LostInTheWind Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I've been at my new job a little over a month. For the most part, the majority of the staff there seems to be friendly. A couple of weeks in, this guy who also works there introduced himself to me and said that he had seen me around, but wasn't sure what my deal was. I told him that I was new. After introducing himself, he told me that if I ever needed help using the computer program we have at the office to let him know as his office was not too far from mine. About a week later, we passed each other in the hall and he said "(insert my name here), right?" and reiterated that if I ever needed help with the computer program to let him know. He also offered help with something else. On a different occasion, I was headed somewhere and hadn't realized that he was walking behind me. He said hi to me and asked how I was doing. I responded and when I asked him how he was doing, he responded in Spanish (since he knows that I speak it). More recently I ran into him in again. He made small talk by asking me how I was doing and how I learned to speak Spanish. He then attempted to say something in Spanish and asked how long I had been at the job already. I told him that it was exactly a month that day. He told me that deserved a celebration and gave me a high five. He then mentioned it to another co-worker who walked into the room we were in and they both clapped for me. The next day, I ran into him when I was clocking out and he happily said my name when he saw me (e.g. "Jane!!") and then greeted me with a high five. He explained that he likes to give high fives since part of our job entails working with children and its become a habit for him (although I haven't seen him high five anyone else) but understands if the high fives are not welcomed. I told him that I don't mind. He seems like he's friendly to everyone, but he also seems to be a bit shy and awkward. I'm not one to assume that a guy is interested and/or flirting simply because he's nice, but I've kind of gotten a gut feeling about this guy. Sometimes, I get the sense that he's not just trying to be friendly, but other times I'm not so sure. What do you guys think? Does it seem like he's just trying to be friendly?
bmh Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I think there's a high possibility he's interested. He could just be offering a friendly smile and nod when in passing.....but he's doing more. I would just see where it goes. How do you feel about him?
