Search Results: how do i ask about a crush

Sorry, I posted this question earlier but didn’t really put any context in it.

I have a crush on a coworker. We have a flirty relationship and we get on really well. We have been there for each other through difficult times. He has shown mild jealousy at times and is affectionate outside of work when we’ve had a few drinks. He was the one who organised my birthday presents and card (for my 30th)

Recently, on a night out, I admitted to him that I like him more than a friend. I asked him if he felt the same way and he kept saying “you’re a lovely person”. When I asked him to answer the question, he said “yes I do” and sounded annoyed.

He was hot and cold with me at work after that but things have gone back to normal. In fact, when I was on holiday, one of our coworkers asked if he misses me and he said straight away “it’s very quiet”

Today, we were just chatting and it was just the two of us. I said to him “well you clearly hate me a lot” to which he said “yes…. immensely”

I’ve heard guys say the opposite of what they really mean when teasing. Was this him saying that he likes me?

I have a colleague who I have a crush on. We have a flirty relationship which includes things like him staring at me, but when we’re in a group he avoids eye contact and looks at other people more than me. He has been seemingly jealous in the past.

I have been away for a week and today was my first day back. As soon as he saw me he said “it’s about time you came and did some work”. I asked him if he missed me, and without hesitation he said “not at all, it’s been lovely and quiet without you”

I know that this would not be the case because he works closely with another girl who is just as bubbly/giggly if not more so.

I was telling another colleague about what he said, and she said that she asked him last week if he missed me. He just responded with “it’s very quiet”.

Was he disguising the fact that he missed me?
