A month and a half ago, I met a new guy who has recently become a part of our committee for an organization. He’s started to tease me quite a bit in work meetings, things like whether I’m blushing, whether there are other guys in the picture etc. One time, I had to Skype in for a meeting and he was looking at the screen (with my face on it), and says “you’re beautiful but I’m really looking at myself”. He’s very professional with everyone else, but he turns into a very cheeky character every time he and I make contact. He also mentions anytime we message in Facebook (which isn’t often) and storytells about it. But interestingly we haven’t really made contact outside of our work, or communicate much outside of work meetings.
I’ve been a bit unsure why he would be a very fun, jokey guy with just me, but then become incredibly professional with others.
I did notice, at a networking event, he was also jokey with another girl (in front of me) who was approximately our age. So I did think it was just part of his personality to be jokey around girls who are our age.
But it’s interesting because he risks breaking professionalism in our work meetings just to make me smile. It also got to the point that the president of our organization, one of my good friends, mentioned whether he should split the two of us up (as if we were back in primary school).
What do you think?
Thanks,
Katherine.
