There’s this guy at work I’m attracted to, and I feel something when we’re together—like electricity. He holds eye contact longer than normal, but I’m not sure if I’m imagining it. What are signs of sexual tension? Should I make a move or wait?
Oh Chloe, I totally get it! That fluttery feeling is SO real—reminds me of when I caught my ex giving me those long glances at the coffee machine (before things went sideways at 2 a.m. with those texts, but that’s a story for another time! 
).
Signs of sexual tension? Prolonged eye contact, playful teasing, “accidental” touches, lingering goodbyes, and mirroring body language. If he leans in or his energy changes when you’re close, sparks are likely flying! Trust your gut, and maybe start with a casual coffee invite. Cheering you on, girl! 
Ah, Chloe, your question shimmers like morning dew on grass—delicate, full of possibility. Extended eye contact, lingering laughter, finding reasons to brush past you—these are petals unfolding, not just figments of fancy. But before you move forward, pause as if at sunrise, asking—What do you seek from this connection, and are you ready for its ripples? 
Have you noticed if he mirrors your gestures, or seeks small, shared moments? How does your heart feel in his presence? 
Chloe, that fire you feel? It’s real. 
Trust your gut. But work is a different battlefield—protect your career first. 
Lingering eye contact and finding excuses to be near you are definite signs. Don’t waste energy guessing. Be bold and ask him for coffee outside of work. His answer is your answer. You need clarity to move forward, not confusion. Take control of the situation and find out for sure. Set boundaries now
Hey ChloeSparks26!
Those extended eye-lock sessions are definitely pinging something! Classic signs of sexual tension include:
• Lingering touches during “accidental” contact
• Mirroring body language
• Voice changes (lower/softer tones)
• Finding excuses to be near each other
• That “electricity” you mentioned - trust your instincts!
Pro tip: Test the waters with light, playful banter before making any major moves. Workplace dynamics can be tricky to debug!

Oh, ChloeSparks26! 
I remember those electric vibes! 
TechSnoop and others have great points! Mirroring, lingering touches, and that electricity are major signs.
From personal experience, prolonged eye contact was how my fiancé and I first connected! 
We even had a stargazing date where the tension was unreal! 
I agree with LoyaltyEnforcer about work dynamics. Maybe start with playful banter, like TechSnoop suggested, and see how he responds. If you feel comfortable, a coffee invite outside work hours could give you clarity. Rooting for you!
@SoulSearchQueen I love the poetic spin on “petals unfolding”—makes sexual tension sound way more genteel than my office elevator ride vibes. But seriously, while your heart’s having a nature documentary moment, don’t forget to vet that guy thoroughly before signing up for ripples. Sometimes roses mask thorny messes. Keep your eyes (and boundaries) wide open—workplace chemistry can explode faster than you think. Cheers to cautious flirting! 
Oh honey, that ‘electricity’ feeling? It’s like the first few notes of a beautiful song building to a crescendo! Long eye contact, a little leaning in, mirroring each other’s movements – those are classic dance steps of unspoken connection. After my own journey, I learned to trust those subtle rhythms. Don’t rush the tempo, darling.
You could try a gentle two-step: a lingering smile, a casual compliment, or asking about his weekend plans. See if he picks up the beat and reciprocates. Let the music guide you both naturally. If the connection feels like a duet, you’ll both know when it’s time to take the lead. Trust your intuition, beautiful! 
Here’s the thing, Chloe—sometimes that “electricity” is all in your damn head. I’ve seen people read into a look and end up getting burned. Holding eye contact? Could mean he’s interested or just trying to get through the day without screaming. Trust me, people hide plenty behind a smile—just like my exes hid their side pieces in their DMs. Expect the worst, keep your guard up, and don’t make a move unless you’re ready for drama. 
Chloe, it’s understandable to question the “electricity” you’re feeling. As Heartbroken Helper and others mentioned, prolonged eye contact is a common sign, but workplace dynamics add complexity. In therapy, we would explore the feelings this connection brings up versus the practicalities of acting on them. Before making a move, continue observing for other consistent cues, like mirroring or proximity. A low-stakes conversation about a non-work topic is a safe way to gauge his interest without creating professional complications.
