Is my co worker intrested in or am i just reading too much into this? (dating, boyfriend)

[MissmamaAnnie]

I have had a crush on this co worker for a while now but i am wasn't sure if he likes me in that way untill recently.He would always be friendly and smiles at me when i first worked with him.We would talk about casual staff ,nothing personal whenever i would run ito him in the bulding or parking lot. So i never thought anything out of it.I just thought he was just being friendly.It just wasnt enough for me to think that he likes me back.

I dont work with him everyday but here and there since i am have casual position.I get scedule to work on his floor maybe one a week or once every other week.


However, yesterday i decided to wear make up at work to look nice for him since i knew i was working on his floor.Then sometime during the shift he called my name to get my attention.He asked me if i went out last night.I said no and asked why.He said its because i have an eye liner on so he thought i might have went clubbing or something like that.I just blushed and giggled.I never wore make up at work untill yesterday




Then sometime later during the shift after he finished applying a dressing to one of the residents, he asked me to get a pack of ice for her hands that's swollen in the fridge .There was no plastic in the kitchen so he went in is office to get it so I can put the ice in it. Then he was like ``So you did your make up today, you look good`` I just blushed and said thank you


Instead of letting put the ice in the bag he stayed in the kitchen with me when he didn't have to. I am so shy so I just froze up and got all nervous . I asked him if he ever goes out clubbing and he said he does occasionally to a pub but that's about it. We made a small talk then I confided in him how I am going through some personal issues dealing with mothers death and all. He said that he understands because his mom has been ill as well. I don't why I told him this but it just came out and I felt comfortable confiding in him.

I would prefer not to date co workers though. I have had at least 5 guys from work expressed interest in me but I just told them that I don't date co workers and I have boyfriend. Even when I didn't ,it was a nice way to turn them down. I think it also had to do with the fact that I wasn't really interested in them in the first place.

with this guy its different because I am truly into him so if were to ask me out, I would jump at the chance without any hesitation despite the fact that we work together

Does this mean he likes me as well or am I just reading too much into it? I wasn't sure if he likes me in that way until now. I thought guys don't notice eye liner or make up. Just the fact that he noticed that and cared enough to say something.How should I proceed? talk to him more?

I also noticed that he hardly makes eye contact with me when we talk. Even when he asked me about my make up, he didn't make direct eye contact. He was looking else where. I mean I woudnt compliment a guy on his appearance because he would think I dig him or something like that.


Its just the fact that he noticed my eye liner and told me that I look good made me think he might have been subtly flirting. I can some how sense that he is into me.Its hard to tell really

I would. One way to find out and that's just to jump in there and try.
Its better than playing a guessing game, right? Good Luck!

Just say no to coworkers. You are there to do a job and I hope none of the residents are suffering while you're busy flirting.

I would suggest that you do not get involved with someone at work. You seem to be very inexperienced, and when the inevitable happens, are you going to be capable of going to your job, and continue to work as if nothing happened? I would have to assume that you wouldn't, simply by your post.

I know dating co workers is bad idea but the heart wants what it wants.I cant help it.Life is about taking chances.This guy could turn out to be the love of my life.

I have dated a cowrker 5 years ago at different job.It didn't work out but we stayed friends.It wasn't awkward at all.It just depends

He's flirting a little. That's all I see.

Kinda gross that he thought you didn't shower after clubbing. maybe he was just checking your hygiene habits.

I agree on keeping your focus on the patients while at work.

First you need to think really hard about pursuing a coworker. Once you do it there's no going back! Being the topic of conversation in the office happens very fast and you won't know it's happening until you can no longer correct the information going around. That said, simply ask in passing how his mom is doing and how is he handling the stress of it all. He will know that's outside of the zone your normally in with him then give him a green light sentence like "If you ever want to talk..." Leave the ball in his court and any interested guy will take it from there. Hopefully he's not one of those ask my work friend what to do types, and you can keep the whole process relatively quite. Side bar..don't start wearing makeup and crap for a guy if that's not who you are. A woman that doesn't wear makeup is like seeing a fire rainbow! Honestly be your self, see if he actually likes you or you'll find yourself doing a whole lot of things out of your nature "for him". I suggest that you don't talk to any coworkers about it, So if/when you hear anything factual about your relationship you'll have no doubts where it came from.

You CAN help it.

Don't date coworkers.

Focus on doing your job.
That's what you are being paid for.

Thank you everyone for your answers .Just to clarify, I do wear make up when I go out with friends and on dates just not at work .I like wearing make up but I don't normally put too much effort into my appearance when going yo work
