Help me read this man

[XRockinrobynx]

I have never particularly been in this situation before. There's a man who's currently working in my place of work for a few weeks. He's doing some work on the building with a team. He seems to be very interested in talking to me. When I walk in in the morning his eyes are always on me. If he's talking to someone else he just calls over to me and cracks a joke. Always smiling at me.

Today I walked past and he was speaking to my colleague. She said good morning to me. I was going on my break and he called over to me, did you just say bacon buttys. I laughed and said you wish but now you've said that I could eat one actually. He then said he could go and get us both one. I laughed and said hmmm sounds good (cringe) obviously he didn't get us one. I then noticed him staring at me with a little smile on his face. Like me was soaking me up or something.

Last week when it was hot he was saying how beautiful it was but making lots and of eye contact and was looking back at me.

Just seems he's determined to chat to me when there's no huge need.

Now I'm flattered by the attention but I'm getting a little nervous about where hes going with it. I am fairly shy in regards to approaching men and he's with other men working. So I don't know whether he's trying to hint at me. I'm not sure if he's going to eventually approach me with his number or something.

I'm also trying to work out if I now have a thing for him and whether I should run a mile or hope for a number.

But I'm absolutely awful at reading people. It feels like it's only me he's directing this at.

How do you know what f a man likes you or if he's just being friendly?

Clearly he fancies you, but isn’t sure If it’s reciprocated
All the signs,looks,jokes,banter
It goes where you want it to go. If you can (discreetly) check
that
he is single
Not the office poon hound

This is the thing. I don't want to encourage a man into my life who I know nothing about and then find out he's abit of a nob. I don't know his name or age. But he is flattering me with his attention. He does sometimes seem nervous too. When there's less men stood with him he normally shouts something jolly over. He told my work friend he thinks im a really lovely person (what does this mean in man language)

I've only ever had two serious relationships and I knew them before feelings. So this is my first stranger encounter.

Well, if he's in construction, he's quite possibly the type to flirt a bit to make the day more fun,could be just banter, but, we don't know him, so it might be that he thinks you're especially nice.
The ball could be in your court, you don't really say whether you fancy him or not, I think you need to decide yourself if you are just flattered by the attention or actually would like to see him out of work. Just banter back as you have been doing for now, if he's interested, he'll make it known before the end of his work there, if it's just banter, he won't be asking you out by the time his contract is up. One way or the other you'll find out in time.

It's funny because I think he's a little older than me. He's possibly 38-42ish and I'm 31. I can't decide what I think really. It's nice to be noticed. It has been a while since I have been noticed. It's usually one of the blondes I work with that get the fuss. I genuinely don't normally attract as first choice. Although Id like to think I look attractive as I do do my hair and makeup to look nice.

I kind of like him but I am painfully aware that alot of men are players.

I guess I'll just have to wait.

Finding out a man is a nob is all part of dating. But you often have to date before you find this out. It's just the risk you have to take in life, we all do. Dating is not commitment, take it slow if unsure, and ditch if they turn out to be a nob, you don't have to stick with them. I'd do some digging, perhaps one of his co-workers? Just ask one of them if he's single, then you've more to go off.

I don't want to encourage a man into my life who I know nothing about and then find out he's abit of a nob.

If this is the case, how do you ever expect to find a partner? Strangers meet and end up together all the time. This is just a part of normal life. You meet someone, it may work out, it may not. No big deal. He clearly has a thing for you, so if you are amenable and he asks you out, go for it. What have you got to lose? I think you are massively overthinking this.

That's true! We will have to see. Thank you!

If he's interested he'll ask you out before he leaves the job. I'd just sit back and see what happens

No offence but I hate it When people say you are massively over thinking this on here. Drives me mad lol.

I'm not going to say it, but you are 😁 like, hugely!!

Of course you want to know he’s not a nob before you express an interest
Ok,do you have a sign in book, who’s he there to see?can you ask them discreetly
And I’d check anyone out if they were potential date, madness not to
