A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hello. Completely clueless newly single woman here. Please help! I have a situation where I like a guy who is nephew to a woman I work with. I am good friends with their whole family and hang out with them pretty often. He is 5 years older than me and I like him a lot! I am getting some serious mixed signals tho. When we are together it is usually around his family so I'm not expecting him to just start making out with me. His family jokes around and tease us about having a thing for each other. Last Friday I saw him at his aunts house and of course there were about 15 other people there so it was hard to get by him. But he has a way of confusing me beyond belief! For instance some times he pays attention to me and seems to watch what I am doing then other times he seems to care less where I am in the room. I try not to pay too much attention to him either because I don't want to make it obvious to everyone that I like him. Then when he is across the crowded room from me he seems to catch my eye and we hold it for a good 5 seconds. Which I hear is a good sign that someone likes you. I just wonder why if he likes me why he hasn't made it really obvious or why his aunts haven't said anything. I have noticed that his aunt brings his name up a lot at work lately. And when a man that I am not interested in asked me out at work I told him I had a bf as a way to avoid him and she was telling me that I should think of a fake name for my fake bf and I was like how bout(random name)and she was like what about mark which is her nephews name. And then she just grinned. So I want to kno if she knows somethin I don't and why she wouldn't say something. she does know that I am just getting over my ex of 4 years and maybe that is keeping her from rushing anything but It just seems like he is getting invited to a lot more things that we do lately. It is just driving me crazy. Does he like me? What signs should I look out for? Thanks for reading!!

All those stories point to that direction.

Are you interested in him ?

Then you need to give him the come hither signals.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

So here is new info. I was at work with his aunt today and I was telling her about this cute guy that came into the bank while she was off and she pretty much just shrugged it off and went straight into a story about how she was talking to her nephew (the one I like)for like an hour on the phone and she mentioned that they were talking about me a little bit about random things. So I was like okay that's a good sign. And she also said that he was upset that we all weren't getting together this weekend. She didn't say anything about him liking me though. Then she said that she was annoyed because he asked if he could bring his friend amanda to easter dinner. And she made sure to say that she didn't think that they were dating and she said that everyone in the family hated her because they used to date and she would always chest on him and that she lives about 2 hours away. Why would she being him up again? Snd why is she telling me about this girl? So confused! Please help.

Of course he likes you. Just be patient. you need to get him alone for whatecer reason, he's unlikely to make a move whilst aunties around. 5 years is a healthy age difference. perhaps he's too worried what auntie might say.

Good luck

Laura1318 agony auntHe has got the latent interest in you but he is unsure about your part, could be your stand offish attitude which gives him the wrong signals.

He fears moving too fast and he is trying to read your signals.

Is it red or green light from you?

You need to show some interest in him to encourage him to come out of his shell.
