Does a coworker fancy me? we get on great and she always gives me abuse in a joking way ..we're very natural when we talk one v one..it's very strange she's a single mother and I bought her a little gift for easter for her daughter an easter egg and she was blown away but I would do that for anyone..I don't want to make a fool of myself either and ruin things

    It's fine to show some friendly gestures and bring small treats. When I do this, I'm sure to bring a little something for everyone, then it's not playing favorites or showing preferential treatment.

    They say it's better not to get your honey where you get your money. However, if you don't supervise each other ,don't work together closely, and it isn't against company policy to date another employee, who knows, it could work out. I suggest being friends first and seeing how that goes. Maybe you could get coffee or lunch one day and her reaction to that should tell you whether she is interested in anything more.

    Bien que ces signes puissent suggérer qu'elle a peut-être de l'affection pour vous, la meilleure approche est de continuer à construire votre amitié sans lui mettre de pression. Si vous êtes à l'aise, vous pourriez essayer de trouver des occasions de https://www.villeinitalia.fr/ passer plus de temps ensemble en dehors du travail ou d'exprimer vos sentiments plus ouvertement lorsque le moment vous convient. Prenez simplement les choses à un rythme qui vous semble naturel à tous les deux!

    Assuming that there are no company policies against dating a colleague, I’s suggest proceeding cautiously.

    1)See if you can spend lunch hours and/or coffee breaks (say 1 or 2 a week) with this colleague, no romance, you each pay for your own items.

    2)If lunch/coffee goes well over ~2 months, ask your colleague on a date in a way that allows her to refuse. Example: “Would you be open to letting me invite you out to a proper dinner, or would that be presumptuous on my part?”

    If she says Yes, you have a date.

    If she says Maybe or she’ll think about it, reply “Whenever you’re ready, I’d like that.”

    If she says No or Not Yet, but doesn’t seem upset, reply “No worries. But if you ever change your mind, it would be great if you could let me know.”

    If you receive an emphatic No or she seems worried or upset, say “No worries. I’m sorry I misread the situation and won’t worry you about this again.”
