Hi i think i have a small problem, i have a girlfriend for more that 3 years.
Every thing is great by the way..
I started a new job some weeks a good and i think that on of the female workers want to date me. She ain't say it in 100% like most of the girls, but she spend a lot of time with me and stay for the late hours. She show some signs like she said more than 5 times that i need to rest after work and to go out tonight.. and things like this.
Now i want her to know some how that i have a girlfriend and i love her, but i don't wanna heart my Co-workers so how can i tell her?

Don't be too sure yet. She could be just too friendly and maybe she is like this to all other co-workers she treats as friends. Anyway, if your feeling is right though then that is a problem. I know that it is difficult because you do not want to hurt her feelings and do not want to ruin the friendship but the truth is the only best way to it. Saying it to her as soon as you are sure that she indeed likes you then the better it is for the both of you because by doing this you are saving her from expecting something and you are saving yourself from destroying a good relationship with your girlfriend. It may be hard for her at first but she will eventually accept it, and who knows you might even keep the friendship and maybe make it better. I do hope you get out of this situation alive and well. Good luck!

Hi,
Looks like your co worker has shown a liking for you. From what you've mentioned she obviously does not know that you already have a girlfriend. I think the best thing for you to do is to tell her as soon as possible or else it might complicate matters. If you feel you cannot tell her directly you can always hint to her. Either way she'll feel sad if she has feelings for you but you have to do it for both you and her sake.

@yoniarnon judging from your statement now it seems like you are not really sure if your co-worker likes you.. so which is which really? maybe if she doesn't give you concrete innuendos you shouldn't really think too much about her having to hang out around you often, maybe you she just feels really comfortable around you but it doesn't mean she wants to date you. has she been very touchy? what words does she normally use to make you reach to such conclusion that she really wants you? can you give us more examples pls? :)

Maybe you're just thinking too much and she's just being friendly? But if she really does like you like you say she's been showing "signs" then maybe be subtle on her like bringing your girlfriend's name up in between discussions and stuff just so she's actually aware that you have a girlfriend. :) i think that wouldn't be so bad and that would actually make her aware that you really love your GF ;)

yeah like ask her questions like what's the best gift for a girlfriend. like tell her that your girlfriend's birthday and you want to give her something very special. that will give her the idea that you are off limits and that you really love your girlfriend.

This can be a good idea although i don't like just mention that i have a girl friend it sound a bit stupid.. like "you have a nice shoes my girlfriend likes shoes like this too.."
And i don't the only one that see those signs another co-worker told me that i should tell her i have a girlfriend already..

WEll maybe she likes you but as long as she doesn't tell it to you then you're safe. Just treat her as a friend and slowly talk about you and your girlfriend then she will know that you are not interested in any relationship with her.

Oh, it is just a small problem!
She can do what she likes. Everyone can do as they like. But it is you that determines what your reaction will be. So it is not what everyone else does that is the problem, it is what you do. Maybe you have misunderstood as nothing is said 100% so you just can not be sure. As it is not a sure fact, it is better that you just take it as the way you think you want: you have a girl friend and that you love your girl friend so you don't have to pay attention to something which may just be your own imagination.

Maybe she does like you, but not in the way that you're thinking? Some colleagues tend to be overly friendly that it's almost bordering on liking a person romantically. But before you get ahead of yourself and burst your mind fretting over something that might not be even there, just tell her casually that you already have a gf. Just slide that info in during a casual conversation, they're both girls so maybe they have a common ground, start with "I didn't know you like that, you see my gf also likes....."

Lol this is a good advise not the ring thing but maybe the picture..
We work with the same PC and it is the office PC so i can't put there a pic of my girlfriend for only couple of hours, but maybe i put a pic of her on facebook or something and leave the pc open..

It has happened to me as well, during my studies. I think that the best that you can do is make clear that you have a relationship and you're faithful. You can talk about your girlfriend at certain moments during the day and she will take the message if she doesn't know that you have a girlfriend yet.
The truth is that, it's nice to be liked and it boosts your confidence. If you make it clear then you might loose this feeling. It's better to do it now though, before the girl takes the wrong message and has hopes about you 2 being together!

If you really like your girlfriend, you should tell other females that you have a good grilfriend. You should tell other females directly and firmly.
This phenonmen is so common and I also warry about my bf. Haha......
Wish you and your grilfriend happy forever.

Maybe she is just being friendly, she sees a hard-working person in you.Honestly, I also do things like your workmate do but I am not interested to those people, I just want to be friendly and somehow show care towards my friends even though it's in the opposite gender particularly those who work really hard and it is seen. Maybe your just being a little paranoid. but those signs can also be a sign of a girl who wants you so beware. Why not ask her directly? If she said yes, then tell her that you already have a girlfriend. Anyway, whatever you'd do, you'll hurt her feelings if she really likes you. If you do this, at least she'll stop hoping and then move on. The faster she'd know, the faster she'd move on. Do not let this happen for a long time, for maybe her like would become deeper and you would hurt anymore. Goodluck in you're situation. I hope it helped.

sincerely talk with her. ask her true feelings toward you. be certain and do not be assumptive. it is nice when you know the truth which may coming from her own lips. if it is positive, explain to her that you have a girlfriend and you love her. in this way, whatever gonna happened, at least she already knew her limits and know where to make her stand. because if you will not take actions to this matter, maybe she will expect something from you and maybe she will think that the feeling is mutual between you two. also tell her, so that she will not get hurt at the end. good luck to you.

It is plain and simple, be true to yourself and your girlfriend. If you REALLY love her then nothing will go wrong as you will know the difference between what is right and wrong.

Sometimes its best to solve a problem at its root before it beings sprouting out. You can always hint to her that you are currently involved, by showing her pictures or simply talking about your relationship. For eg. if she stays for the late hours, you could simple appear in a hurry and tell her you have someone important waiting for you. That way she will come to understand that you are currently attached. Some girls are just too friendly and you may get all the false alarms that she might be interested in you (Remember we can never understand their psychology). So its good if you don't jump to any conclusions. Its okay to hurt her know when she might only have a crush on you, rather then to completely distress her out when she has totally fallen in love with you. Good luck...
