Advice please guys - men and flirting

[recycledteenager]

Please don't laugh too much, but hope you can help a saddo single mum out here who's totally out of practice at reading flirting signs...

Am beginning to wonder if a (definitely single and IMO very cute) guy I work with is just being friendly or actually flirting.

In your opinion, at what point does being friendly become being flirty? Am very anxious not to misread any signals and end up making total fool of myself, but if, as I suspect, he IS flirting, I also don't want to scare him off by coming across as desperate .

Can't believe at the ripe old age of 38 I am writing drivel more suited to the problem pages of a pre-teen magazine, but what are the tell tale signs I should be looking for please? Any advice very gratefully received. Many thanks!

Most men tend to be fairly unsubtle, non?
Why is this chap confusing you with his signals?

How very exciting for you, though!

He's single, he's cute, he's paying you attention.

Check he's not gay, and it sounds like you're in!

Seriously, it's rare for a man to pay any attention at all to a woman he doesn't find at least a little bit physically attractive. If you think he is flirting, he probably is!

As DaddyJ says, we tend not to send mixed signals.

Yep - if you think he is flirting with you he probably is.

Don't worry about making a fool of yourself or getting it wrong - if you like him just go for it or you will only regret the fact that you never tried.

If it turns out that you were wrong, all that will happen is that you will have stroked his ego somewhat and he will like this immensely. He won't go round and tell everyone what a sad git you are and laugh behind your back or anything silly like that.

Good hunting!

Agree with all that has been said thus far. I presume he's not wanting to talk to you about "outfits" or the Sound of Music?
Does he always smile when he sees you? Does he always linger for a chat at work? Has he let you find out quite a lot about him?
If you answered "yes" to any of the 3 above, then he's definitely interested. Go for it! Good luck.
