i work with this guy and He came back today. he was on vacation all summer in florida. I have had a thing for him since i started working there in august. He is 8 years older then me & he has a girlfriend But when we work together he flirts i guess you can call it. Like if im standing down one of the isles he'll throw something at me to get my attention just to laugh at me. We have a squirt bottle of water & he'll go up behind me and squirt me with it. He'll grab my side. Or if there are no customers in the store he lifts his shirt up & says noone you know can compete with this.or something like that lol.
Its just a bunch of random things he does. And that all happened tonight.
Is this flirting? Is he leading me on? Im not going to tell him to stop doing this stuff because i love the attention. I just dont want to fall for him.

MelLeDisko answered Wednesday August 9 2006, 5:51 pm: Well, I definetely think he's flirting with you. But, some boys tend to be overly friendly and their not realizing it, just like some girls can be too. I wouldn't fall for him, because he's already a taken man, and also even if he broke up with his girlfriend and you two ever winded up together, I'm sure he'd be doing the same stuff to another girl somewhere else, and I'm sure you wouldn't be too happy about that. I'm sure just loves the attention to and showing off his "hot bod" and all that stuff, ha. So basically : don't fall for the kid. I hope I helped.

Don't take it too personally though, he probably just enjoys getting the attention (much like you do) and means nothing by it. I doubt it has much to do with you as a person, and more do with the fact that you are the audience he has right there.
Just realize it's just friendly joking and you'll be fine. Don't get caught up in it.
Playful flirting can be a fun way to interact with someone, just make sure it stays in check. If you feel he is going too far for someone who isn't really interested in you (the fact he has a girlfriend would indicate he isn't really interested, unless he is a jerk) stand up for yourself, tell him and back away a bit.

Elcee answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 9:55 am: I guess you could call it flirting or even teasing. He may just be a friendly kind of chap that enjoys winding people up. If you don't have a problem with it and can put up with his jokes etc., then there is no reason not to treat as a friendly colleague.
However, should he seriously start flirting/touching or teasing you to the point of embarrassment, then I suggest telling him forcefully that his actions are no longer welcome and to back off or you may have to report him.
As long as you can give as good as you get and his girlfriend is aware of his character, then have a little fun at work. Make sure that it is not detrimental to your job or you could find yourself out of work.
