Signs that a colleague likes you

Have you walked into your office and noticed someone looking at you smiling and it gets consistent for a long time? At the back of your head, you know too well that this behavior isn't normal among colleagues. Could it be that they are actually eyeing you? Read on to know whether your colleague is trying to charm you

Do they notice the small changes about you?

Last week, you had a short hair and this week you've donned longer and wavy hair with a brighter coat. As you walk in, you hear someone compliment you, citing the difference between your last week's look and this one. It almost feels as if someone is stalking you as they keep track of your changes. This is a clear indication that your colleague is concerned about you and is paying a lot of attention to you.

Do they asks about your day when you're not working?

You'll realize that this colleague wants to chit chat about how your day and night are when you're not at work. They seem to want more intimate details about your life, seeking to connect with you on that other side. When someone from work begins to extend their interest beyond the board meetings and company projections, high chances are they are smitten by you.

They like sitting next to you during meetings?

There are those unsaid places where people sit when in meetings. If you have no designated seat, you'll realize that every time you're in a meeting, your smitten colleague wants to sit close to you. This gives them an opportunity to interact with you more and feel as if they are closer to you. It may even be their signal for you to notice them.

Do they smile at you often?

Remember the grinning smile that may even leave you feeling awkward (especially if it's unexpected)? You can easily spot a colleague who likes you by counting the number of times they smile at you. You guessed it, countless times! Every angle you turn, you're most likely going to spot them looking at you and smiling at you.

Asks you out for lunches?

It is only a matter of time before that colleague gets confidence to greet you and ask you out. To begin with, they mostly opt to ask you on a lunch date so as to spend the midday break with you. It's also safer than a dinner because you're unaware of someone's off-work schedule. So if you find yourself being asked out to lunch, there you have it.

The 'accidental' brush or touch

It could be during movement or when handing you some documents. Often deliberate, the colleague may give a flirtatious brush or touch. Be sure to distinguish this from any harassment though.

Some of the tell-tale signs of a colleague liking you are obvious. Like a cough, it's hard to hide that you like someone.
