What is your opinion on this person?

Question

i have noticed a woman I am working with keeps mimicking things i do. she is educated and in her late 20's. for examples

1 when I get a clean hair cut, within the next few days i see she has done her hair in ways I never seen her do before.

2 when i start to wear certain type of clothing (ie checkered) - i notice in the new few days she wears checkered clothing which i never seen her wear

3 i once told her unique people makes me tick, since then she will go out of her way to show me she does unique things (uses the microwave to heat her coffee when one hot water tap is broken, when one would usually use the other taps).

These actions led me to think perhaps she would like to talk - but when I do she tells me she she is busy and already has a partner. I'm not sure where the partner thing came from, but fair enough, i decide to leave her alone but she keeps greeting me and mimicking me and following me at work.

i'm a little confused by this persons actions.

Answer 1

both oars are not in the water here.

Answer 2

well some people are socially inept, and wouldn't know how to show you that she is interested. i wonder how well you too are doing comparatively at work if you are getting a reaction that she wants to get at work than she maybe trying to figure out that trait so that she will get similar results. either way just try and tell her that this is making you feel a bit uncomfortable and get the reason behind the behavior.

Answer 3

She is the copy-cat. You are the original, the class. Just behave as you normally do and pay no attention to the mimicking.

Answer 4

apparently you are a trend setter at your place of employment. you must do a fine job at your tasks, and they admire you. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. enjoy it, relish it, you are "the man".

Answer 5

You apparently have toooooo much time on your hands.
