Ok, let me start off with I am 24 and have never had a gf. I've always been shy, and being overweight most my life hasn't helped any. I lost a lot of weight, still got a bit to go, but I have gained a sliver of confidence lol bust still, despite help from a couple good friends, I still have trouble believing a girl would be interested in me. Anyways, now that that's out of the way, there is a certain female co-worker at work I've had a pretty big crush on for awhile. When she first started, our two different positions pretty much kept us from ever really being able to talk, despite working within close vicinity. She later got promoted to a position that I worked with, and I slowly started to talk to her here and there, which I was pretty proud of myself haha because normally I can never talk to girls I like. So that was about mid-December, and about mid-January I got promoted myself, still in the same dept but not really working with her anymore, I would just kind of walk through her area sometimes going from point A to point B. When I told her it was my last day at my old position, she actually looked kind of sad and said she'd miss me, which totally surprised me and made me very happy. So now with my new job, I talk to old "friends" that I used to always talk to, and I talk to her as much as I can, without distracting her from her work. So I usually talk to her maybe twice a week or so, and there are times when I'm walking by and she will wave or smile. Every time I get close to her or know I'm about to talk to her, my heart is pounding out of my chest.
So, I know a lot of you are probably like "get her facebook or number" or something, and I actually did try to look her up on facebook, and could only find her on some weird genealogy site, which brought me to my first concern, it said she was 30. I'm worried she would not be interested in dating someone 6 years younger than her. Also, she confused the hell outta me. One day I think she may actually like me, which is hard for me to do with my self-image problems, I usually just dismiss it as friendly coworker stuff, but sometimes I think it may actually be possible. Then the next day I'll go by and see her, and she's busy and doesn't really even look at me when she's talking, or will have her back to me. The other day I stopped to talk, and when I was passing by her, it was a tight space so she kinda put her hand on my arm as I passed, but then she kinda patted it and veeerry slightly squeezed it, but I definitely felt it. And today was probably the best day I've had in a long time. I timed it to be at her area as she was coming back from break, so I was talking to the guy breaking her, and as she came by she kinda brushed up against me, which that itself made my insides explode. So as she passed, I jokingly said "excuse you" and she said "oh I'm sorry did I bump into you" and she kinda grabbed me like in a half hug type thing and pushed me a little bit. needless to say I don't remember much of the rest of the workday haha.
So, sorry its long and may be hard to follow, I just kinda typed what came to mind. I just want to know, does all the touching lately mean she may like me? I know it means she doesn't hate me haha and is getting more comfortable around me, but I'm really afraid of pushing the coworker boundary and getting in trouble because she didn't mean it like that. I know I don't spend her whole shift with her (would be great though ) but I've never really seen her be touchy-feely with everyone, she seems like more of a quiet person, which may be why I like her.
