You already know that you are attracted to your coworker.

This has been evident to you for a while.

Since then, you have purposely been looking for hints that he is single and interested in you too.

This is where you make yourself vulnerable to drawing the wrong conclusions, based on how you feel about him.

In doing so, you look at anything and everything he does with a keen eye, instantly assuming that your coworker is throwing out hints that he is single and interested in you at a whim.

You have a solemn task right now.

That task is to keep yourself from being delusional about how your coworker feels about you.

This being said, there are telltale signs that your coworker is throwing out hints that he is single and interested in you.

This is when he is constantly moving about your work station or office and constantly looking in your direction as he does.

In these moments, he is using any excuse to get up from his desk and walk across your work station or office, whether it be to go to the bathroom, storeroom, water fountain, breakroom, etc.

He is getting up from his desk and moving about far too frequently than anyone else, and you have caught him looking in your direction multiple times as he has done so.

He is throwing out hints that he is single and interested in you.

Furthermore, a coworker that is persistently bringing goodies to work and is only giving you those goodies, is setting you apart from everyone else.

Whether it be candy or snacks, he is regularly offering you some of these without any prompting from you.

Although he is being generous when he does this, there are additional motives.

He wants to have an excuse to make you feel good by offering you a candy or snack, and an excuse to get you to talk to him.

It is much easier to get you to talk to him and be in a good mood over a delicious candy or snack that he has offered you, and you are consuming, than to arbitrarily bring up a topic of conversation without said goodies.

He is throwing out hints that he is single and interested in you when he is consistently covering for you at work, offering to take up some of your workload, or volunteering to come in to work on his day off to cover for you when you need time off.

He is intending to score brownie points with you in doing this, believing that this makes you lean on him for his support, which gets him to earn your trust.

He does all of this exclusively for you and no one else.

All of these are hints that he is throwing at you, having singled you out as the one person he regards as special.

Now for the caveats.

Remember when I talked about being delusional earlier on?

When you are interested in a guy, it’s natural to misinterpret his behavior as a sign that he is interested in you too.

Don’t commit this blunder.

As a rule of thumb, never assume that a kind act he did for you is a sign that he is interested in you, until you have confirmed that he didn’t do the same for anyone else at work.

For example, he brings you a cup of coffee and you instantly assume that he is throwing hints at you that he is single and interested in you.

When in reality, he was feeling generous that day and brought a cup of coffee for everyone else in the office.

On a different day, he compliments your outfit a few times, and you immediately assume that he is throwing hints at you that he is interested.

When in fact, he complimented several of his coworkers on their outfits that day.

Confirm, confirm, confirm.

He is throwing out hints that he is single and interested in you when he exhibits consistent acts of kindness towards you, and only you.
