I've had to name change for this because I feel like a silly teen asking about my crush. But it's worth a shot.
There's a bloke that I work with and I've been sensing chemistry between us. He acts like he's interested - he teases me about things all the time, talks to me a lot, once he actually jumped up after he successfully helped me with something (it sounds idiotic and it was, but also cute).
Anyway, his behaviour is completely different at other times. We have different supervisors and when his is around, he doesn't even acknowledge my presence. I don't expect him to come running to me every time I walk into the room. I would at least say hello, or look at him (he doesn't even make eye contact) while I was with my supervisor. In spite of the flirting, he also hasn't asked me out.
I'm confused by this. Have I just misinterpreted his interest? Is he ashamed of being seen with me? Does he think I would act inappropriately with his boss there?
If it helps, he's a few years older than me. I'm not sure of his exact age, but I would say there's a 5-7 year difference. His position is also higher than mine. Even though I'm younger and less qualified, I still work hard and act professionally, so I don't understand what he is thinking.
