Is this flirting?

[RedSugarMaple]

Two work colleagues who - I would say - have been noticed by others as being very close. Male said: "I'll save your experience for another time (wink & tongue out emoji)" Female responded: "You can have my experience anytime you want (wink & tongue out emoji)".

Why are you flirting at work?

I am not. Colleagues are. It is not forbidden at work to flirt. Maybe not recommended, but not illegal or misconduct.

Just get on with your work and stop being nosy! I always say “don’t shit where you eat”, but a) it’s none of your business, b) it’s not going to affect you c) yes, they are being unprofessional and d) why do you care anyway? 😂

I am not being nosy. I was asked for advice. I am friends with both. That is all. It's amazing how some have read much more into this.

What a very bizarre post!!

Of course you’re being nosy. What normal person registers that two colleagues are standing ‘15 to 18 inches apart’ when talking?

As I said in one of my first posts, one of the two concerned shared this information. I am out now.

Yeah that’s an innuendo… not appropriate at all

Including the precise number of inches apart they were standing?

Surely you know what flirting looks like

Let them get on with it not hurting anyone.
Or do you feel it should be you in her place?

Are you jealous? Do you fancy one of these people?

Very well spotted miss marple now less of that and more work focus. Thank you for the attention

Yes, both are flirting on equal terms it seems.

Maybe OP is just bored at work and these flirtations are making the day entertaining 😂

I think the OP is ND and is trying to make sense of the behaviours. I have a friend at work who often asks me similar questions and wants me to explain people's interactions to her.

Advice about what? Do you fancy one of them and want everyone to say "no they're not flirting ' so you feel better and still in with a chance?

One of them is you, I think. You want to know if he's merely flirting with you for fun or we consider and advise that he'd be happy to develop things with you.

Isn't it interesting how AI keeps trying and failing to learn human emotions and nuances? 😂

Some people don't.

Some people actually take it as people being sarcastic.
