So I work with this guy, not often but do cross paths for a small time each day.
I am happily taken in a long term relationship and he is married. He is a bit older, not sure how much by but def older at least 10 years.
When I first saw him he looked a bit awkward infront of Me, caught him looking once but only once. He doesn't really talk to me other than say hi or whatever.
Anyway my boss had me working with him the other day because someone called in sick and he looked instantly uncomfortable....but as the day went on he got more confident.
I have been out of the game so long I can't tell what is banter and what is flirting.
Some of things he said made me wonder if he was trying to flirt such as...
- asking lots about me and I felt he was trying to find out if I had a spouse from some of the questions.
- when I said I don't have any pockets for pens he told me to put it in my bra
- he said he was going to tell my brother who he knows but not close with that he is going out with a chick today and was going to pretend it was me but then said Maybe not...
- I felt he was fishing for compliments asking me why I liked working in his department and do I like it more now? I think he was trying to get me to say it was because of him.
He also told me he used to go out with a girl years ago before he was married in my area but had another one on the go at the same time somewhere else and said back when I was young and had fun.
I know these things aren't that flirty but there was something about him which made me think he was trying to get me to flirt with him.
I can't really tell him to back off when he's not obviously done something to say he's interested.
