When you are at work, you may not, and probably should not, be thinking about signs of attraction. However, there may come a moment when you suspect a woman you work with likes you more than just as a coworker. It can be tough to pick up on this since she is trying to not make it obvious. While most guys may not be the hottest around, subtle insecurities leave them wondering if a girl is really into them. Men don’t want to be publicly rejected. It’s helpful to know some of the signs that she is really attracted to you so you don’t come off like you are sexual harassing her when you make your move.
Signs a Female Coworker Likes You
She finds reasons to touch you
Since you are at work, be careful with this one but generally if a woman seems like she is going out of her way to touch you, it’s a sign she’s attracted to you. If you are walking through an area where she has plenty of room to pass and she still grazes your back with her hand, then it may mean more.
She remembers random information you shared with her
Perhaps you two went to coffee recently and the next time, she remembers your order easily and gives you a little smile to make sure you caught the sign. When a girl is into you, she will not only remember little details but she will want you to know she knows.
She makes eye contact with you frequently
As you pass each other on the way to the water cooler or the boardroom, she glances at you and her eye contact lingers just a little longer than normal. This can be one of the many signs a female coworker likes you. If you also like her, then give her a smile to show that you notice her.
She makes private jokes with you
In conversations, she may show interest by trying to develop private jokes with you. You can notice this because she may bring them up at a later time. Perhaps you even find yourself wanting to create moments that only the two of you can appreciate. If she responds to this with pleasure, she very well may like you more than coworkers.
She seems to be around your area more often
When she talks to you, she is happy and cheerful. Even though your department sits on a different floor, somehow she finds an excuse to pass by. You may only notice her walking near your desk at first. If she is really excited and wants you to notice her, she will also make an effort to stop and chat more than normal.
She starts to share personal stories with you
Maybe it starts with a funny story from her weekend, or perhaps she even mentions plans she comes up. Either way, if she is talking about her life outside of work, it’s a good sign. When a girl is into you, she wants you to know more about her, so she will make an effort to tell you non-work related things about herself.
She compliments you appropriately
Obviously, there’s a line that can be crossed with this act and you should be cautious of the difference between appropriate and sexual harassment. However, if you are into it and she’s saying all the right things, then this is definitely one of the signs a female coworker likes you! Maybe she tells you she likes your new haircut or how the color of the shirt really brings out your eyes. Try and notice these quick compliments especially if they happen more frequently.
She asks for your help
Even if you work in another department or have different responsibilities than her, you may find she calls on you for advice or help a lot. She’s seeking closeness with you and wants to build experiences together. Since she has work stuff as an excuse, she’ll use it to her advantage. Maybe you two even have a private meeting about an important call she has coming up.
She invites you to social events outside of work
When a girl really likes you, she will likely attempt to move the interactions out of the office. Your female coworker may invite you to a house party or some kind of social gathering to test the waters. Ultimately, if you show her you like her too, she may try to ask you to hang out one on one outside of work. Either way, go for it!
You hear from other coworkers that she likes you
Rumors and gossips are spread quite easily around a social work environment; however, if you are hearing the same sort of story that matches your suspicions, it very well may be true. Other people at work will definitely notice if she flirts with you or if there is clear chemistry. Since you are at work, everyone is alert to what’s going around and looking for excuses to procrastinate. That means you have a lot of eyes to help you pick up on the signs a female coworker likes you.
She has a sparkle in her eye
When you see her and she sees you, she illuminates and beams with happiness. This is a good sign! Being around you makes her feel happy and excited, and it will be easy to see this from your perspective. She may even tell you, “You made my day,” or something to clearly show you that you helped cheer her up after a bad meeting. Whatever the situation, her eyes will surely show her interest in you.
She asks you personal questions
The girl crushing on you will want to know more about you. If you like her too, then don’t hesitate to open up and share your life with her a bit. She will ask you personal questions that go deeper than, “How was your weekend?” Maybe she wants to know about your family or your favorite sports, which is key for her to better understand her own feelings. Definitely positive signs for you.
