KristinLeAnn252 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hey, I am completely lost in this whole relationship thing. I have a "thing" for one of my coworkers, my age. I asked if he had a significant other, and he doesn't, so of course I wanted to ask him to do something. When I asked if he wanted to go to a movie with me & some friends he said he might have to work & then when I came in, he said he did. I thought he might be interested in me because he's always looking at me, and once I even got a smile from accross the room. However, he won't talk to me, even though he talks to all my other coworkers. He laughs with them & everything, but I can't get hardly two words out of him. If I ask him a question he always just answers it in one word and then walks away. I don't know what's up! -Kristin Link to comment
kellbell Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi there, Welcome to eNotalone! Well, it could be he is shy. But he knows you are interested. Based on his ACTIONS, he is not interested in you in that way. IMO, when a guy is interested, he will at least talk. I would keep your options open with others. Hang in there. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Link to comment
macdomat Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I have to agree with kellbell on this one. Guys (typically) suck at subtlety. If he was really interested, you'd KNOW it. We're pretty blatant about stuff like that (unlike some women I know). Forget him and move on. ALSO, another note, I have to advise against relationships with co-workers. I don't mean friendships, that's great, and it's nice to have a buddy around the office to chit-chat with. But romance at work is trouble, take my word on it. If you were a guy, I'd use the old cliche, "Don't dip your pen in company ink." But you're not, so... Link to comment
KristinLeAnn252 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Company policy is that we're allowed to date co workers as long as they are not in a higher position than us (manager). What confuses me is that he will talk to everyone else. Why? I'm tempted to ask if he wanted to hang out when he was free, that way I could see whether he was interested at all, or just used work as an excuse. Any advice? Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Based on my experience with shy guys and the reading I have done on the shy people part of this forum and from articles, I would say this guy is interested but just very shy. The fact that he talks to everyone else but not you but yet catches your eye and smiles, and wants to see you but can't seem to make the move, is a clear indication that he is shy. Since you have already asked him out, the ball is in his court. If he can't overcome his shyness, there is nothing you can do. Link to comment
blackend heart Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 well ok im going to go against what everyone has said here, i myself was once a shy guy and my actions towards girls i liked were pretty much the same as that, the thing is if i understand this correctly he may think that you are out of his 'league' i know that i was like that, ok now for the advice, whilst at work just ask for small things like say you forgot something like a pen, ask to borrow his, if you are going to get a soda, ask if he would want one, just try to find excuses to have lil conversations with him, get him to trust you and talk to you, just take baby footsteps and hopefully he will see that he does have a chance. then again its been a long time since i overcame my shyness so im a bit out of touch so take what i said with a pinch of salt.

Momene Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The only red flag to this is that he's put you on a pedestal and sees you as a goddess to be worshipped than someone he can share an equal relationship with. He's in awe of you. How do I know? I was him many times, many years ago. Just suggest a movie with just the 2 of you and show that you're approachable. I think I might need a bridesmaid's dress after all! Link to comment
KristinLeAnn252 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 I hardly consider myself the worshipped type. Link to comment
Momene Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I hardly consider myself the worshipped type. No but he DOES worship you. Answer his prayers! Link to comment
blackend heart Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 ^^^^^^ i agree, he needs to know you are interested, else he may just cast you off as an unatttainable dream, i have done that so many times Link to comment
KristinLeAnn252 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Okay, well he works in food avenue (food court) so what should I say to him.. I mean everytime I try to start a conversation, he walks away after he answers. Link to comment
