I’m looking for a male perspective on something happening at work. I’m an intern at a small studio (about 25–26 employees), and a male coworker who is a proper employee and about 2–3 years older than me lives in roughly the same direction. I usually take a cab home, and he has offered several times to drop me. Today I finally went with him, along with another colleague who happened to be going the same way just for the day. During the ride, he tried initiating conversation with me multiple times and even jokingly told his friend to use clean language, which made it seem like he was trying to keep the environment respectful and comfortable. He isn’t part of my friend group at work, but he does initiate conversations with me fairly often. He also doesn’t seem like someone who offers help to everyone. Some context: • He doesn’t follow me on Instagram. • I viewed his Instagram from a secondary account, and some posts felt misogynistic, vulgar, or body-shaming, which makes me unsure how to interpret his behavior in real life. • I don’t consider myself very attractive and I’m currently overweight, so I sometimes assume men wouldn’t be romantically interested in me — which may be affecting how I read this situation. I’m trying to understand: is he likely just being helpful and friendly, trying to build rapport with an intern, or could this indicate personal interest? Men — what would your intentions likely be in a situation like this? submitted by /u/AdVarious4063
