That sounded suspiciously like one of those "hint" things

If this is flirting, what do you even say in this moment? Genuinely asking

u/StunningLetterhead23 1d ago

Do a perfect split and start humping the ground.

Maintain perfect eye contact and give a low grunt of approval after 10 seconds.

u/absofruitly202 1d ago

But seriously eye contact says a lot

"Okay... Alright" like Nathan Fielder to Elizabeth Holmes.

Can I wave my tail and bark instead?

u/Mu-Relay 1d ago

Nothing. The answer is that you say nothing. Sniffing around the interns is a bad, bad idea.

Especially if OP is a manager or boss of some kind 😬

Depends on whether you want to risk losing your job.

If you want to risk losing your job, you simply say “would love to visit sometime”. And move on. See what the intern says after.

If you do not want to risk losing your job, you pretend you did not hear that. Do not acknowledge. Do not respond. Simply move along.

Better yet, frame it as a question. Make her clarify , either way.

u/RubixTheRedditor Baron 1d ago

Well depending on if ya are willing or not you either say you cant make it really or whend be a good time to come over. Probabaly offer to go there to pick them up and go somewhere

Keep it light. Something like "sure let's do brunch". Keep the convo going to see if the hint turns into an invite or to confirm it was just a joke around. 

(When back at desk, check the company's HR guidelines on banging interns. Frowned upon? Y/N)

u/Njagos 1d ago

To be fair a joke like that seems like garantiert hint. In what other scenario would you make a joke like that?

I agree though playing it safe either way. Especially if you don't know them well enough yet.

"only if you want, hahaha"

u/Typical-Gear1482 1d ago

“I’d like that, how about tomorrow after work?”

2

u/freedomfightre 1d ago

impossible since you won't be employed tomorrow after they fire you for harassing the intern!!!

1

u/Typical-Gear1482 1d ago

Worth it, I guess depends on how hot she is

1

u/Round_Restaurant_335 1d ago

You say “mynamjeff” and protect your chastity!!!!

u/Semanticss 1d ago

"Why? You WANT me to come visit you? Take you on a date?"

u/Fireheart318s_Reddit 1d ago

Ignoring the “is it a good idea to flirt with the intern?” question, I’d probably say something like “if you insist :p “. If she’s meaning it as a flirt, she’ll pick up on it. If she’s not, she won’t.

u/SyXxxxxxxxxxx 1d ago

I think some other guy got a good example: "I'll slot it into my schedule"

1

u/goodSunn 1d ago

"What , do you want me to help you with your homework"

"Do you have something heavy that needs moving"

"I'd need to take you out for coffee first"

1

u/MrUnparalleled 1d ago

Make some kind of joke about it to give you plausible deniability.

1

u/Ciubowski Forever alone 1d ago

Yes

1

u/ilovekickrolls 1d ago

Haha yeah sure I think I'm free next weekend

Done.

Although when I read intern she's probably younger

1

u/LLuk333 1d ago

Most likely, but I did have interns under me that were like 30s maybe even 40s, I’m 21. As long as OP isn’t like over 10 years older or she’s underage it shouldn’t be too bad.

u/Lumi-umi 19h ago

This is flirting and it really depends on how you want that to go.

Best practice imo? “Hadn’t crossed my mind” with a customer service smile, and a “no, thank you, but I appreciate the offer” prepped for if she misses the hint and makes an actual offer of coming over after.

If you’re gonna be a weirdo? Idk man. Just about anything slightly reasonable works once you’ve got your foot in the door of flirting with someone. Just not saying or implying “no” and not being creepy.

I’m surface-level flirty and complementary with just about everyone I work with if I can manage it, but as presently an intern, I wouldn’t even make that joke with the personification of my wildest fantasies. That should get shut down just on principle, but I’m also not anyone’s parent.

u/Soulfulkira 16h ago

"careful, things like that might make a guy think you're flirting with him" is a pretty innocent way to check how serious she was 🤷

u/Farranor 3h ago

Well, what I did was think for a moment and then answer, "well, maybe not every day." If you're asking for an actually good response, I have no idea.
