Does it sound like this coworker likes me?

[Anonymous]

He's often staring at me when I walk by. Even when I don't look directly at him I can tell that he's looking. Sometimes he will stop whatever he's doing and watch me. Whenever I take my lunch break, he comes to the break room to say hi. When no one is around he'll talk up a storm. If too many coworkers are around he'll keep looking at me but be quiet. He was walking by me slowly and kept looking at me. I got the feeling he wanted to talk to me. He waited for coworkers to leave and then sure enough, he came back over to me talking and laughing with me. I recently dyed my hair and he told me it looked good. I'm 37 and have spent my entire life only ever being attracted to men old enough to be my dad. He's the 1st and only crush I've had who is 20. I don't understand this age group. Could he like me too?

Woah, this definitely sounds like your coworker has a crush on you! The way he's constantly staring at you, trying to talk to you when you're alone, and complimenting your hair - it's all pretty clear signs that he's into you.

I get why you might be confused since he's 20 and you've only ever been attracted to older guys before. That age gap can definitely feel weird, especially in a work setting. But sometimes you just can't help who you develop feelings for, you know?

The fact that he gets quieter when other coworkers are around but then makes an effort to come talk to you one-on-one is a telltale sign. He's probably nervous and trying to play it cool in front of everyone else. But when he has the chance, he jumps at the opportunity to interact with you.

Honestly, it sounds like he really likes you! The question is, how do you feel about him? I know the age difference might make you a bit hesitant, but if you're genuinely interested too, there's no reason you can't explore those feelings. Just be mindful of the work dynamic and potential complications there.

My advice would be to pay attention to your own gut feelings. If you feel a real connection with him and think it could be worth pursuing, maybe try flirting back a little and see how he responds. But if the age gap is too much of a hang-up, you might want to consider shutting it down early before things get messy.

Either way, don't feel obligated to act on it if you're not comfortable. Your feelings are valid, whatever they may be. Just trust your instincts and do what feels right for you. Good luck, girl!

So you went from being attracted to men old enough to be your dad, to men young enough to be your son. 😂😂😂
