What is signs a married male coworker likes you but is hiding it?

Okay, here's some information about signs a married male coworker likes you but is hiding it, in markdown format with the requested links:

  • Increased Attention & Favoritism: He may go out of his way to help you with tasks, offer advice you didn't ask for, or single you out for praise. This could be subtle, but noticeable compared to how he treats other colleagues.

  • Nervousness & Changes in Behavior: Look for signs of discomfort or awkwardness around you, such as fidgeting, avoiding eye contact at times (while maintaining it intensely at others), or a change in his usual demeanor. He might become more talkative or more reserved in your presence. This can be linked to Nervousness.

  • Body Language Clues: Pay attention to his nonverbal cues. Does he mirror your movements? Does he lean in when you speak? Does he find excuses to be physically close (even subtly)? Watch for lingering glances or prolonged eye contact. Body%20Language is a key indicator.

  • Personal Questions & Interest: He asks about your life outside of work, remembers details you've shared, and expresses genuine interest in your hobbies and interests. This goes beyond casual work conversation.

  • Jealousy or Protectiveness: He might show subtle signs of jealousy when you talk about other men or become overly protective if someone is critical of you. This can be very carefully masked.

  • "Accidental" Touches: While generally avoiding physical contact, he might initiate brief, seemingly accidental touches, such as brushing your arm or shoulder. These touches are often fleeting but can indicate underlying attraction.

  • Subtle Compliments: He offers compliments that are more personal than professional, focusing on your appearance or personality rather than your work skills. Look for compliments that are slightly veiled or double-edged. Compliments can be a good indication.

  • Overly Enthusiastic Agreement: He tends to agree with your opinions and ideas, even when they're not necessarily aligned with his own. This could be an attempt to create a connection or show that he's on your side.

  • Heightened Awareness of His Appearance: He may start paying more attention to his grooming and attire, especially when he knows he'll be seeing you. This is a common sign that someone is trying to impress you.
