Shoulder rubs from colleague

[Bellalalalala]

My male colleague keeps randomly rubbing my shoulders. Last week I was sitting eating my lunch (I'd had a stressful morning) and he came up behind me and gave me a full on shoulder rub. This is probably the 3rd or 4th time that's happened since January. On other occasions he's squeezed my shoulder and rubbed it when saying thanks for something or mid conversation. I don't really mind it (in fact quite like it) but it's not really normal is it? We're quite good friends outside of work but could he maybe like me more than that?

Yeah it's strange to do in the workplace. Definitely just wants to touch you. Does he do it to other people or just you?

He fancies you. People will have noticed. It’s unprofessional.
Either ask him out and keep it out of the workplace or tell him to back off and stop doing it.

It’s not appropriate, and I think you need to be mindful that even if you like it, your colleagues might not.

The office is not a place to pick up/have sexual tension. People are fully aware that colleagues will become close/potentially have relationships, but you need to play by the rules during work hours.

Just me as far as I'm aware

Ewwwwww. This is such creepy and odd behaviour. If he likes you why not just ask you out??

I don’t mean this in a rude way, but do you have low self-esteem OP? Are you letting the warm glow of getting attention cloud your judgement slightly? Because most people would find this behaviour very odd and off-putting.
