I have a cute coworker who I get along with really well. We get along so well that people like to joke or imply that we should get together. We also have the same last name so it only adds to the joke. She's a nice girl and was a relationship until recently. They are currently on a break. I can't read if she's interested or attracted to me on some level. She mentions her boyfriend a lot to me which is generally a sign that she's not interested.


I feel like she's pretty comfortable with me. One thing I noticed is that she would ask other people to join us on lunch when she was in a relationship. Now that she's no longer in one, she's more comfortable going to lunch with me one on one. We've also made plans to go hiking and even had dinner after work once. We've also hung out outside of work with other people so I guess you could say we are friends.


However, recently she's been playfully giving me a hard time. She calls me "grandpa" because she says I act older than my age. She's also comfortable calling me out on the dumb things that I do. I've noticed that she doesn't do this with other male coworkers or mutual friends. She also calls me "mister" a lot as in "you better mister", etc. She also touches me more than with other coworkers. Is this a sign of flirting? Or does she see me as a friend?

It sounds like she's trying to flirt, but be careful about that "break."

If you have to ask random strangers on a public forum the answer is no and it is generally best to keep work and
romance completely separate.

More than likely it's an attention thing.

Most of the time when people on a "break" they're screwing around on the low. She's still attached.

But the only person who knows is her

We don't even know where this guy works.

He might work at frickin Taco Bell or a grocery store.

People on here worry way too much about dating co-workers. I understand if it's a ''Professional'' job or something.

Not not take first move. Leave yourself a way out.

OK. Let me rephrase. Do not date. Your. Worker. If you value keeping a job/your reputation that pays your bills.

Yeah, its just as bad an idea if you're at a ice cream shop, or restaurant, or whatever, honestly. I worked more than my share of professional services and hospitality gigs when younger and it's just not a good idea.


Happens a ton in the restaurant industry due to the hours everyone keeps, and the young ages. Someone always needs to go.

Meh. This is way overblown on here. Even at a fast food/restaurant/store? Come on. Some of your relatives (parents, grandparents) may have even met working at a place like that.
