It's understandable that you would have a crush on one of your coworkers.It can be fun to flirt in the workplace, but it can also be risky.You can flirt with him using your body language.To draw his attention, try to create the perfect look, show off your personality, and compliment him.Make sure you follow all of your workplace's rules and boundaries so you don't tarnish your professional reputation.
Step 1: Make eye contact.
An instant connection can be created by looking directly into someone's eyes.If you make eye contact, hold it for 1-2 seconds to make him notice it.Then, smile and look away.It is easy to flirt without being obvious.Don't stare into his eyes for more than a few seconds.He might feel uncomfortable if he didn't have that option.Ask him a generic work question if he asks if you need something.You could ask, "Did you get my email?" or "Do you know if the printer is fixed?"
Step 2: There is a smile.
The easiest way to flirt with someone is with a smile.Give him a smile whenever he looks at you.Fix a smile on your face when he is in the room.A toothy grin makes you seem like you're having a good time, while a smile that isn't all that funny.
Step 3: Have a good time.
A wink will let him know that you're interested in him.If the situation becomes awkward you can explain it away.Wait until you feel confident that no one is looking at you.As you pass each other, wink at him.A slow wink is more flirtatious than a quick one.It's easy to explain away if you start with a quick wink.You could say, "I think I have something in my eye."I'm going to look in the mirror.
Step 4: You can break the touch barrier by brushing against him.
Touching a coworker can be tricky, but it takes flirting to the next level.Play it safe by brushing past him.If it gets weird, you can play it off as an accident.It's possible that you bumped against him while you were passing him in the hallway.Say something like, "We can't keep meeting like this" or "Sorry about that!"
Step 5: You can talk to him while touching his arm.
You should be able to get away with it in the workplace.You should lightly touch his arm while you're talking to him.It's best to make quick, gentle touches that don't last very long.If he pulls away or looks uncomfortable, stop touching him.Say something like, "Sorry about that" instead of creating a distance between you.I'm focused on this project.
Step 6: Walking slowly and accentuating your movements will make you feel more sexy.
Sex appeal can be cultivated in the workplace without being obvious.Slowing down makes it more eye-catching.When he may be watching you, move slowly and make your movements bigger.This will get him to stare at you and allow you to flirt with him.Don't walk across the room if you are by his desk.
Step 7: Dress nicely.
You want to look your best when you're trying to get a guy's attention.It's important that you stay in dress code at all times so you don't compromise your career.Professional outfits that make you look and feel your best will impress your boss.If you're a woman, you might wear a pencil skirt with a silk blouse or a pair of fitted slacks.If you're a man, you can wear a tailored blazer or a unique tie.
Step 8: He can help you with an issue.
Getting help from someone is a classic flirting maneuver that is easy to ignore.invite him to work on a project with you if you're able to collaborate at work.Ask for his opinion about something.You can talk to him while keeping it professional."Hey, can you help me with this client pitch?"Do you have the time to work with me on this project?
Step 9: Asking questions will help you learn more about him.
You can learn more about him when you work with him.Look for a wedding ring, check his workplace for photos of a partner, and work in questions about his personal life.He doesn't know you're fishing for information if you ask 1-2 questions at a time.You can say, "You know what, I can come back tomorrow" if you talk to him before he gets off work.I don't want you to be late for dinner.
Step 10: Mentioning your hobbies and interests will show off your personality.
It can get his attention if he talks about himself.When you have the chance, briefly mention the most interesting things about yourself.It seems innocent if you relate it to your work.Let's say you have a lot of work this week.You might say, "I won 1st place in a marathon last year, so I'm used to going all the way." If you're allowed to display personal photos in your work area, include pictures that show you enjoying your favorite activities.A picture of you working on a painting, hiking, and reading at the beach could be included.
Step 11: Try to make him laugh.
It is easy to use humor in the workplace.Practice your funniest life stories so that you can impress your crush with them, or learn a few corny jokes from the Internet.You could even send him something related to the work you do.Have you been to the new restaurant called Karma?You get what you deserve, there's no menu.He wanted to make a clean escape.The space bar.
Step 12: Applause.
To test the waters, start with professional praise.Try to compliment something about his looks if he seems receptive.You don't want to come on too strong.Start with a compliment like, "That was a great presentation," or "I'm always happy when I get to work with you because you're so dedicated." If he seems uncomfortable, brush off the compliment.Maybe you will say, "I'm trying this new thing where I pay it forward with flattery, but maybe I'll try buying someone a coffee next time."
Step 13: If he seems receptive, send a carefully worded text or email.
Sending flirtatious messages is an easy way to make your feelings known.It leaves a record of your flirtations so it can be risky at work.It's easy to misinterpret a text.If you think they'll be well-received, you can send him flirtatious texts.You might text him after you pass him in the hallway.Let's say he sent you an email asking for a meeting later in the day.You might say, "Oh, I'd never miss an opportunity to see you."
Step 14: Check your workplace's policies.
Some places allow employees to date, while others don't.You don't want to land yourself in trouble if you know where your workplace is.You can learn about the policies by reading the employee handbook.If you have a question, talk to your HR rep.It's possible to be wrong.Make sure you know all of the rules if dating is allowed.You can't date your supervisor if you have a relationship with him.
Step 15: Don't flirt with people you supervise.
This is problematic for many reasons.Most companies don't allow supervisors to date people under them, so this will put someone's career in jeopardy.It could cause rumors that you're trying to advance your career or you could be accused of sexual harassment.Leave your supervisors and direct-reports alone.If you really want to date them, apply for a transfer so that you won't be directly under them anymore.Keep things professional until then.
Step 16: Your coworker's boundaries should be respected.
It's possible that your coworker will enjoy flirting with you.It's possible that he doesn't want an office relationship.When you interact with him in the future, give him his space and stick to workplace talk.Don't stop talking to him or completely avoid him.It can make the situation uncomfortable and hurt your relationship.
Step 17: Don't touch your coworker's arm.
It's not always appropriate to touch in the workplace.Don't touch his back, shoulders, legs, or anything else while trying to flirt.This can lead to a harassment complaint.It's okay to touch him more if you start dating him.Public displays of affection in the workplace should be kept to a minimum.
Step 18: Sex or suggestive comments should not be used.
Being suggestive is not a good way to flirt at work.If you want this guy's attention, don't risk your career.Don't flirt in a flirtatious way.If you start dating, it's okay to get a little naughty.Don't discuss sex at work.
Step 19: You should not say anything in a text, email, or social media post.
If you have a record of your flirtatious behavior, you are more likely to be in trouble.You don't want your coworkers to read your messages at work.Don't mess it up over a guy because your career is important.Don't hit send if you're not sure.
