Male colleague is weird and awkward with me

A senior male colleague is kind of weird and awkward with me. He can be kind of awkward in general but still friendly and chatty with everyone else, but he acts weird with me. For context I can be kind of quiet too.

Some examples:

  • I was training a new colleague and he came up to us both to tell her she needed to do some paperwork. He ignored me during this conversation and then said "one of those lovely people over there can help you with it" when I was standing right there and was already training her.
  • If we are ever having a group conversation sometimes I catch him looking at me even though he's not addressing me. Other times we will address me but not look at me.
  • My colleague and I both had an issue with something which he helped us with. When he later saw us both he came over and specifically asked my colleague whether everything was all sorted, when I was standing right there.
  • Sometimes if he comes over to a few of us or a group of us he will stand right next to me, almost uncomfortably so but he will ignore me and act like I'm not there.
  • I changed departments recently and if he ever brought it up he would quickly say "oh is going to miss you!", he did this a few times with random colleagues who happened to be nearby.

He definitely fancies you

Is that what you wanted to hear ? Smile

Proven · 09/06/2021 22:19

So basically you want to know whether he fancies you or not?

Hmm

Lol cross post with Fucker

tessiegirl · 09/06/2021 22:21

Do you fancy him by any chance?!

Schoolchoicesucks · 09/06/2021 22:31

Didn't you post this before?

HarryDavidj · 09/06/2021 22:33

Is this a variation on the brother's friend one, where he does all the same stuff but round at her house?

Facelikeanose · 09/06/2021 22:58

What Hmm what do you work as that has all the time for this lollygagging. You sound a little obsessed with him.

NautaOcts · 09/06/2021 23:03

Ooh yes he DEFINITELY fancies you, if that’s what you’re asking like all your other threads

🎵🎶He loves you, he wants to kiss you 🎵🎶 😉

He's married has two children and another on the way but he and his wife have drifted apart and sleep in separate rooms, and are only pretending to be still a couple for the sake of the children.

He is madly in love with you.

He thinks you're Glenn Close.

Lan2020 · 10/06/2021 00:55

@onthedunes that made me chuckle!

Inevitably.

Why the need for all the snarky comments? MN is such a bitchy place at times.

It does sound like he may fancy you OP, but he needs to act professional and stop ignoring you. I’d ask him outright to be honest.

FaceMasked · 10/06/2021 06:47

Wow, I didn't expect such sarcastic responses. He definitely doesn't fancy me.

I just wanted some advice as he is now my manager and I'm finding it awkward and difficult to navigate. This is my first job after uni so I don't have much experience to go by. I'm not "obsessed", I have an appraisal coming up and I'm nervous that he dislikes me for some reason.

Well if you're just out of uni you will know how important communication is so why not just ask him rather than asking strangers?

Ladybug123 · 10/06/2021 06:56

Tbf facemasked your post does read like someone who wants confirmation that someone fancies you. I’ve reread it with your latest post in mind but you’re still alluding to him saying ‘you’re lovely’ or that he uses other peoples names to say he’ll miss you. It doesn’t feel like it’s about a professional issue with him not liking you.
