Little background. Im male, forty... ish, married. In where I work, I see many people per day but they are the same people. There is a woman that is forty...ish as well, married, that I have seen and worked with for several years now. I tended to pay extra attention to her over the years. In other words, Id "just drop by to see if all was ok" and if not I would do the work I needed to do. If all was ok, Id sit and chat for a few min with her, then be on my way.
She was "easy on the eyes" and was friendly so I did enjoy conversation with her. Strictly platonic though. never suggestive or anything....well....maybe a compliment on her hair every now and again. I always got a big smile from her though and I always was smiling big when I saw her.
Dont get me wrong though, there is not an issue with my marriage. Its solid. hers is solid as well best that I know. All the signs point to that.
It seems though that she may like me in a certain way. One time, we were in a training class together. I sat with other people so as not to invade her space. I could not keep from looking at her though since she did look good, and im a guy after all, but she kept looking at me as well. Id keep catching her in a look. This was several years ago.
Now, for the past two years, my work has changed so as I do not visit people face to face. I have no real reason to contact her or her to contact me, however, she has contacted me to fix an issue with her job that others could have fixed. We touch base a few times a year via email or I might "drop by" and visit her work site. We only talk about regular chit chat, how are the kids, we did this, did that, just general safe stuff. Still, the way she looks at me and makes time for me and the way she "enjoys" us talking has me wondering. it always has. Is she really "into" me or is she just overly friendly and she is this way with every guy?
the only reason I want to know is Id like to decide whether I should consider myself as still cool or a middle aged man that goes idiot when any woman is friendly to me.
Any thoughts?
