For a bit of context, I do work in a corporate environment with a team of other young adults (22-30). We are all very close and there’s definitely a personal side to all of our relationships with one another.

One of my coworkers is also queer. I never thought much of it or her until we started to work a bit more closely together.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed she’s been VERY touchy. I haven’t noticed if that’s simply how she is with everyone or not, but every single time I see her now, there is some form of physical contact being made.

A maybe-too-long shoulder rub, fixing my hair, putting her arm around me, touching my arm during a conversation, and what I would call “middle school flirting” (think of “mean flirty,” I guess?).

I’m not sure if I’m an over thinker in this situation. I’m also not sure if I’m comfortable with this or if I sort of like the dynamic?? There’s definitely an age gap and she’s a bit “higher up” than me, so not sure if that’s a contributing factor in this situation or not.

To clarify, I definitely will NOT be dating or “making a move” in my coworker. Idk this is mainly a vent and maybe an attempt for me to figure out how this situation makes me feel/whether I’m reading too much into it! Thank you guys.
