Can a married man usually tell if a female colleague is attracted to him (but she tries to supress it)?
Can a married guy pick up on this attraction even though the woman does not want to act on it? Say she does her best to avoid eye contact and keep things professional? Can he still see that she is attracted to him? I'm talking about a single woman who has morals but is human and wouldn't dream of messing up a family. Opinions please.

I'm engaged not married but i can tell if a female work colleague is attracted to me, the eyes give it away the small talk, the look that says she's really happy to see you. Sometimes as hard as they try to act cool or pretend they don't like you it can backfire. Just avoid contact with him if at all possible, keep it to a minimum.

Guys can be pretty thick about some things, but one thing I think they can usually hone in on is a woman who's attracted to them. Part of the reason is that we can't hide it. Even when we think we're hiding it, usually everyone can tell. And if you're attracted enough to him that you have to be on here asking about this, and trying to find ways to "suppress" what you're feeling....chances are it's obvious, at least to the women you work with, and probably to this guy.
You can probably tell whether or not he knows by how he behaves around you. Once a guy knows a woman is attracted, he usually can't stay away and will find ways to pay a little extra attention to her.
You have my sympathies. Being attracted to a married man is one of the most painful situations!!!!! But nothing will happen unless he wants it to, so don't worry. Even if he knows you're attracted, if he's committed to his marriage your feelings won't be able to break it up.

Some men are much more perceptive than others. I would like to think I have been able to tell this kind of thing but can never really be sure. Eye contact is the big thing, if I make eye contact it tends to be a dead give away on whether or not she is attracted to me. Good luck!

say it out. Evil attracts more than the bland morals.
A bad man attracts more than a good one initially coz it involves risks which gives u the kicks.
But u always end up falling in love with a man with a good heart. Nobody can dent it.

I think if you are truly concerned about messing up his family, your best bet is to focus your attention on someone who's not married. People get crushes on other people all the time. Married or not married. The only difference is some people decide to act on it while others decide to move on. So whether he can tell or not, it doesn't matter, you need to decide what you want to do....

Guy's that are confident, and self assured are much better in tune with the people around them. Yes they can tell.
Guy's who are desperate and always looking for that girl they can call their own... have their senses clouded and can't tell who likes them and who doesn't.
I conclude people in stable relationships can tell when someone likes them... hence the large numbers of extra marital affairs. While single people stay single and lonely. "The grass is always greener" expression comes from people being attracted to people who are already spoken for.

You want to have contact with your date but you don’t want her to feel like she is being groped the entire evening. In the beginning a good rule of thumb is to only touch her arms, hands and back during most situations. Learn here https://tr.im/oYBJj
For example, after you open the door for her, it’s ok to put your hand on her back as she walks through. Although, the placement is key, too high says “we’re friends”; too low says “I want to grab your ***” and the spot right in dip of her lower back says “I think you’re sexy but I respect you”. The best thing to do is to follow her lead and err on the side of less is more until you’re told differently.

if he is not stupid, he will know that avoiding eye contact in itself is a sign of something
keep it professional - you are a kind soul
I'd probably want to know if he would be attracted to me, just for my own ratings and statistics etc :)

Wolf is right; men usually think any woman who looks at them wants them. All you have to do is keep it professional and he won't suspect a thing.
