New female started at our company a couple of months ago. She got married just before she started so her start date was delayed a week or two due to her honeymoon.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like she looks at me a lot. For example if I come upstairs I see her looking at me, probably longer than what is normal. Other times I have noticed her glancing at me when I don’t think it’s really natural for her to do that.

She sits with her back to me and sometimes if I’m asked a question I notice she sometimes turns round fairly eagerly to see what I say.

We work in different departments so don’t really chat at all.

Just seems quite odd and wondered if anyone had any opinions. Is she attracted to me?

New female

Are you the dad from Friday night dinner?

She’s a woman. A married woman. If she’s gawping at you look the other way and get on with your work.

And as other PP said... dodge that bullet. Blokes do it to women all the time, you need to learn to ignore it. She might just be curious about her new colleagues and figuring out the office dynamics.

Wait, she didn't know she was getting married so arranged an earlier start date?

MN should set up a separate board where all the workplace crush and limerence folk can gather to stalk their unfortunate crushes and look for signs of undying love. It would spare the rest of us.....

Who knows?

Could be anything. Maybe you remind her of someone and she's trying to place you.

You may have a physical flaw that bugs her and she's trying to work it out.

A friend of mine was obsessed with teeth centre lines and was always looking at people to see whether their tooth centre line was in the middle.

I know someone else who used to go on and on about Binky from MIC having a squint/ wall eye (not my terminology) and how she couldn't look away from it.

Maybe she likes your lipstick and is trying to colour match it in her head.

People are weird.

It's far more likely she's staring for a negative reason than a positive one though. People who are attracted to someone tend to be shy and avoid getting caught staring.

Does she speak to you or just these looks ?when people are new somewhere they often use more eye contact to come over as friendly
