I’m into a co-worker. Nothing indicates he’s interested or even into guys, but I’m bad at reading social cues. He knows I’m not straight and we talk regularly at work.

It feels like it’s obvious I like him, but again, social cues. I was thinking about saying something direct and just being honest, but I don’t want to stress him out. I don’t expect him to like me back, but that would be great.

I guess I’m asking how uncool is it to communicate that to someone at work?

Edit - I just wanted to say thanks and I hear what a lot of you are saying. I was under the assumption that being around someone you like and not telling them you like them is dishonest and unfair. It turns out I need to reevaluate some things about myself.

I need to be careful and I don’t want to risk making work worse for me/alienate another person who’s trying to work in peace.

I’m just glad I got to talk about the feeling somewhere shit once. Thanks again!

    You’re walking a fine line with straight men. They can either take it well or physically assault you for saying something like that. You know him better than I do and can probably tell by now if he’s the type to react that way or not.

    Unless your aim is to ask him out or something, I’d say not to tell him. It just creates a weird relationship.
