What's up with the 'wink'?

Question - (31 October 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 October 2010)

This is something which has been puzzling me recently. I started a new career/job about a year ago and there is a guy who works there occasionally. When he started seeing me around he winked at me. We hadn't really introduced ourselves properly or spoken much at that point. I'll admit, it made my day. Since then we have become quite friendly and we chat when we see each other at lunchtime etc.

Late last week he came in to the staff room and sat opposite me and at one point he winked at me. The funny thing is that I didn't really give much thought to it until later that night. My reaction to this wink was quite different. I thought it was strange because we now know each other reasonably well although there still is a bit of unspoken stuff between us.

Basically I want to know, once and for all, why do guys wink? Is it to show interest? I have only ever been winked at by older men or someone letting me in on a joke. This guy I'm talking about is in my age range (mid-late 30's) and I have never really noticed youngish guys wink at anyone.

A reader, anonymous, writes (31 October 2010):

He is definitely interested, but not the overt kinda interested. He seems more the, I want you but don't want anyone to know type of winker. Is he married, do you know him well enough to know he doesn't have a steady girlfriend, if he is trying to covertly begin a relationship with you then there's a good chance he has other motives. Try overtly flirting with him in the company of other coworkers and see how he reacts. If he's single you'll get a date, if he isn't you will get some other reaction or another covert wink.
