Search Results: getting caught staring

He works in the same office as I do, and he sits directly across from me. I wanted him from the moment I saw him and now that I know him better I want him even more. He's very quiet and introverted, but I started saying hi to him all the time (when we happened to pass in the hallway). I would also stare at him on occasion and i made sure he saw me doing it.

Eventually he was staring back. A few times I would look up and he would stare at me and not look away. One time he came up to my desk to ask me something work related and somehow our eyes locked and we just stared into each others eyes for like 10 seconds, not saying anything.

When we've talked, it's been small talk but there's a really nervous and awkward energy to it. Not sure if it's sexual tension, since I don't know if he likes me but It almost makes me want to avoid him because it's so tense... we'll be talking and I'll get nervous and lose my breath. And then another time he seemed nervous and he would just start talking about random things. He's asked me where I live, around Christmas time he asked what I did and I told him I'm from here so I just had a get together at home and then he said "oh yeah, where's that?" And when we were talking about our weekends I told him I went to this Greek restaurant and he asked me if Greek was my favorite kind of food. I make small talk with people all day (I have a very social job) but I noticed people don't really care about the details like that, you know?


Then sometimes I'll try to catch his eye and he seems kind of annoyed? he'll blink and look away while kind of rolling his eyes. And another time i got in the elevator when he was in there, and he just said hi and kept looking at his phone.

Also one time we were both getting coffee and we were talking and then he just walked away without saying anything.

But he's otherwise nice to me and comes up to my desk a couple times a week just to say hi. And he gives me this little smile.

Do you think he likes me?
