8 Subtle Signs That a Female Coworker Likes You

Workplace interactions that send out mixed signals are common. You may be left wondering whether your relationship with a coworker is strictly professional, bordering on friendship or something more. “Does my female coworker like me?” This is a common dilemma many men face when deciding whether or not to make a move on someone they work with.

Truth be told, a majority of workplace affairs are initiated by women. Men, being more practical, focus on their work and give less importance to building relationships in the workplace unless it’s about going out for drinks. Women tend to form personal relationships in the professional sphere, and because of this, feelings crop up. Something is bound to happen when your work friend becomes your work wife.

# She smiles whenever she sees you

A female coworker’s body language when she likes you is where you should start looking for these subtle signs. Here too, her smile is usually the first giveaway. You must observe whether she smiles at everyone or if it is just at you. Even if she is friendly and smiles at every man she talks to, there are ways you can tell whether there is something special in the way her lips curve for you.

# Your female coworker likes you if she finds ways to be around you

Be it for some help that she needs or sharing the hottest office gossip, she always finds reasons to be around you. Wherever you go, you somehow run into her. If these run-ins happen more often than not, you can be sure that these are no coincidences.

We received a story of how this girl always asked her office mate to help her with some tech stuff on her phone. Later, she confessed to him that she had been doing that to catch his attention. They are happily married now. When you find a female coworker doing something similar, it is absolutely one of the subtle signs she likes you.

# There are too many accidental touches

Let’s circle back to the topic of a female coworker’s body language when she likes you because women express as much through their gestures and expressions as they do with their words. So, pay attention. Your female coworker’s body language will change in line with her feelings for you. Some of the most prominent signs a female coworker likes you can be decoded by noticing her body language.

You may find her hand ‘accidentally’ touching yours or she may brush her body against yours, making it look like an accident. If there is enough space for you two to go past each other, then there is no need for all these ‘accidents’ to take place. The only explanation for accidents is that she wants them to happen.

# You catch her looking at you

Not sure if a female coworker likes you? Looking for signs your female coworker has feelings for you? Train to look from the corner of your eye. You will see her looking at you from a distance but she will suddenly pull her gaze away when she realizes you’ve noticed.

You may have been ignoring this frequent pair of eyes on you. Or you may have noticed her looking in your direction often, and wondered, “My female coworker stares at me, what does it mean?” If you’re interested in her too, start making a mental note of how often you find her looking when she thinks no one is noticing.

# She flirts with you

Office coworkers often indulge in some light-hearted flirting. More often than not, it is just a way to blow off some steam. But sometimes the person engaging in this innocuous banter may really be into you. If the way she flirts with you crosses the harmless flirting realm and begins to seem more loaded, it is among the signs your female coworker has feelings for you.

She may notice the little things about you and often pay you compliments. Your shirt or your new pair of sunglasses, nothing escapes her eye. In a clear sense, your colleague has been lightly flirting with you.

# She remembers things about you

You may have mentioned your likes and dislikes to her, casually, at some point. But she makes a mental note of it. So when you’re hanging out together, she orders your favorite snack or go-to drink, without even having to ask you about it. It may leave you astounded, but that’s just what women do when they really care about someone.

# She always talks about hanging out ‘together’

Another surefire indication that a female coworker likes you is her persistent interest in hanging out with you. She will ask you whether you want to get a drink over the weekend or if you want to grab a coffee after work. When you do hang out, she may bring up date ideas or suggest more stuff that you both can do together. She may tell you about the new coffee shop she wants to explore with you or the new retail store that has opened up.
