Woman Questions Touchy Coworkers Motives After She Finds Out He's In a Relationship

All friendships have their own dynamics. Some people are more touchy than others while others like to maintain a 6-foot distance at all times. This situation however is a little different.

One Redditor asked whether her coworker's touch was as innocent and platonic as it seemed on the surface.

She said that she struck up a friendship with her coworker and the two became close.

Reddit

Soon he started getting playfully touchy with messing up her hair, poking her, and sitting close.

He would also often hold her hand and try to make her laugh.

With all of this attention, OP started catching feelings but was shocked to discover he had a girlfriend of 10 years. Strange that she wouldn't know this about a close friend.

Reddit

She was confused and questioned whether he was just naturally touchy with his friends or whether there was really more to this than meets the eye.

Reddit

Commenters were quick to point out that he had failed to mention his girlfriend to her even though the two were very close friends. This was a red flag in itself.

Reddit

Others flat-out said none of this was platonic touchiness.

Even with much older friends, this commenter would perhaps share a hug but none of what OP mentioned.

Reddit

Others reiterated that they weren't touchy with platonic friends.

Reddit

Some speculated that he was either on the verge of cheating or was cheating on his girlfriend already.
