Why is a married man copying me?

[ItsDrizzlingNow]

I have this new colleague, he is married. He’s been doing this thing where he copies me, like copying my movements and gestures.

I don’t know what to make of it. Some people think he’s just being friendly but I have noticed he does this to no one else but me and I don’t know why.

Like, if I’m standing and I lean on the wall, he’ll copy me too and do the same. If I’m sitting and I cross my arms, he’ll copy me and do it do. While saying nothing and not making any conversation with me. He’s paying attention a lot to me and my gestures and imitates what I do regularly.

Like if I say hello, he’ll say hello too. If I ignore him, he’ll ignore me too. He never acts like this with any other person at work apart from me. I don’t understand?

Tell him it makes you uncomfortable

@ItsDrizzlingNow why would he initiate conversation if he’s attracted to you? Maybe he’s very shy? Socially awkward? Fancies you but doesn’t want to act on it because he’s ermmm…. MARRIED!

Yawn. Here we go again with those with too much time on their hands.

And a crush they brighten their days with daydreaming about their “issue”. Please endeavour to provide my euphoric dopamine hits via confirmation “OMG!! He totally fancies you, you beautiful, highly individual person you”

Do the snap and fart and see what happens

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And then immediately report back.

Lol 😂

I actually don't think he fancies you.

I've had men fancy me at work - they used every opportunity to speak to me and then at the Christmas do got drunk and confessed their love for me (has happened three times). This doesn't sound like that. People mirror their friends, people they like, so maybe he thinks you're kind/chatty and subconsciously is copying you because of it.

Men aren't particularly subtle. If he fancied you I think it'd be more obvious than just mirroring tbh. Sounds friendly to me

Guessing you fancy him and you’re hoping everyone on here will say omg he definitely fancies you so you can feel smug. He’s married, this is not an attractive trait so just forget about the crush.

I think it's quite possible he's realised that you're analysing his mannerisms and it's making him feel nervous and self-conscious, and the mirroring is a reaction to that. I mirror when I feel awkward.

Stop scrutinising his every gesture and see what happens.

She will be bored and have to go back to everyday humdrum life where she’s a mere mortal, not the object of some man’s “ideal princess in waiting” ideal

Why would his wife be there?

Imaginary?

Ok

Make him do Saturday night fever

I never thought I'd hear anyone with this same experience as it's so incredibly weird. I have a neighbor who is an older married man who very aggressively propositioned me multiple times soon after I moved in next door. He began peeping in my windows and harassing me so I called the police a few times who did nothing. He was warned at least and hasn't crossed over to my property again yet. But instead he copies me!! Literally any little thing I do he does as well. I left a rake outside leaning against a post. Immediately he left the exact same rake outside leaning against a post. I bought a very specific kind of mower, he bought the same mower. My DD (toddler) had been climbing on her sister's doll house so I set it outside just to get it out of the way. This man proceeds to put a doll house outside his in the exact same spot! His kids are all grown! I have SO many examples of this. It's insanity. I would be wary of this man who is copying you, and report him if he does anything that's actually reportable. I think they are doing it because it's not reportable or unlawful, but still harassment so they get their little pleasure from it. Absolutely disgusting.

Like if I say hello, he’ll say hello too. If I ignore him, he’ll ignore me too.

😯😯😯 he does not! 😯😯😯
I'm outraged for you
