“She likes me, she likes me not.”
This is a statement most men think about once a female coworker starts acting friendly towards them. However, as you already know, acting familiar with you isn’t necessarily a sign of attraction. It may just be her personality.
How then are you supposed to know if she likes you or is just acting friendly?
Today, we answer this question. In today’s post, we’ll discuss 33 clear signs a female coworker likes you.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Let’s get right into it.
#1. She Says Hi to You Every Morning
This is perhaps one of the most obvious signs a female coworker likes you. Every morning without fail, she comes to your desk or office and says good morning.
This is especially a strong sign of affection if you’re the only one she comes to say hi to every morning. However, if she says hi to everyone in the office, she may just have a friendly personality.
#2. She Smiles When She Sees You
Have you noticed that she’s always smiling whenever your eyes make contact?
This could be a sign of affection. However, just like saying hi to you every morning, her smile could be a sign of professional courtesy or friendship.
So, how do you know if the smile indicates attraction of friendship?
Well it’s easy. In a genuine smile, she makes prolonged eye contact and holds her gaze for several seconds. By doing this, she is trying to look more attractive and inviting; therefore, indicate attraction.

Does she always ask how your evening and weekend was? This is also a sign that she likes you.
By asking how you spent your weekend or evening, she may be trying to investigate if you spent your time with another lady.

Whenever you like someone, you always want to be around them, right?
The same goes for your female workmate.
