    There is a woman at work that I really like. Like... a lot. I have no idea if she is straight,gay, bi or what. I have liked her for years and can't stop thinking about her. I haven't come out properly myself. I have only just started telling a select few members of my family. How do I go about finding out if she feels the same without damaging our friendship. There are times when I think she feels the same. She will brush her hand along my back as she walks past me, or will hold my hips as she moves past me. And when we walk somewhere together she walks right next to me so that our arms are touching.

    help!!! :bang:

    Im not the best with advice but maybe you should ask her to hangout outside of the work environment and see how she acts around you.. you can also ask her if she has a boyfriend or what her relationship status is and maybe you will get some answers that way.. I always just go with my gut feeling and test out the waters.. If I wasn't sure if someone liked me I would wait and see if they initiate the flirting without me prompting it.. if they do then in most cases there is an attraction... I hope this helps!

    hahhahaah I know its all confusing sometimes!!! but if you go outside of the work environment people act differently and there probably will be more defined interactions between the two of you.. just a change in the environment can tell a lot about a person!

    It sounds from the way you wrote your post that you don't believe she is ill, is that right?

    At first I felt like I didn't believe her... I guess I was just disappointed. But after speaking to her today I feel guilty for not believing her. I was looking forward to spending time with her and got it in my head she was making excuses. I don't have much self confidence.

    That's understandable. Hopefully you can rearrange the get together some other time.

    Ask her what she thinks about marriage equality. That's a good way to gauge her thoughts.
