alicemikkens Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Hello, I have a crush on a coworker at the school I work at, which developed a few months ago. We both work together at the after school club and are a similar age (24). There's been some instances where I don't know if he likes me too or is just being friendly. He's French and moved here in October, and I've been helping him practice his English at work. Some kids at work said we're in love so planned our wedding and we got "married". I've often seen him looking at me and looks away when I catch him. He always makes jokes and laughs with me (again, probably just friendly but my crush brain wants to think otherwise haha). He told me that he always thinks about me when he sees / hears about a football player because we're from the same place. This is long but I'm just giving instances where I've wondered if he feels similarly.. He recently brought clothes shopping with him to work, and another colleague asked him why he had all of them and he said it was because he needed to impress me, then told me not to worry and that he was trying & getting there (said in French so might not translate the same). I know it was a joke but there was an annoying part of me that wondered if he meant it a little. He also repeats my name a lot to himself, e.g. after he's said hello to me he'll repeat it, or after someone else says my name he starts to repeat it to himself. An old friend of mine works at the school during the week and said she thinks he likes me. Not sure if that means anything but there we go Sorry this is so long! But I'd appreciate any replies as I'm annoyed at myself for overthinking little things about our interactions haha.
Wiseman2 Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Ask him to go for a low-key coffee outside of work. This way if nothing is happening, it's just colleagues getting coffee, without awkwardness. If you have coffee, see how that goes. Right now he's just flirty and you have a crush.
d0nnivain Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Coffee after work sounds like a good low key chance to break the ice. Before you go there what's your plan if you date & break up? There are real pit falls to dating a colleague. Understand them before you start anything.
