What to do after confirming your co-worker likes you

When you find out your co-worker likes you there are two possible ways you can handle the situation.

If you have no interest in him, you should mind the way you are with the person, do not act in ways that can lead the person into thinking you like them. Do not accept gifts or any kind of special treatment from him, knowing full well you have no intention to reciprocate. 

On the other hand, if you confirm your co-worker likes you and you are interested in him, then you should give him the green light, but bearing in mind that workplace romance can be difficult. 

Your relationship might lead to gossip from your colleagues and you will have by force office in-laws. 

How to take things to the next level

If your co-worker likes you and he is being slow about revealing his feelings. Then you can decide to take things to the next level by telling him you also like him, or you can reciprocate his flirting, there are no rules that say you have to wait for him to take things to the next level, you can also initiate things.

Also, you can try to give him the green light, be subtle and let him see that you are into him too. Don’t feel the need to change, you can keep on being around him but try to apply a little pressure so that he will get the message that you are also interested in him.

Is it wise to have an office romance?

Ideally having an office is not wise, because you have to bear in mind that if the relationship goes sour, you can’t leave your job. Or if it becomes so uncomfortable one of you may have to quit, also company policies may not allow for office romance to take place. 

There might even be a high chance that he is after a fling, and you might get your feelings hurt if you fall deeply in love with him. This might affect your job, darling. 

Work and personal life should be kept separate, you don’t want to see him every day at work and come back home to see him too. I don’t know about you but I won’t. 

Ways to say no to further advancement.

When You are not interested in your co-worker, you have to let him down in a kind and polite way. keeping in mind that you both have to work together, and being rude or mean can make things uncomfortable for both of you.

So here are a few ways you can politely say no to your co-worker advance 

“Would love for us to just remain professional”

“Don’t think it is a good idea to cross professional boundaries”

“Not interested in seeing anyone right now”

“A room for a new relationship, I don’t have because I love my boyfriend”

“Anything to ruin our friendship, I do not want”

“Your friendship is of too much value to lose”

How to know if he is ready to commit.
