Does he like me?

Okay so I recently got a new job. I have never worked with guys before this, and now there is this guy at work that I like.

I dont know what is going on, but I cannot stop thinking about him. I get excited going to work if I know I will be working with him.

At first when I started working there, I did not really notice him in the way that I do now.

Also, there is an age difference. I am 24 and he is 21- however, I am willing to get over that.

The bad thing is that he is tranferring to another branch ( i work as a bank) next week- so I dont have much time.

I am normally really shy when it comes to guys, however I feel like I have been really brave this time around. Since he is going to be transferring to a branch that is like 2 minutes from my house, I gave him my phone number. I told him to call me if there are ever any openings that I might be able to get hired for.

I dont know, lately him and I have been talking more at work, we joke around with each other all the time. He once said he thought I was "reserved" and since he knows it bugs me, he calls me that often. When I gave him my number I also joked around and told him I knew he wanted my number so badly anyways and he smiled and said "shh, dont tell anyone!"

Then today we were talking about this guy that I met at teller training that he knows too. He was saying some things about him and told me not to tell anyone. This guy works at another branch, and I am not even friends with him- just met him at training. So I told him its not like I would ever see him, and he said "well maybe he finds you attractive, plus he lives in your area"

He also looked at my ipod today and was curious to see what kind of music I like. It just seems like he is also always looking over my shoulder when I am reading a magazine, or stands really close to me. I also think that sometimes he looks at my up and down when he thinks I am not looking.

I dont know, i feel like im crazy about him- but cannot tell if he likes me. The bad thing is that Wednesday is his last day at work, and I dont want this to slip out of my hands. I plan on telling him when I say byt to him on his last day to call me the next day and let me know how his first day went. Hopefully that is not to obvious.

Last friday he asked me where I was going to lunch about two times in a row, when i asked him where he was going he said "well, where are you going?" Instead of saying some flirtatious comment, I just told him I was getting sick of the places around there!

Most of the time, tellers cannot go to lunch together anyway because you cover each other.

Some of my friends are telling me to ask him out- but I dont think that I can... it would be too hard for me.

Based on what i've said... does it seem he might like me?

Possibly.

Ditto. His behavior is borderline--he might like you or he might just be a natural flirt. I think you should just ask him to a neutral spot (starbucks after work?) and see where things go. If he reads well on the meter, ask him to dinner (or if things go really well, he might ask you).

Since he is leaving your branch, it's the perfect opportunity to say "How about I buy you a farewell drink after work?" See how that goes.

Agreed. The worst he can say is no.

madmax · #6 07-08-2005, 04:26 PM

No. He just wants to with you.

Ps. Other than the title, I didn't read a single word of your post.

Good idea. That way, if he says no, at least you can just play it off like you really were just asking him to go for a farewell drink and nothing more.

If he likes you, he is the kind of guy that has developed a real flirty personality, but has trouble closing the deal.

Either because he is actually a little shy, lack of practice, fear of rejection or developed what he views asa non-threatening way to show his regard.

So basically he has gone 90 percent of the way towards you and you need to close the last 10 percent. Which is just setting up something outside of work. An after work drink is probably your best plan.

If I remember correctly, you are cute. So even if he was just being super nice to you, he is going to be flattered by the attention.

If he punches you in the arm and calls you "a girl"....he likes you.

Oh wait, that is grade school.

Relax and JUST ASK THE GUY OUT if you want to...

PhoenixAzul · #10 07-09-2005, 11:35 PM

Yes...he's just too chicken to make the first move. I'm with the others in saying ask him for a drink or something.

"or something".

Go get 'em tiger!

Did you use to be a nun or something? Wait, even nuns work with priest.

Oh ok, I got it. Were you a prison guard at a womens prison?

Oh, and wear one of those button up shirts where you boobs stick out, and you could see your boob from the side because of the little hole the buttons kind of make. Yyyyyyep. That shit matters.

Ace of Base, I hope you are reading this! Photosynthesis and I've got a piece of apple pie for you later!

Dude, I think half the guys out there don't know how to close the deal. Either that or they just don't know WHEN to close the deal. I know some dudes that try to be friends with chicks and never realize the bitches think they're gay. Whatever. It sucks to be them.

okay so yesterday was my last day at work with him. Today is his official last day, but my day off.

all week long we have been talking, and now I cant decide if I am attracted to him or just want to be his friend. I mean, I still think about him all the time, but when he gets to work I don get butterflies in my stomach or anything. I just enjoy working with him, and flirting with him.

I let him borrow a couple of more movies, and he still never brought them back. He could have still brought them into work today and left them for me... we will have to see if he remembered. However, yesterday I told him that if he did not bring them in by today that he would have to just take me out to lunch or something to pay me back. He just laughed and smiled- but didnt say no. Also, yesterday we were talking and he was asking me if I liked these certain guys that worked at HEB (we are in an instore branch) and I was telling him "there are no cute guys that come to this branch!" and he replied by saying "hello!! what about me, you just hit a blow to my face" (well something to that extent anyway) so I smiled and said "okay, well I mean, there are no cute customers that come to this branch" so he smiled and played it off. Then he was asking me what kind of guys I like.

Later, a friend of mine came by the branch to make a deposit and she was saying that she couldnt believe i was still at this branch and was driving all these miles since my branch hadnt opened so the guy i like said "we wouldnt have it any other way!"

He also teased me about being reserved again because he was helping out a customer and she was asking me if any people call me certain nicknames and I was telling her some names people call me and he butted in saying "i call her reserved" because he knows i hate it.

So nothing really happened, and when I left I gave him a hug and he told me to come visit him at his new branch, and that he would go to my new branch (whenever it opens!) to give me a hard time. I then asked him if he still had my number and he said yes. Then this other co-worker heard me asking him that and he said "why does he have your number and I dont?" so the guy I like said "because im special!" and when I was leaving he was pretending he was crying- kind of joking around.

So I never told him to call me to let me know how his new job goes, and I did not ask him out- however if he did not bring my movies back to work today, I will have to call him and then I can play up my joke about him taking me out to lunch again.

I had my chance, and I didnt go for it. I have just never asked a guy out, and for some reason I was second guessing myself about him these last few days. I am just not sure if I like him like that, but I certainly want him as a friend. Hopefully he didnt bring the movies back and I can call him in a few days. Maybe that was his plan all along?

I can only wish!
