I work in retail and I feel like my coworker has been flirting with me..and I may have been subconsciously doing it also.
He's an overall friendly/funny guy so he's nice to everyone but I feel like he approaches me and makes an effort to talk to me more.
He approached me today to tell me the DUMBEST joke...and I can't believe I started cracking up. He always seems to tease me and makes fun of me esp when I do something wrong (but he smiles while he says he...and it's not harsh; it actually makes me laugh). He doesnt tease anyone else as much. I didn't want to think that he was flirting with me but I started being observant to see if he was treating my other cute coworker females that way...and he doesn't..It seems like he puts more of an effort with me than with others. Also, whenever I'm talking and I think that he's not listening...He catches what I'm saying and may even interrupt or question me about it or bring it up at a later time. ---IS HE JUST HAVING FUN or is he flirting with me? I mean, am I WAY over my head or does he like me? It's driving me nuts because I can't figure out how he feels about me. Help me please. Any other signs that I should notice? Thanks for all your time!
Additional info, added Tuesday July 8 2008, 1:45 am: I guess I just want to confirm if this is infact FLIRTING...I don't really have experience with guys so I'm unsure about his actions...
PS. I know this question is SO freaking cliche. I HATE them too and I'm being a huge hypocrite...never thought I'd see the day when I would post a question like this...but it's killing me because I can't figure out the situation..

From there:
I'm going to give you a list of what guys tend to do when they like girls:
1. They don't call you "sexy". They call you "beautiful", "gorgeous", "amazing", etc.
2. They make an effort to hug you. They might high-5 instead, but it really depends on the guy in question.
3. They DO find any reason to touch you in some way. Mostly it ISN'T in a sexual way. Its more of just an excuse to remember what you feel like, I guess. Its hard to explain...
4. He is always smiling around you. If you're feeling bad and he's around- he'll be smiling because he knows that he's there to help you- and that's like brownie points for a guy if they can help a girl out. That, like the above, is hard to explain.
5. He'll tell you things about himself that he normally wouldn't tell everyone. He opens up to you. Guys don't get a chance to do that when pressured to "be manly".
6. If you have a feeling that a guy likes you- you're probably right. Guys aren't the best at hiding it- and girls are even better at figuring these type of things out.
If you like this guy- and he does all or most of those things- my best bet is that he does like you. That means one and only one thing: Ask him to make sure, and then try the relationship out. Who knows- it could be great!
He's pretty much done all of these, it seems like. I think he likes you, and I think he's definitely flirting ;]
Missa8305 answered Tuesday July 8 2008, 6:08 pm: My vote: he digs you. But... I've been wrong before.
My advice: don't stress over him. If he likes you... Eventually he'll give himself away, on purpose, or ask you on a date. But if he doesn't, and you meet someone else, don't wait around. I'm sure there are plenty of guys in the world that would love to date you... May the best man win :P [ Missa8305's advice column | Ask Missa8305 A Question ]
laynemayhem answered Tuesday July 8 2008, 6:06 am: it sounds like he does, but as you said. guys are confusing. i dont know, he may just be trying to be friendly. ask him to have some coffee with you sometime or maybe just even start flirting back. compliment his shirt or something. and if he backs off a little, then he doesnt. but if he starts doing the same thing again. he does. :)
i hope it all works out. but breathe easy. dont get crazy flirty around him, just play it off cool as you have been.
