I've had my new job for 3 months now. From the first day I started he introduced himself right away, he has always been exstreamly kind and polite to me, and he is the same way with some employees, but when we're alone, he seems to come towards a loss of words. The few conversations we did have we're about our passions and after they were over he seemed flushed and began to mutter stuff under his breath when I walked away. Later when as customer complimented my looks and attitude, he agreed and smiled and called me very beautiful and warm. Whenever we make eye contact he smiles. He's always helpful and sweet to me. He's not into full on flirting at work, he's very respectful and professional, but he's still been giving me the looks and work-related compliments. He's very polite. And he's slowly becoming more compfertable talking to him. He's fairly protective of me, he jumped another coworker's case for speaking vulgarities around me. The only time he gets stern regarding somthing.Today he tried to talk to me, but I think I made him nervous. When we had to find some papers today, he asked me to find them, I did, but another coworker asked him why he was looking at him and not me, the coworker paused and said "oh I know why" and my manager hushed him and gave him a dirty look. He's hard to read, I know that making eye contact is a sign as well as him being lenient and the fact he's always happy to see me. Today when an older coustomer I was helping started flirting, he watched the scenario and quickly made me do something else. He commented that he thought the coustomer looked depressed he took me away (in a joking but smug since, he was watching this guy flirt with me and got me away from him) and that he was kind of an old creep. What I want to know is what's up? Does this guy have a crush on me or what? He is a polite person, but I find he almost babies me and then complements everything I do. I came in with a friend he asked if he was my boyfriend, and my friend also thinks he's infatuated with me. I really like him. He's not a typical pig or flirt. Am I completely misunderstanding his signals? What should I watch for? Does anyone see the situation different? I adore the guy, I'm. Thinking of asking my coworkers about the situation, because I feel like the know things I don't.
