He's my co-worker but I like him,what should I do?

Question

I have been working with this guy now for a while but I'm not sure if he likes me.He is one of the sweetest persons I know but I'm a bit confused,sometimes it would seem as if he likes me but another time it's just business as usual. We are chefs and we move around alot in the kitchen sometimes we touch to pass each other, espacially if it gets busy,he likes to play around with me, sometimes he blows in my ear when he passes by, and if the work load is too much he offers to help out,he even calls to find out if I get home ok when we work late. The thing is, he plays around with other co-workers too,is it that I'm making too much of this? I don't want him to know how I feel because it will become very uncomfortable for me to work with him.

Answer 1

Workplace romances are the worst. Bad idea all around. People will change and feel weird about each other if they hook up with someone they see on the job everyday. What about the days when you're off? Will you be wondering if he's hitting on someone else at work? Will you be constantly wondering if he's looking at other chicks and start trying to dictate who he can talk to and stuff? No good, trust me...don't do it.

Answer 2

Relationships in the workplace is never really recommended, I'm sure you've been told that. Looks like this guy likes playing around and getting attention from his female coworkers, and that's that. Since you two work so close together, just deal with your feelings and be glad you're friends. It's not worth the uneasiness of telling him - it's not professional and could do some harm to your job. Is that worth it?

Answer 3

When two people work together for a while, it's understandable that they can become attracted to one another. The one thing that you must remember is to stay professional at work. I don't believe what most do when it is said that those types of relationships don't work or can't, to me, it depends on the people involved. Just stay true to what you know you want in a relationship and if it's him, you'll know when & how to tell or let him know - you won't be able to deny it if it's the real thing.

Answer 4

Does he play around with the other co-workers like he does you? Does he call to make sure they get home when you all work late? Figure all that and if you can see the difference in you and the other co-workers, than I think that you have found your answer.

Answer 5

I think if he's playing those games with all of the chefs, then that isn't a way to test if he is into you. He just sounds like a really caring guy.

If you ARE interested in him, though, you should ask him out, perhaps for a cup of coffee or something.

Answer 6

talk to him, touch a lil' more, flirt a lil' more!! no shame in your game. i do that a lot too, the " i dunno if it's just me and im making too much of a big deal about it". If he does the EXACT same thing to the other co-workers ( even the phone calls) then he's probably just like that. that doesn't mean he's never going 2 be yours!! talk to him more, crack a few jokes. you guys can get to know each other more. :).....

Answer 7

As a general rule, I don't date people I work with. I think it could be awkward if things don't go well and there is breakup (especially a bad one).

Answer 8

Flirt back and dont do anything else........if he likes you he will ask you out. One thing I have learned about guys...........
IF they like a girl they WILL go after them under any circumstances.

Make yourself available, but not TOO available.

Answer 9

Play it cool, sounds like he is a classic flirt.

Answer 10

If you like him, simply ask him out for drinks or dinner. I say, go for it :-)
