Please bear with me, I have autism and find it hard to read social behaviour, particularly when it’s romantically driven (emotion based). I’ve always found a colleague attractive but am so unsure if it’s reciprocated. I went to an event he was at last night and he spent the whole night chatting to me and when he was on stage, he kept looking at smiling at me. We chatted and laughed lots about work stuff and at the end he insisted on walking me to a taxi. He hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. He messaged me to see if I’d got home ok. During the night, he was complimentary of how young I look for my age, laughed at my shit jokes and said in meetings, we ought to have our own alternate chat going on on the side to identify the bull shit. Now, my question is, is this him liking me as a mate(great!) or liking me as something more (also great!). My anxiety is such that I can’t just ask him, but equally, I can’t guess whether he does or not as I struggle with social cues. Thanks!
