Search Results: catching a girl''s eye

Hello all 😊

I know this question probably seems odd, but I don’t have a lot of experience with men and I’m quite crap at reading signals. I also have no confidence because my first crush humiliated me. I’ve been seeing this guy at work and he caught my eye. He doesn’t work in my department. The interactions started with him smiling at me with prolonged eye contact (I have never really seen him talking to girls outside of his department except for one who works in the canteen)

It was always him who smiled first and it was me who looked away first

I eventually said hi to him and we have little conversations now and then

After I first said hi to him, he went though a phase of ignoring me and looking away from me when we were in the same area

When we talk, he stands quite close to me and his pupils are very dilated

When we are talking, his eyes are fixated on mine and he will glance at my lips quickly before going back to my eyes

He seems somewhat fidgety when we talk
Yesterday, he smiled and we said hi, and then when I started chatting to him properly, he smiled even more

I was walking to the canteen and my (prettier) friend was walking in front. He was walking towards us but he was fixated on me and didn’t even look at her

My friends say they have seen the way he looks at me, and to quote, “they would be upset if their boyfriend looked at another girl the same way”
I’ve noticed that when we are in the same vicinity, he will tidy his hair and check it in his phone camera

Sometimes we won’t have any interaction, just a few glances and that’s it

It’s just baby steps at the moment, but do you think he may find me attractive?

I was out with a group of friends, during the night my friend met up with her cousin and her friends, there was a guy in the group who was drop down my dream guy during the night I saw him looking over at our table and making eye contact with me and smiling. I presumed he was just being friendly.

Later in the night as we were all leaving his friend (who is also a girl) shouted across to say I was gorgeous, and she loved my hair, he was standing with her smiling and held eye contact. It could have been me but I felt he was interested, but I'm not sure if he is just a sweet and friendly guy. As we were leaving he hung back and walked across with me smiling while my friends joked about me being gorgeous (he was laughing and smiling the entire time). We didn't say much together when we walked alongside each other. I walked in behind him and he held the door for me, a guy came into my face to chat me up and he was holding the door for me smiling again and waited until I went in and brushed off the other guy and ran inside. As we went into the bar he stayed standing near me by the wall while his friends went to the bar, again another guy came up and he smiled again.

Throughout the night I would keep catching his eye but he never once tried to make a move or talk to me. My friends thought his friend was trying to give him a pep talk but he never did come up to me. What do ye think?
