Today I decided to wear make up and look nice since I knew I was working on his floor.I am CNA and he is a Nurse
Then sometime later during the shift after he finished applying a dressing to one of the residents,he asked me to get a pack of ice for her hands that’s swollen in the fridge .He went in is office to get a plastic bad to put the ice in the bag then he was like So you did your make up today, you look goodI just blushed and said thank you .
I am so shy so I just froze then I asked him if he ever goes out and he said he does occasionally to a pub but that’s about it. We made a small talk about casual staff. I would prefer not to date a co worker but if I am truly interested in someone then nothing will stop me
Does this mean he likes me as well or am I just reading too much into it? Why would he bother
Impossible to reliably tell. Maybe you looked nice but there’s no way he’d ever date you. Maybe it was a safe opening to flirt because there’s interest on his part. Hell he might not even be sure, let alone any of us that don’t know how he normally behaves.
No biggie. The “General Questions” forum is for factual questions (like “why is the sky blue?”) This sort of stuff gets shuffled into either IMHO (In My Humble Opinion, since you’re asking for opinions) or MPSIMS (which is just general chatter.) ETA: Oh, and welcome to the Dope!
I can’t imagine any man saying to a woman “So you did your make up today, you look good” without having ulterior motives. That’s not the kind of casual conversation one has without being interested. Even if I WAS interested I’d think twice about making such a statement in a professional environment.
I agree with this, especially because unless you’re going the full Gene Simmons, makeup is more subtle and harder to notice on someone vs. say, a haircut or dye.
I say he is interested, whether it’s for a relationship or just a one-nighter no one but him can be sure. But I think you should at least pitch the idea of hanging out

Not to be a wet blanket (or an ice pack…) here, but what are your hospital’s rules on employee fraternization? You say nothing would stop you if you were interested in someone.
We don’t work in a Hospital, we work in Retirement home. I also don’t work with him everyday since we work in different departments. Should I ask him he wants to go out for coffee sometime?I also need to find out if he is single first
I don’t think there is any issue with that since there are couple of co workers that are involved.
I have had at least few co workers who asked me out but unfortunately I wasn’t interested in any of them. I just wish if this guy would make a move already :smack:. Its always the ones that I am not interested that are more bold and express their interest
“So you did your make up today, you look good” is an incredibly clunky-sounding compliment for a man to give a woman. It sounds like something my Aspergian son would say if I told him to say something nice about someone. No points off for trying.
I’m guessing your coworker is either closeted gay, autistic, or a Terminator.
