Does my coworker like me?

[Anonymous]

I am a female and I’ve been working with my coworker for about two months, and I’ve noticed that he treats me differently from everyone else. I’m trying to figure out if this is just a strong work connection or if there’s something more going on. Here are the things he’s done that make me question it:

• He goes out of his way to stay in contact
• He trusts me more than anyone else
• when we sit side by side he holds intense eye contact
• always offers to help
• treats me differently than other coworkers, almost like I am special to him
• Not good at texting back
• checks in on me to see if I am ok
• He does’t like me working with other coworkers, even said I thought you were mine
• He sometimes teases me in a flirty way

Dudes got it bad. He's not just into you he seems really interested in you. No guy does stuff like that or behaves that way unless they like them a lot. These aren't subtle hints, especially from a man's perspective. He's basically trying to get a response out of you at this point because if you don't understand this it means he's probably misinterpreted your confusion as mixed signals and can't figure out if you like him or not so he's dropping bigger and bigger hints. This is a minor communication issue but very easily fixed. Just ask him out if you like him and I encourage you to.

That said if you can't do it, then flirt back and be very obvious. Trust me whenever a woman says I'm obviously flirting with him I'm not even kidding when I say they're still not coming on hard enough. I've literally seen guys on here asking if a girl liked them after they frenched him FFS. So, yea, if you're interested make it clear if you can't be direct. Like really, really clear he's probably going to have more trouble picking up on flirting because of being confused. He's probably doing a lot of second guessing because he's confused by your confusion. XD
