Why does my coworker feel so "protective" over me?
I don't know if he likes me back, but I know he thinks I'm really pretty. We used to work at a restaurant, and we bonded over being from the same hometown and wanting the same profession. About two weeks into us knowing each other, he told me about this traumatic experience that happened to him. I have a weirdly similar experience to him, but I was too nervous to open up then. I admit that he's never quite opened up like that again, but he's always been nice and engaged with me. Even though I acted very ditzy a lot of the time, he never got angry. 951
Well, he would get angry, but usually for very trivial things, and he'd scoff or roll his eyes.
He's a skinny nerdy guy with glasses. I'm very socially awkward and shy, but I like wearing makeup and I try to be friendly. He's an older brother of a sister, I'm a younger sister of a brother. I'm a Virgo, his mom's a Virgo. Maybe he sees something in me that reminds me of her (not in a weird <PERSON> complex way)? Also, I mentioned to him that I never had a boyfriend, as I went to an all girls high school and didn't like to go out much. Yet, he always has this protective nature in regards to me. I don't quite know how to describe it.
