happythroughout Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Many of you would say don't get involved romantically at work. I quite agree. There's this guy at work. We get on great, have lots of laughs, talk about a lot of things, have each other's back at work. I've noticed him checking me out and most of his body language shows he's comfortable with me. He's not going to stay at his job for long so it would be great if we get to date after he leaves. But I'm getting some difficulty deciding whether I've become his buddy, someone that he likes (but not like like), or he sees potential but we just don't go further because we're coworkers now. Basically I want to avoid being friendzoned. Views?
iKING Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 My only advice is don't make yourself too available until he shows obvious interest. Light flirting is a way to guage his interest level, but don't consider throwing yourself at him just yet.

Light flirting is a way to guage his interest level, but don't consider throwing yourself at him just yet. I don't know... So now both of them will beat around the bush and nothing will happen. Which would be a shame. Somebody needs to show clear interest. It might as well be her. I recommend the OP to try to kiss him, or at least ask him on a date! At least she'll know whether he's interested enough. If not, move on...plenty of other guys out there.
Author happythroughout Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 But do you guys think there's enough to go on? That he's somewhat interested? Based on what I wrote. Given our circumstances and before anyone asks anyone out.

Author happythroughout Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 I don't think he is interested enough, no. Because otherwise he would have asked me out already?
Author happythroughout Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Light flirting would help determine that. You have to test the waters before you jump in. Does that mean at this stage you can't tell whether he likes me as a buddy or has any mild interest?
iKING Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Does that mean at this stage you can't tell whether he likes me as a buddy or has any mild interest? That is correct. He may have mild interest but It's not apparent enough for a direct action yet. Test the waters, if he responds well, consider asking him to go out for drinks or something.
