Hoping someone might be able to provide some insight!
Myself and a work colleague both recently became single. We’ve worked together for years although rarely socialised and were both taken for all of that time. That said, she’s someone I’ve always respected.
When it came to light I’d become single again things became a bit weird. Suddenly she was acting coy around me (and she is not a shy person - quite the opposite!) staring at her feet in my company and being a bit jittery. Out of nowhere I randomly began to feel some chemistry and began to start a crush. I started a conversation with her which was lovely - we got on and sparked - but since then she’s gone from being flustered to sort-of knowingly coy. Like one time she followed me out a door and smirked whilst looking away. So I guess she’s guessed I have crush - but now it feels like she sees it as a game. The smirk just came across as a bit too knowing and self-satisfied. At the same time she’s turning up at work wearing rather short dresses but then again it is very warm and perhaps she’s always dressed this way but until now I didn’t notice.
Neither of us are hormonal teeenagers. We’re both professionals in our thirties. And I’ll be the first to admit that whilst I keep quite trim, I’m hardly tall and handsome. So is this flirting just a bit of a “pick me up” having come out of a long relationship with no genuine attraction? Or is there actually something going on? Or is this all in my head?
Yes, I am a clueless bloke. Help!
