To think this email is flirty

[RootinandTootin]

Got an email from a colleague I quite fancy and I’m not sure if I’m reading into it. “Are you sure you can manage that IT on your own? On a scale of confident to (person who’s terrible at IT) where are you?” Background the email is about something that needs doing after hours and I’ve asked this person for help before. Thoughts?

Possibly yes. I don't think you're stupid either OP! A lot of men can just be very condescending to younger women. Is he flirty when you spend time together?

I wouldn’t say overtly flirty but we do have a bit of banter, something I wouldn’t normally do with someone senior. Just a nice little bubble but I think that’s why it’s difficult to know if it’s just friendly or something else because there is always an air of maintaining professionalism. I think I’ll just ask him to stay to help and see how he responds. I think that will give me a clear indication. I just feel like we are on the verge of it’s

I’m not playing up to anything, just a bit useless. Like I said I’m brilliant in other parts of my job which I get praised for regularly by team members. I don’t feel offended by his comments I find them funny. Some of you posters really do put yourselves on your high horses don’t you?! Calm down and have a laugh for once in your lives. Honestly these comments make my eyes roll.

No

When you say you wouldn't normally flirt with a senior within your team I assume that this relates to professionalism?

Be careful about personal interactions with work colleagues as it could become awkward for one of both of you if there is disagreement, misinterpretation etc.
