There's this gorgeous older man at work who I share a few common interests with and enjoy talking to.

I've noticed often he will touch my shoulder once he's done talking to me or when he has to cut the conversation short. Sometimes he'll give me a playful tap on the arm if I make him laugh or do something silly. I remember one morning when I greeted him he smiled the biggest, warmest smile I've ever seen; eyes and all.

We have had a disagreement recently that has led me to tear up a little, he apologised numerous times after the event. Even apologising to me again after my day off; which was the next time he saw me. The touching seems to have cropped up after our argument actually now that I think about it.

He just seems slightly more tactile with me than the other girls at work though he'll talk more with them than with me. Ordinarily I'm suspicious of any man that will start playing around with me like that, as I myself haven't been very tactile with him at all. I'm not sure if I can read this guy though.
