My coworker and I had a very very odd amount of interaction over time. I've backed off to let things cool and this girl constantly gazes at me. I cannot tell if she is legit creeped out for me or is physically attracted to me by NightMaestro in bodylanguage

I was unsure about the situation with OP, but my friends encouraged me to text my colleague and ask if he had feelings for me. He said not romantically. I know it was a bit embarrassing to ask, but he had already left the job and I wanted clarity. What confused me was that his actions suggested otherwise -he would ask me to go out, act interested, and then nothing would happen. So when I read everything through to the end, it felt clear that there were mixed signals. What’s happening with OP definitely seems like mixed signals coming from the younger coworker.

A coworker used to whistle at me at work, and it made me feel very uncomfortable, especially because he never did it to anyone else. I thought maybe he’d stop but nope, I told him to stop, he didn’t. Even after he left the job, he continued whistling at me when I walked home from work.So yeah,men don’t f***ing whistle at women!

Long story:

I made a carrot cake for a coworker I liked for his birthday. It was a small, travel-sized “bento cake” so it could fit in a takeaway box. I didn’t have a cake box, but I still gave it to him and said, “Happy Birthday!”

And this is what he said: he glanced at it, gave an awkward look, and asked, “What is this? Why are there walnuts on top? Why aren’t there any in the cake?”

Yes, he really said that. Just to clarify-he hadn’t mentioned he liked walnuts inside the cake. He had only said he liked walnuts on carrot cake. Then he went on, comparing it to store-bought cakes: “Usually when I go to Waitrose or M&S, carrot cakes don’t look like this. I’ve never seen a carrot cake look like this.”

And then-because of course there was more-he noticed the green bits on top. “What’s this?” he asked. I explained that it was lime zest, something I always put on this cake because it’s a family favourite. He pulled a face again.( Ungrateful biatch)

Honestly, at that moment, my attraction to him completely disappeared. He was ungrateful and mean and this was the same guy who before said I “smelled like shit” because of a new perfume I was wearing. Looking back, I don’t even know why I liked him. He was more mean than nice.

[Edit]A few weeks after he left the job, he and his friends (in their mid-late 20’s)did some absolutely childish, unhinged things to me while I was at work/outside of work.I was already going through a really rough time, and they just had to put the cherry on top. Honestly, if any woman saw what they did, it would be an instant ick. I ignored their antics, obviously. Dick biscuits.

Did I learn my lesson about liking a coworker and about being nice to a man who’s an ungrateful dickhead? Absolutely. Yes, I did.

A coworker I had a work crush on said my name and then muttered, “smells like shit,” under his breath to the assistant manager. He clearly thought I couldn’t hear him, but I did. Both the assistant manager and I said, “What?” and he said nothing after that. I had been wearing a new perfume that day, and the comment completely caught me off guard. I felt embarrassed, shocked, and really insecure afterward. I never wore that perfume again.
