AIBU to tell her to just enjoy it?

A very light AIBU but i'd like you all to tell me I'm right lol

I've had drinks with my little sister (in her 20s so not that little!) today. She has a thing for a guy at work. He's quite quiet but friendly and will come over and say hi to her, bought her a drink at the christmas party etc.

She's not sure if he likes her or is just being friendly. She's not comfortable enough to ask him yet but I'd say he's interested. He's away on a training course for a couple of weeks and she sent him a message Friday and they've been messaging back and forth for the last 3 days, and over a 12 hour back and forth. She thinks he's just being friendly...AIBU or is it extremely rare for a man to be bothered messaging someone for that long without being interested?

Help me prove her wrong, hopefully lol

He's interested!

Dare her to text him for a date.

sounds like he's interested

Whatsappy · 04/02/2018 21:20

Haha thanks posters! She's shy, he's shy so she definitely won't do that with the date yet. She's nervous as they both work in the same place (but not directly together).

She's said to me the chat was 'boring' mundane stuff and no flirting but any messages over the course of 3 days sound like a lot of effort for someone that isn't having major chats while actually at work, just a bunch of semi awkward hellos? lol

Tell her to ask him whether he likes... whatever she likes. That's an opener. Film, art, anything.

oldschoolcool...they don't have a problem with topic, they've been talking back and forth for the last few days via message : )

I think inperson my sister feels more self conscious as she knows she likes him and doesn't know if he knows haha

Hey we should meet up for a drink or something when you get back.

If he's interested it will become apparent. And she's not exactly asking him out just for a catch up in person.

Springtrolls, I said that to her but she's still too nervous

He started messaging last night to see how her day was and a business meeting so I still think I'm right! :D
