Is this co-worker friendly or testing out to be more flirty?

A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

At work there is a guy about my age who recently when around me or talking to me seems to want to touch my arm (shoulder area). He is a lovely guy to chat too but it dawned on me that no-one else seems to do it/not seen him do it to others).

The other week I received some bad news while I was standing in the kitchen at work when he was there and one other colleague. Soon after the colleague walked out he said 'i dont know what to say come here' and pulled me to him and gave me a really lovely hug. He also asked a work colleague later that day if I was ok. He has since continued sweetly touching my arm when he talks to me. I have since done the arm contact briefly myself so he knows that I am comfortable with it.

He is not a shy guy as when he was talking at work to some male colleagues they were talking about technology and a bluetooth shower radio which had a telephone symbol on it and he joked about receiving a call saying 'sorry I am in the shower soaking my b**ls.

I hate misreading things like this so asking opinion on friendly or testing out to be flirty at more.

Honeypie agony auntI think you should focus on your job and not look at your work place as a dating site.

FIND romance and love OUTSIDE of the work place (WHERE it belongs). Flirting don't belong in the work place either. Be professional, OP.

The guy isn't a shy guy so the fact that he hasn't asked out out is probably due to him being SMART in not wanting to date a coworker.

He might like you. As for attracted? Not sure. Maybe. Maybe not. Some guys just have this touch with women and he'd be just as likely to treat other women in his environment the same way. He could just be a big flirt too. You don't know him. So please don't get your hopes up. If he's taken and acting this way, he's definitely being a jerk. You don't want a guy whose a jerk and a flirt. Tread lightly here. Guard your heart.

I would say he is attracted to you but there is something that is stopping him from going further with you such as maybe he is married or has a gf. You could ask him or have a friend ask him what his status is.
