So I really like this guy at work. We always jokingly flirt and are always around each other to just touch each other. Like lean on one another. Occasionally hug and hold hands. Everyone thinks we’re joking or just being friendly.

He’s so tall and he always leans on my head when he’s hugging me. Or sometimes he’ll come behind me and hug me and put his chin on my head. It’s those little things that he does that I just adore.

I want to tell him I like him but I’m scared that he doesn’t feel that way. Cause I feel like he does like me, because there’s times when he’ll talk to me and his face would get red or the things he would say.

He’s 19, a freshman at college and I’m 17, a senior at high school. Our age difference may be frowned upon, but I wouldn’t want date him because we work together. Although I like him and being around him, it’s just that I would feel annoyed after a while. Because I would feel pressured to look nice at work and stuff. There’s so many other factors. I really like him and I wouldn’t want any drama with us at work so I would be willing to find another job that pays more.

I also feel like he still likes this girl that she totally treated him like shit. He always asked her to hang out and she would find excuses not to see him. She led him on. He said he still occasionally talks to her. And there’s this other girl at work that has a boyfriend but before she had a boyfriend, he had a huge crush on her. And so did she, but he never asked her out. Until this other guy from work did. And she’s always talking about how she thinks he still likes her and stuff and how she still has feelings for him. But it’s so dumb because she has a boyfriend already. But the guy I like always brings her up at least once, every time we work together and it annoys me.

So honestly I don’t even know if it’s worth it. But I just know that if we do end up dating I feel like it would work really well between us because he’s truly really sweet and caring. But I don’t know. Whenever it comes to guys, I always have terrible luck with them.

Should I just not tell him and just move on or should I give it a try?

UPDATE:

today we we’re just chilling at work and t was reaaaaaaally slow and like he leaned by me. And I just wrapped my hand around his. And idk if I mentioned but he’s so freaking tall. I’m just like 5’2 and he’s like maybe over 6 feet Idk. And when we held hands he was just so serious and quiet. You could tell he liked it because his face was a light pink. but I felt so comfortable holding his hand. it’s just perfect. He was squeezing my hand, I guess because he didn’t want it to seem like it was serious, serious 😂. But also throughout the day he would hug me and pull me tight to his chest and do that little cute thing he does with like smelling my hair and putting his chin right on top. He has to slouch when he does it, I love it.
