8 Must Know Signs Of Flirting At Work

When you’re working with other people, you naturally build relationships with them over time. These are people you literally see more than your family or partner. So, how can you not get to know them? Sometimes romance blooms in unexpected places, and understanding the signs of flirting at work can help you know if they’re just being friendly or want something more.

Sometimes getting to know your co-workers can turn into something more. Outside of the office, it can be easier to tell if someone is flirting with you. But at work, there are unspoken rules. One of them being not to flirt or date co-workers.

And I get the reason why those rules are in place, but at the same time, we’re only human. At work, people try hard to cover up their emotions and hide their feelings for co-workers they’re interested in.

# You feel it

What can I say, when it comes to intuition, follow it. Your gut may be wrong sometimes, but that’s very rare. If you have the feeling that your co-worker is flirting with you at work, then you’re probably right. Of course, the rest of these signs will help you come to a final decision. You may think, “but they’re married,” but listen, married people flirt as well.

# Small, minor touches

You can never tell if they touch you on purpose or if it’s an accident. Since they’re your co-worker, they’re not going to be obvious with their actions. They may touch your arm, brush by you, pat you on the shoulder. But they wouldn’t be touching you unless they’re trying to communicate with you.

# Their behavior changes when they’re around you

Your co-worker may not openly be flirting with you, but that doesn’t mean they’re not flirting with you. If they become more chatty, tell more jokes, or become nervous around you, it’s a sign that they’re interested in you. If their behavior changes right when they’re around you, that’s a sign.

# They’re always there

Whether it’s when you’re on a break or just walking around the office, it’s like they’re always there. Do you think that’s by chance? Not likely. If anything, they’re trying to line themselves up to bump into you or just see what you’re up to.

# They are eye contact heavy

Whether you’re at work or at the bar, eye contact is a great way to see if someone is interested in you. Eye contact is super flirty and in this case, is one of the indisputable signs of flirting at work. If someone is looking at you for longer than normal, giving you a smile – they’re flirting with you. But if they’re looking away from you, don’t be fooled; they’re not interested.

# They mention their weaknesses

This may sound a little strange, but not if you think about it for a second. Sure, it’s not the most desirable way to get someone’s attention, but it works. If they’re pointing out their weaknesses to raise awareness to your strengths, that’s a form of flirting.

# They are on your social media

Now, many of our co-workers are on our social media, so this isn’t a sign. But what is a sign is that they’re constantly liking everything you post. Maybe they’ll even make a comment as well. Social media is a great way to see if you’re on someone’s radar. If they take the time to check out your social media, it’s a sign.

# They’re excited to see you

Okay, they’re not jumping up and down in joy, but when they see you at work in the morning, you can see their eyes brighten with joy. Oh, they’re happy to see you, that’s for sure. If your co-worker shines like the sun when you talk, they like you.
