A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Can you be over friendly with a work colleague? After kissing her on her neck/shoulder, she came back with kisses on the cheek. When asked what she was doing, she blow a kiss back. Calls me stupid names like baby boy, lover, - makes stupid comments. Most times have awkward hugs- made a remark at the way we were hugging, on the flip side, we do fight a lot, she annoys me - i probably annoy her, very sensitive about anything i say, most likely backstabs me- not too sure. Sometime i think she hates me, but then comes the hugs+holding of hands...

I hope you're not taken. If I were your girlfriend I would dump you because you don't deserve to be happy... flirting with some cheap, desperate woman at work. End this disaster or come clean to your girlfriend.

Honeypie agony auntSounds like a really inappropriate work environment. Who goes around kissing co-workers (regardless of where) ? Seriously?

Sounds more like a 5th grade class room than a work place and honestly... if I was your boss or co-worker I'd suggest you BOTH dial it down and focus on your jobs.

aunt honesty agony auntYou are not meant to kiss a work colleague! It sounds like more is going on here, if the hugs are awkward I wonder why the kisses on the neck and shoulder are not awkward? I would cringe if a friend done this to me. There is a fine line between love and hate, so maybe that is why you annoy each other so much. Are you both single? Is it someone you would like to be with? If yes then tell her you would like to take her out and see what happens. Good luck.

Andie's Thoughts agony auntWait, do you do this at work? Whether you do or not, yes; you can be over-friendly with a colleague and you're being unprofessional. I'd back off or this could be a sexual harassment suit waiting to happen.

A male reader, DarrellG United Kingdom +, writes (1 July 2016):

DarrellG agony auntRight there is nothing here that suggests she hates you. I think you have major jangling insecurities there. Shes being affectionate with you, albeit sometimes in what appears to be a childish manner. Sounds to me like she likes you and you like her from what you have written here - after all, why be insecure about something that doesnt matter.

This is beyond being friendly in my eyes and if the attention was unwanted it would be dubious in the extreme. Having said that its clearly mutual and reciprocal. In terms of where you go from here. I think maybe you should try going out for a drink sometime, socially, after-work or doing something else like bowling and see where it goes from there. Good luck.
