A guy on my staff
I got hired to work on my college housing staff. I am 18 and female and the guy I will be talking about is 19. So, I thought he was cute for a while. We talk, we joke, he laughs at my jokes, my eyes always search for him first in a crowded room. Tonight, we had staff bonding, we watched a movie in the basement. My roommate and one of my other best friends on staff sat together, so the cute guy came over to me and asked if he could sit next to me to which I said of course. It started out really awkward, we were both on our own sides minding our own business. However, as the movie progressed, I realized we were mimicking each other's actions. We were both eating food, I finished eating, so he stopped eating. I then cracked my knuckles, I stopped and then he cracked his knuckles. So, I moved my position so that my legs were a little closer to his, he didn't move for a little but then he moved his arm to the back of the couch we were on and set it behind me.
It's just little things and it isn't a lot but do you think there is something possibly there? (: He's so cute and I don't want to just blatantly tell him that I like him right away, before the school year even starts because I don't want to ruin a work/personal friendship with him. But, do you think we may have chemistry? Thanks!

I am going to share an article that tells you everything i would have typed but this way is easier. Please read it. Its about body language. Many of us do this without being aware of it, like its a natural inbred instinct.
But once you are aware of it and catch yourself doing this or the other person responding the same, it means there is romantic interest on both side if both are doing it. I cann tell you from experience, that this has never ending up being a false reading.
Good luck with the guy dear.

I definitely think you both have chemistry, you have a great attitude for not wanting to rush anything. That's exactly what you should do, just go along for the ride! I'm betting things will progress between you two, eventually you will add each other on Facebook or other social media and get each others number. It's fun to have a little fling, so definitely enjoy it. If it's meant to be it will happen for you both, so enjoying work and him as a friend will be a major benefit to you. This is similar to exactly what happened to me, now I'm with my current boyfriend for over a year. Obviously there are no guarantees, but what's the worst that happens? You guys stay friends? I say it's a win win for you. Enjoy college, enjoy your job, and enjoy your fling. Hope this helps!

I think he may like you. But I also think its unprofessional of you to form any relationship just yet-especially as you've just started.
Sometimes when its clear someone else likes us in that way, it makes us like them.
The important thing to do here is focus on the timing. If you do want to get with him then wait. You've just started out. There's plenty of time. Concentration on the task at hand. Its also worthwhile remembering your age-18. Hormones will be everywhere and you are likely to blow things out of proportion-as you have said previously.
I know this may not be what you want to hear-but its just my opinion. You may have chemistry but this could be spoilt and it'd be unprofessional to act on it just yet.
