tawnyap Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I am friends with my coworker for about 6 months now. He interacts with only a select few, and am one of the few people he talks to. It's mostly him initiating the conversations to the most part, and I initiate once in a while but very rarely. Yesterday, it was just us at work and when we were about to leave, he started talking to me. He started some random conversation, and somehow ended up talking about his career goals. Later he asked me about my goals and I said I'd like to start a business of my own someday and he responded saying he would support me. I didn't get what he meant when he said that. What is he trying to imply in this context? He did tell me often times that he admires me for my work ethic etc. and sometimes discusses his personal work issues and says that he can connect to me on a personal level. Does he like me or is he just being a friendly guy? Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I would need more info to determine if he is just being friendly Link to post Share on other sites
Author tawnyap Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) He once had a bet with me and said whoever loses will need to take the other person out for lunch. I lost, so he sent out a lunch invite and said I could forward along to anyone else. So I invited one other coworker and went out for lunch and I dont think he really enjoyed the lunch that day. He once said he wanted to ask if I'd be interested in going to movies with him and his friends(he never really asked me this, but said he wanted to ask me but I left already so couldn't). He teases me once in a while but never really texts me or initiates contact outside of work. He said he Iikes to interrupt me at times when am the most busy. I do know that he is somewhat of a shy guy, but sometimes I just don't get him. Edited January 7, 2020 by tawnyap Link to post Share on other sites
JTSW Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi tawnyap, Honestly, i don't see any romantic interest here. He definitely feels a friendly connection with you and can see you as really good friends. The movie thing wasn't a romantic gesture. It was a friends outing as he mentions his other friends going. It wasn't a hint at a date. The lunch thing was just a friendly bet and he got you to include others in the lunch so again that was not any romantic gesture. I think you are reading too much into it.

PinkFlamingo Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) He might be interested, but is not very forward since he is shy. Since he seems comfortable with you, there is a good chance that he likes you. Ask him out, if you want to know for sure. Edited January 7, 2020 by PinkFlamingo Link to post Share on other sites
