Crush on coworker but I leave soon
I (21F) have somehow developed feelings for a coworker (30ishM?). I have been working at this place for almost a month, and my time at this location is almost over because it was a temporary position. I’m moving to another location soon, and I don’t think I’m ready to say goodbye to him yet. Maybe I like his attention or maybe I like him I’m not sure. I get easily attached… He’s been helping me with training quite a lot, and he’s so patient with me. He also has a great sense of humor. I recently found myself being hyper-aware of his presence aka I forget how to function like a normal human being or focus on my tasks.
There have been signs that he might be into me too but maybe I’m overanalyzing. He interacts this way with all the women at work, but I sense that he’s extra soft when talking to me. He lowers his voice and speaks more calmly to me? He could just be doing this because I’m way younger than him and I’m new to this type of work environment. The age gap doesn’t bother me too much though. I’m not exactly sure how he feels about it.
Is it weird if I ask for his insta on my last day? 😭 I hope he asks for mine actually because I don’t think I’m brave enough to initiate. With it being summer, I have a lot of free time on my hands now. I was hoping to maybe DM him after my time is over to ask if he’d like to get coffee with me or go on a walk sometime. Am I being creepy?? I get that I don’t know him that well or know anything about his personal life, and that’s what makes me scared it’s limerence. I might just be in love with the idea of who he is at work. Maybe who he actually is outside of work is completely different and unappealing to me. I just really want to get to know him better and spend more time with him if I’m being honest. I’m not sure how to explain this but he makes me feel safe and cared for at work? I deal with rude people quite a lot. However, he’s supported me in situations where I needed it. I know I’m probably being delusional though…
