Is My Office Crush Into Me or Just Bored?

There’s this guy at work—let’s call him Sam. We’ve been hanging out a lot: lunch breaks, coffee runs, even sharing snacks. He’s always cracking jokes, sometimes brushes my hand, and once even kissed me on the cheek (yes, I blushed). But here’s the weird part: when it’s just us after work, he gets distant. No hand-holding, no hugs, just casual chat. At work, he’s super flirty—winks, compliments, all that—but outside, it’s like we’re just friends. Still, he’ll buy me my favorite bubble tea or bring me snacks, and we text non-stop. We’ve got another dinner planned, but I’m honestly confused. Is he shy, or just passing time? Has anyone else been in this limbo? How do you tell if someone’s genuinely interested or just bored at work? Would love some advice before I embarrass myself on our next date! #OfficeRomance #DatingConfusion #RelationshipAdvice #RomanticRelationships
