She has exhibited a number of gestures triggering thoughts in you about the likelihood she likes you.

Whenever she sees you, she is energetic in how she greets you.

Conversations with her are engaging, as she has often asked about your weekend plans and given you hers.

Not to mention, she fiercely laughs at the jokes you crack and doesn’t seem to be concerned about standing physically close to you during these conversations.

She seems to be so happy when she sees you, as she is all smiles.

All of this has led you to wonder whether this new girl in the office likes you.

It’s not like you started off thinking this way.

Yes, you noticed she was a new face in the office and was beautiful.

But you didn’t suddenly go all out in a quest to get her to like you.

Everything that has occurred between you has happened organically.

She is the one who repeatedly initiates a smile, wave, or eye contact when she sees you.

It makes sense that you are curious about whether she likes you, given all of this behavior on her part.

That said, keep in mind she is a new girl in the office.

New people usually want to make fast friends in a new work environment.

With this intention, they go out of their way to befriend people at the office.

It’s vital you determine whether this is her intention.

Over the next few days, watch her behavior around other office workers.

Is she demonstrating the same behavior she has done with you?

Is she showing enthusiasm, initiating eye contact or greetings, getting physically close, asking about their plans for the weekend, revealing hers, etc.?

If you notice she is doing all the same things with them as she does with you, her intention is to make new friends in a new work environment.

It is to your benefit to take this exercise seriously so that you don’t spend weeks and months thinking she likes you and developing a deep emotional attachment to her as a result.

Should you eventually discover that she was only looking for fast friends, the emotional attachment you would have since established becomes an anvil around your neck, causing a deep and heart-wrenching sentiment of disappointment and loss.

This alone can affect your time at work.

Seeing her becomes a reminder of the weeks and months you spent thinking she liked you and how poorly it all ended.

So as not to be in this unenviable position, diligently observe how she behaves around other coworkers for a sustained period of time.

If she doesn’t exhibit the same behavior around them as she has with you, this is an encouraging sign.

That said, it doesn’t mean that you have confirmation and this interest is completely authentic.

Sometimes, people behave one way in an office and totally differently outside of it.

Will she show you the same warm and romantic behavior outside the office as she has done inside of it?

Inviting her to lunch or a happy hour gives her an opportunity to demonstrate similar behavior and elevate it.

This is where she establishes closer physical proximity to you and further elevates the sexual tension by adding flirtatious comments, as she tenderly touches you from time to time.

Such behavior is confirmation she likes you without question.
