    Just wonderin wat ppl think - If you like someone (say you work with them) but you try not to make it obvious, do they still no? And if they do tink you like them does that change their opinion of you?

    "do they still no?" Given that your post includes more of the annoying text-speak :rolleyes: I presume that you mean do they still "know" ?

    Everyone's different. They may pick up on it, or they may not (apparently, I've chatted and been friendly with people who were interested and haven't even realised it, only for a third-party to tell me later - when it was too late!).

    And if they do twig, then they might either (a) hope you'll take it further (b) pray that you don't, because they won't know how to say "no" (that's the real "no") because of the work environment, or (c) treat you like crap, stringing you along because they know they can or (d) treat you exactly the same.

    Like I said, everyone's different.

    Hmmm I think it all depends on the person, and if they lik you or not......

    If you're a really shy person and then can't talk to them/blush when they speak 2you Im sure they're on 2you!! Lol

    Personally, I can normally always tell when some1 fancies me, as long as I am not interested in them (that sounds bad but its true). If Im mad bout them I just kinda shut off my sensors or sumtn and assume they couldn't fancy me2, that Im just not that lucky.

    Regardless of whether I kno or not tho, I dont really change my behaviour 2them. Maybe try go out of my way not 2lead them on if Im not interested but Im never mean or nythin, I just try 2help them get the message withough embarrassin them.

    if it's a guy you like, and you're making a point of not making it obvious, then no, chances are he doesn't know, we're not reknowned for our mindreading abilities. He might get a feeling, but probably not enough to act on unless you make it slightly clearer. If it was college/school/social setting a feeling might be enough for him to go on, but in a work situation there's more than embarrassment to consider if he's picked it up wrong.
