writes:Hey all! I share an office room with a colleague of mine. He joined our company in August, he is the son of one of the CEOs of the company. We didn't speak much during the first few weeks but once we started talking, we got along like a house on fire. He's friendly and talks to everyone but we talk to each other a bit more as we are in the same room.We share similar interests. He told me about his family, his friends, his life in school and college, his likes and dislikes. He has lived abroad and he's shown me some photographs of his life there. He brought his favorite car to work the other day, its customized and he took me to see it and he was so excited about it.He compliments me, is mean to me sometimes and teases me and is playful with me. Though he is mean to me sometimes (not mean with the intention to hurt, but a playful sort of mean if that makes sense?), he respects me and is always ready to help. He looks okay but he has an amazing personality. He always asks me what my plans are for the weekend and tells me about his. I've caught him staring at me a number of times and he always smiles when he's talking to me.One day he told me he's single. He did not ask me about my status (I'm single too) and I did not tell him. A couple of weeks later, he asked me if I met up with my boyfriend during the weekend and that's when I told him I don't have a boyfriend. That was just a few days before we went on our Christmas break. He hasn't asked for my number, hasn't added me on Facebook and neither has he asked me out yet. I don't know if he likes me or is just being friendly.I haven't met anyone before with whom I've clicked with so well. I feel happy when I'm with him. He isn't the partying or clubbing sort of person and neither am I. He is a couple of years elder to me and it is very nice to find someone who shares so many things in common with me. I have started to like him but I don't show it to him as i wouldn't want him to feel awkward around me (if he doesn't have feelings for me). But it is very difficult to go to work each day and see him, not knowing if he likes me or is just being friendly. We are on Christmas break right now and I don't know what to expect when we go back to work. If he asks me out, I'm going to be more than happy but if he doesn't or never does, any advice on how to deal with it? :(

It is never never Wise to mix work and pleasure. He seems very nice but as you stated he is much the same with the other girls in the office. It would be wiser to have only have a work relationship with him for the sake of staying in your job long term. It is very difficult to use your head when you fancy someone. But do try. Wishing you the very best of luck for the future. Nora B.

 It does sound like he likes you, he is flirting with you, asking what your plans are for the weekend, and fishing to see if you are attached or not, so yes its obvious he does like you.
Just be very careful when getting involved with co-workers, colleagues etc. While things can be all good at the start, if for some reason things did not work out between the pair of you then things can become very arkward having to see each other everyday, not just for the pair of you but for other co-workers also. If you really like him, and he like's you and you feel something is going to materialise between you then maybe one of you may have to consider a transfer, or find another job somewhere else.
Good luck
