Am I reading too into this?

[Anonymous]

I had a moment with my coworker and I can’t tell if I’m looking too into it. Full disclosure, we are both in relationships. Him 1 1/2 years and me 2 1/2 years.

We were sharing a party together because we’re both servers and everything was chill until he pulled me over to tell me something about what a customer needed. Now I definitely gave him a lot more eye contact than what’s normal (at least 4-5 seconds) to focus on what he was saying. I do this with almost everyone to let them know they have my undivided attention. I’m not sure what happened mid-conversation but I noticed his eyes first diverted to my lips and back up to my eyes where his pupils had now dilated (we were in a well lit area). Suddenly he starts to stumble over his words, forgetting what he was saying while still looking into my eyes what now feels more intimately than originally. I could feel an energy shift in the room. His stumbling of words made me smile and laugh a little making me the first to break eye contact. For me, there was something that happened within that conversation I can’t quite pin and unfortunately, left me thinking about it the rest of the night and now here I am on Reddit.

To note, I’m still human and have eyes, so yes I can see he is an attractive guy but he’s also 2 years younger than I am so there was never any interest even when we were both single. For context, we’ve worked together for 3 years now but we don’t work the same days a lot. We had one moment when I first started there and we shared a party to which one of our coworkers pointed out how beautiful we looked together which neither of us agreed nor disagreed, we just shared a glance and smiled. But for some reason even after the conversation we had when he’d talk to me, I couldn’t help but feel like he was really trying to hold that eye contact with me again, so I kept it short and looked away often because why?

Basically I just need some outside perspective on the situation!

First things first, this is not R****t but GaG which leads me to believe that you asked your question on multiple platforms.

Both of you are in a relationship and you don't want to destroy it just because someone told you that you look good together and because of an extended look into a person's eyes.

Remain professional and never mix business with private life. It is just something that does not work on the long run.

Yes, you are reading way too much into this because there is nothing really extraordinary about the situation you describe. That happens all the time everywhere in the world.

Your age and all the nonsense are not important if all you’re doing is cheating on your current man. Stop creating drama that will end up ruining so many lives.

You both have relationships away from each other. You can’t take a man away from his girlfriend because you find him attractive the same thing as a male he can’t take you away and replace his girlfriend because he likes your looks life doesn’t work that way if not, you’re gonna be in and out of 15 relationships.

Perspective? Why did you even write this post? You claim you would have no interest in this guy even if you are single. But both of you are NOT SINGLE... you need perspective? Ask your boyfriend for some, surely he can help. 🙄
