I have a coworker (let’s call her Marie) with whom i get along very well. We travelled together for several weeks for training and we became good friends rather quickly. It was never flirty, just two people that hit it off very well. We enjoyed going to the beach together in the free time of our training and having a glass. She is of arabic origin, with dark hair with shoulder length, dark eyes, and a very very voluptuous body. But what I like the most about her is her smile, which illuminates her eyes.
Several months after meeting, we had a company get together organised. We were excited to see each other again because we work in different countries and although we meet from time to time, we always appreciate the opportunity to meet for several days and have a glass of wine together. The whole company had a large restaurant at a hotel booked for dinner and my colleague and I had arrived slightly earlier with some other close colleagues of her. A group of five approximately. While we waited for the rest of the company to arrive to enter the restaurant we all hit the bar and my friend and I were chatting. She asked me whether I had access to the file where the company was posting the pictures of the event, because it wasn’t working on her phone. I said yes and that i would show her later. She insisted on seeing the pics in that moment so I obliged. I took the phone out and unblocked it, and the first thing that appeared was a reddit post of mine… naked, and quite a revealing one. She was peering on my phone while i unblocked it so she had a good view of it. She reacted immediately pretending not to have seen it but it was too obvious so she started laughing. I responded saying: “that’s what happens when you peer into someone’s phone”. She laughed again. From that moment on there were several jokes between us all night about how she was violating my privacy and so on.
As the night progressed she moved her seat next to mine (we had been assigned separate tables at the dinner) and i felt her hand on my shoulders on several occasions. I shrugged it off assuming that she was just being slightly more friendly than usual. At some point there was some drama during the dinner and the manager of the event asked me to go talk to the direction of the hotel to solve it and we were separated for the rest of the night.The next night though, we had again dinner at another restaurant and then we hit the club. That is when i realised she was actively searching for me. Everybody was dancing but she was dancing with me. She hugged me several times and at a certain moment she kissed my shoulders. I think she was expecting a move from my part. Her hands were on my back as we danced, her legs around mine, i felt the warmth between her leg through the fabric of our trousers… at some point I asked her if she wanted a drink, that i would get for her, and she told me that she would come with me to the bar, and grabbed my hand.She is really cute but i found it unwise to do such a thing with a colleague so I just avoided escalating all night. It was a tough choice and i had to keep reminding me that we were surrounding by colleagues and bosses (and HR). Also i worried about our friendship. I think i made the right choice, but it felt amazing to be heavily flirted on.

I don’t get flirted with often, or at least if I do, I tend not to notice it. I’m often worried that if a similar situation happened to me, and I was brave enough to escalate it, I’d have misjudged it and the girl would only be playfully flirting and not actually interested.
The way your mind works when you’re not confident 😂
But I think you made the safe move 👍
