Coworker keeps buying me food

I also think she is mothering you.

So?

If you really want to know where her interest lie, just ask about another girl. Basically say this, "Hey ____. Thank you for being so nice to me, you really seem like a friend I can trust... you see, there's this girl I like next door to me, and I'm not sure how to talk to her. Any advice?" From there just gauge her reaction.

It's sad, but we women get jealous easily when it comes to men/women we're fond of, so if you get any other reaction that isn't, "Awwwwh," or helpful advice (with no sly remarks about the girl), then she probably likes you.

It's a little creepy. I mean, she is married and you are single. If you were both single or both married, I would say she is just really friendly.

There is something very "off" about this woman. Stay away from her.

Justmehere's story and advice is interesting and probably far more intriguing for you than my immediate reaction:

Maybe she just thinks you're too damn skinny and she's being motherly?

It's difficult to refuse gifts that are meant to be kind, but I think you have to tell her - in the most tactful way you can manage - that the food makes you uncomfortable. Maybe you could just ask her, in a half-jokey way, why she keeps giving you food.

You should try to repay the favor and buy her food sometime if you havent already.

She's being nice, or, possibly..wants some action. Age-wise, it's perfect, she probably wants a break from her husband and kid..I say go for it. Treat her like a desirable woman, and not, as she likely only gets at home, mom and wife. Remind her she's still hot.

Very good, gorgeous female friend of mine ran a temp service. Tall, German blonde, sexy accent, incredibly desirable. Guys hit on her all the time in her office. She was also married, with a husband who was on the road a lot, 3 kids of their own, and took in her troubled sister's son. Lot of stress at home. We were out making business stops one afternoon, and she told me she felt unappreciated, her husband has no time for her, and all she does is work and take care of the 4 kids.

I started paying more attention to her, as a woman, not only my friend, taking her to lunch fairly often, leaving flowers at her office door, even paying for a spur of the moment manicure for her when we were out and about (she usually wasn't a mani or nails-type woman, but did love how they looked..as did I). Soon enough, we started messing around, having sex in her office since she worked alone, my townhouse, or a hotel. In fact, I'd say..LOTS of sex..Was easy to see she was sexually ignored at home, to my surprise, as she really was gorgeous, but..We kept it going for quite awhile.

Tuesday mornings were coffee and "start the day with sex" days..We became friendly with the salon owner, so, every 2 weeks or so, I'd pay for her updated manicure (we did jet-red for her bday...damn that was hot on her), took a few beach days, and a few working/clean her office days where she'd dress in comfy, sexy clothes that prompted me to take her on the couch.

I treated her like a woman, not only a mom or slave wife, and, she responded.. You should do the same.
