Why does he keep asking me questions?

Question

This guy I work with has asked me 3 questions about work. Each time I haven't known the answer. I thought he had stopped but again he asked me a question. It wasn't something he had to know at that moment. He could've waited to ask my boss the next day. Is he trying to humiliate me? Or just trying to buy time. There's a girl He's always looking at. But she wasn't even around. But maybe he thought if he wasted a few minutes, she appear, or walk by or something. That's the only thing I can think of. Would you keep asking someone if they were kind of shy and didn't know. He doesn't seem like a mean person at all. Please give me some advice on what you think.

Answer 1

Women expect serendipity - a natural, unplanned sequence
of events that causes people to come together.

Men generally end up spending way way too much time
thinking about how to help serendipity along. Whos to say
how much happens due to careful planning and how much
happens by the luck of the draw.

I say this only because it is important to note that some guys
aren't very good at this. They think they are being subtle
and it turns out that they are either being too subtle or
just plain annoying.

So ... indeed, he may be fox hunting. You may or may
not care who the fox is.

If it annoys you, figure out who he is hunting and (when
he shows up) just say "She's not here now" and grin
(assuming the fox is not you, of course).

He'll probably grin too and go away.

If the fox is you, you've got another problem. You could,
I suppose, say "I'm not here right now." :)

He may act innocent - in which case you have either
identified the wrong fox, you are off base or he doesn't
want to admit what he has been up to.

If you're at that point, you simply ask him "Why are you
asking ME all of these questions? You're making
me uncomfortable."

Answer 2

there are a couple of possibilities:
1. Maybe he is interested in YOU, and is looking for a reason to talk to you.
2. Maybe he is trying to get attention from the other girl, you could be right about that.
3. Doesn't sound like he is trying to draw attention to the fact that you don't know, but I suppose that is just as possible as anything else.

Do you have a way to look up the answers? That way, next time he asks, you could say "I don't know, but let's look it up" or "I don't know, but lets ask _______" That would make you seem really helpful, and might actually give you some insight on what his motives are.

Answer 3

yeah he could have waited to ask your boss but he didn't, so now what? perhaps he is just trying to get YOUR attention. maybe he likes you and just hasn't found the right way to bring it to you, especially since you are on the job. that is a touchy situation because people always say never go out with anyone you work with. it also depends on how long he has been doing this. if this is something that he just started doing or something he does every blue moon, then i wouldn't think too much of it, but, if he does it all the time, then he is just attempting to break the ice with you.

Answer 4

He might genuinely want the answer and think highly enough of you to expect an answer.

He might want to flaunt his superiority by asking difficult questions to a clearly inferior person.

He might actually be interested in you and not able to find another means to initiate contact.

Plenty of other things

Answer 5

I think maybe he likes you . He maybe trying to start up a conversation with you. Some guys have a hard time trying to start a conversation with a lady. This may be his way of trying.

Answer 6

Don't be so uptight. He may just respect you. Maybe you seem like the sort of person that knows what she's doing. You should be flattered and not insulted.

Answer 7

maybe he likes u and doesnt know how to approach u

Answer 8

To tell you the truth I really dont care and you shouldn't either.
