Does it seem like he likes me?

[Anonymous]

I have been working with a guy for a few months. When we first met via an online work team training he was pretty flirty. Unfortunately I didn’t get to me him in person until last week. Before that I was in the office a different day to him. I let him know I was going in two weeks before I was due to go in. Throughout the working day he walked past me a few times and I noticed he was starring at me. But I acted as though I didn’t him. But one time he made sure I notice him, he walked another way and we just locked eyes and kind of zoned out. I was too nervous to say hi. Anyhow about 15 mins later he went over and spoke to some other people who were sitting near me and who trained with us and asked how they were going with the work. ( he has already been in the office with them since December) so I’m pretty sure he would of already had that conversation. When he was leaving I managed to stop him a say hi and he had a smile on his face and said nice to finally meet me. Do you think he started up that conversation with those other people just so I’d go over and say hi? Also why would a guy just stare at me numerous times and then ensure I notice him. Am I thinking too much or does it sound like he likes Me? Yes I know you shouldn’t go there with colleagues but i really like this guy and will take it slow.

First of all, don't listen to all these scaredy cats telling you to stay away from coworkers. Most of them have probably never even date da coworker, but I've been with plenty and it's never caused a single issue. Plus my parents met at work, so I wouldn't be here if it weren't for office romance.

Anyway, I think you already know if he's taken an interest in you. You can sense when someone has taken a shining to you. We all can.
There are signs, but it's the feeling you get that matters the most in reality. Human beings are in touch with each other like that. It's crazy

That doesn't mean he's available neccesarily, but he can still admire.

So I'll ask you... do you think he likes you?

I think he does but he is unsure whether I like him as I haven’t made him aware verbally. Plus we were working together but online and literally only met in person last week but like I said we locked eyes and it was as though no one else was there. I really think by going over and talking to the other colleagues he was trying to get me to go over and say hi.

He also made it aware he was single

I think you're 100% right.
Just make him aware of the same things and I'll bet he'll ask you out

Office romances are really fun and naughty. You'll enjoy it, seriously

Based on the behavior you mentioned, it is possible that this guy may be interested in you. Staring at someone multiple times and then ensuring you notice him can be a sign of attraction or interest. However, it is also possible that he was just being friendly or polite. As for why he started up a conversation with other people, it could be that he was trying to create an opportunity for you to say hi, or it could be that he was just checking in with his colleagues. Ultimately, the only way to know for sure if he likes you is to have a conversation with him about your feelings and ask him about his. However, it is important to approach this situation with caution since you work together. Make sure to take it slow and consider the potential consequences before pursuing anything further.

@jasondaman take it slow as in getting to know him or take it slow flirting and possibly asking him out?

When I said "take it slow," I meant taking the time to get to know him better before making any decisions about whether to pursue a potential romantic relationship. This could include getting to know him better as a colleague and a friend, spending time together outside of work in a group setting, and observing his behavior and communication style over time.

It is important to be cautious about flirting or asking him out too quickly, especially in a work setting. It is important to consider any workplace policies or guidelines regarding relationships between colleagues, and to make sure that any romantic interest is mutual and consensual.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a romantic relationship with a colleague is a personal one that should be made carefully and with consideration for all factors involved.
