I met this guy at work and thought he was attractive bit didn't think much of it. A few weeks have passed and he's recently been assigned to assist me with a project. I'm not sure but thought there was something between us but then wasn't sure then thought again maybe there was but can't tell. I've continued to act normal and as if it's just work but was wondering if there were any signs that would allow me think that this isn't all in my head. I'm in a higher position than him and am a little older too. Sometimes I feel like he may be nervous around me them there's times when I feel like he's not. He's so hard to read. I appreciate any advice.

That’s the thing about us aquas we are very difficult to read. I get told that ALL the time and I’m not ever trying to be. I’m very cerebral and internalize most things (especially emotions). When I like really like someone I tend to act the complete opposite to not show how much I like them (pretty ridiculous I realize, but I’m very shy and sadly probably couldn’t even flirt my way out of a damp paper bag). I also tend to get very quiet when I’m around a person of interest because they make me so nervous that I have a hard time being my usual carefree self. I think what generally helps and what I also aim for is trying to get on a friend level with that person because us aquas LOVE being friends first…it’s a dream come true if we can be in love with our best friend.

I think if he does like you there’s also the added dimension of you being his superior that makes it somewhat complicated. I know when I’ve had crushes on my superiors in the past I would always try to rationalize away those feelings for the sake of having a normal interaction since the goal is to be professional at work. Since I spend a significant amount of my time working I do everything I can to keep it uncomplicated and drama-free. I think you are playing it right by just carrying on as your normally do. I hope everything works out well for you!

I normally don't date people I work with, but this person really work with me. He's just been assigned to assist me with a project once the project is done (2wks) he'll return to his normal duties. I work for a very large hospital so is extremely rare that we'll cross paths once this project is done which is why I'm curious, bc one this is done is be ok with possibly going on a date as it won't interfere with my career and there wouldn't be a conflict of interest. I did notice that after first meeting he did tend to email me more although it was work related and he asked stated if it's perfect to meet in person to review an item he'd understand. However the item he was referring to would not require us to meet plus we have virtual meeting applications, so really don't need to meet in person especially since we're in different bldgs. I responded stating this could be addressed via email and there was no need to meet. He's just very complicated to read and definitely don't want to show I'm interested when he may not be because due to my position within our organization. Once again I appreciate the advice.

I'm curious to know, what exactly made you feel that here is a connection between the two of you? I'm an aquarius man and going through something just like your situation, but on the flip side. Well this woman is in a leadership management role within our company. I have about two weeks left in the learning Environment, after that our paths won't cross most likely because of her role within our company. I'm going to tell you how I feel about this woman and what are the signal I to her and how I act around her.

I'm never instantly attracted to any woman, however the attraction I feel for this woman is undeniably strong and intense. She's around my height witch is weird to me because I favor short woman. Even with her height she is so feminine and sensual looking that I can't keep my eyes off of her. I try not to look like a creep so my eyes Tend to be shifty around her. My visual perception is keen and often pick up body language from her, but I often rationalize right out of the signs she may be giving me.
Like you, I also think there's an attraction on both of our parts, but often question it after. I know that she's a pisces woman and pisces are very visual people that pick up the most subtle body language and for an aquarius man we know this because we like to analyze human behavior. Aqua man knowing this would look nervous in trying to hide the feelings and body language he's giving off. Honestly if an aquarius man is interested in you, you most likely wouldn't know unless you befriend him, this is where he will shine. Aquarius man will first observe and analyzed in any environment.

I'm shy around her and often don't feel like myself witch is frustrating for me. I do give her signs though.
Now remember she is in a higher position than me.
The first move was from me, a non verbal one. She was telling me something and because of the small room our bodies we're
Really Close to each other and I gave her the most intense eye contact I had ever giving any woman, she never broke eye contact with me. All of our communication between one another is non verbal. I make sure she sees me looking in her direction
And want her to know she has my attention and that no one else is more captivating as her. We often stare at one another hoping to catch each others eyes. We both stay visible to each other. I find any and all reasons to be in close proximity to her and try to find excuses to touch her, on her back to say excuse me. Things of that nature.

Currently I'm looking for the opportunity to make small talk with her but that's a challenge as she's always talking to other people while she's looking at me. I'm not even sure if this was any insight, but I hope it works out for ya. ( befriend him )

It can work...

You didn't hear it from me though because 10/10 times it hasn't worked for me hahaha.
30% of workplace relationships end up in marriage. But by that time they're probably not still working together.

i can see that. How are they gonna get out there while they work alot?

so if it's a big company, co-ed, they're gonna find their mates.


I read and heard this about the miliatry too. Where co-ed men and women are , most of them SINGLE, and they go on this big ship to the middle east for months and maybe years. to stay there, and when they come back to the U.S., half the women on the ship are PREGNANT. lol

U.S. Navy commander admitted Thursday to accepting cash, prostitutes and other bribes in exchange for giving classified ship schedules to a Malaysian defense contractor at the center of a widespread Navy bribery scandal.

Cmdr. Michael Vannak Khem Misiewicz, 48, pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy and bribery. He is the eighth of nine defendants to plead guilty in the scandal.

In his plea agreement, Misiewicz admitted to providing classified Navy ship schedules and other sensitive information to Leonard Glenn Francis – aka “Fat Leonard” – who was the CEO of Singapore-based Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA).

The plea says Misiewicz used his position in the Navy to help GDMA get military contracts to provide husbanding services, like fuel, tugboats and trash removal, for Navy ships and submarines in various Pacific ports. With the inside information, Francis was able to overbill the U.S. government by more than $ 20 million.
