're so [naturally] beautiful" but rather "You do such a good job of making yourself beautiful, why let anyone else do that?"

Just because he's "flirty" at work doesn't mean he's comfortable or confident in his ability to actually up the stakes with a confession about how you look.

I don't think so, he just thought its a waste of money when you can do just as good of a job yourself.
