So I work at a restaurant and there’s this new coworker who’s honestly mad attractive. I’m not even the type to try anything at work, but she’s been giving me weird signals and I can’t lie,she’s got me kinda stuck.

Here’s what’s been going on: Before she even started working there, I was kinda flirting with another coworker. Nothing crazy, just playful. But I’m sure the new girl knows because I’m almost positive they talk. So I’m guessing she might already have an idea of how I move. One shift, she walked up to me out of nowhere and handed me plates and said “thank you, papi.” Caught me so off guard I didn’t even say anything back, just went back to what I was doing. That moment stuck with me tho, because it didn’t feel like just a regular comment. After that, I started giving her a little energy back. At one point she gave me plates and I hit her with “thank you, princess” in the same tone. She didn’t say much but touched my arm like she was trying to hear me better. That touch felt kinda intentional. She also started finding little ways to walk past me and stare, but I didn’t really say much. I’d just keep working and look at her sometimes but wasn’t really sure what to say. I playfully bumped into her once and accidentally did it a little too hard. She lowkey stumbled a bit. I felt bad but didn’t bring it up. Then like an hour later, we were play dancing across a table from each other (not seriously, just messing around), and she said “you funny” with no smile, just looked down at the ground when she said it. It felt like she was flustered but trying to play it off. Our convos have been chill since. Nothing deep, no flirting really. I haven’t even made her laugh much. I’ve mostly just been locked into work and haven’t tried to force anything, but it kinda feels like we both feel something. I just don’t know what she really thinks.

The thing is, I wouldn’t mind hooking up with her or even getting to know her more outside of work, but I don’t wanna make the job awkward or come off like I’m out here flirting with everyone.

So yeah—do y’all think I missed my window? Should I try to say something next time or just keep letting it play out?
