If you're autistic, how can you tell if she's actually flirting or not? Genuine question.

It's possible she does. But attempting to date a co-worker is a minefield. Ask yourself what it will be like trying to work with her when the two of your are going through a really acrimonious break-up.

That’s the thing, I can’t really tell.
The last time I thought a girl was flirting with me and asked her about it, she looked at me like I’d just insulted her.
So now I’m thinking maybe this one’s just being nice because of my autism.
But then a guy at work mentioned that she’s actually being really flirty with me, so now I’m confused.

Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about too. If I ask her out and she’s not into me, it could get super awkward at work. And if things go south after dating, I might even have to change jobs. Definitely a risky move.

This depends on how much you value your job. If it's a good high earning job, I'd say it's not worth it. Add in the fact that you're autistic and don't know whether its real flirting just adds to this.

>>33380711
Yeah, true. I make decent money, and my state’s pretty affordable, so it’s probably smarter to just stay friendly with her. She’s probably just being nice because she sees me eating alone every lunch break

I realize this is an alien concept to you, but try to wrap your mind around it.

She likes you.
