Does my 40 year old coworker attracted to me or am I delusional?

[Anonymous]

I’ve noticed some subtle interactions with a guy at work, and I’m not sure if he’s just being friendly or if there’s attraction involved. Over the past few months, here’s what’s happened:
• 7 months ago: He touched the tip of my finger while I was standing, which felt intimate.
• 4 months ago: He patted my shoulder while we were talking.
• He also grabbed my bicep once, slid his hand down my arm quickly, and put his arm around my shoulder, drawing me closer to him.
• Today: He clasped my hands twice after thanking me for something.


There is electricity when he touches me. Does he feel
It too? He also compliments me , my hair, my shoes, my dress, and looks me up and down.

I don’t want to overthink this, but I’ve been trying to read his behavior. Does this sound like he’s attracted to me, or is he just being friendly? How can I interpret these subtle actions?

by the way he's married and has 2 kids.

Yes, those are the typical signs of a man in his mid-life crisis that needs to prove to himself that he has still what it takes to try to grab a younger girl. He needs to feel that he can get into the pants of a younger woman.

Being married with 2 children would be the main reason why he has to see whether he can still attract a woman.

You seem to be the ideal victim because it looks as if you can easily be manipulated. The fact that you don't tell him to keep his hands where they should be is an indicator that you are willing to let him jeopardize his marriage.

The fact that you state that you could be delusional leads me to believe that you could potentially be a home wrecker if you let it go where it should never go.

Finally, him touching you could be considered as sexual harassment.

Im leaving work in 3 months im never gonna do anything. Never seeing him again. Plus im a virgin. I could never do these things. I stay proffesional were both teachers. He touches me infront of the studnets around.

“He touched the tip of my finger while I was standing” Like E. T?

He clasped your hand TWICE? Girl, he has the hots for you, for sure.

[Asker]

Hahaha i meant like i was standing over him he was sitting and he looked down at my and and brushed my finger tips. You are funny 😂

[Abbycado]

Thank you for the compliment on my comedy. Some don’t get it. Also, my apologies for such a late reply.

Best leave this be. Not good dating coworkers. Not even old enough to experience it but hear this advice often. Take care!

Forget this whole situation with this guy. First of all, he is MARRIED, so it really isn't relevant if he is attracted to you. Second, he is too old for you. Third, it's at work (BIG NO NO). And finally, he is MARRIED.

[PaleDale]

It's not enough to go on as to whether he likes you.

Actually can't guess by limited information

[Asker]

What more information do you need? Is it normal for a man to touch me liek this?

[wkhan_87]

On the base of your post i think he is attracted to you, but not sure 100 percent

[wkhan_87]

Because some guys just friendly

[In_Trance]

You're delusional

[Asker]

What makes you say taht?

[In_Trance]

Because that was the choice that you offered
