Over Helpful Work collegue

[HONEY22]

Hi guys and girls i just need some adivice on what to do with this work collegue of mine, whenever i do something she trys and helps by doing it for me, the other day, i was supposed to collect the cups from the residents, when they finish moring tea, she looked at me and said no sit,
she winks at me, and is trying to be very helpful to me, when i have lunch she asks if she can sit near me, we had a concert, she sat in front of me which i didnt care, she felt bad so she sat next to me, and then i dont know why for, she held my hand and wouldnt let go of it, then she finally let go.
i am 22 and shes in her 60s, she always seems to be nice to me and sometimes i dont know. should i be worried?

seems like she's taken you under her wing. As long as she's not being inappropriate, I wouldn't worry about it. If the holding hand thing makes you uncomfortable, though, then just tell her.

Basically shes in her older years which she wants to be able to pass on some knowledge to younger workers. It gives her a good amount of purpose but at the same time it could be detrimental to you. It is nothing unusual its just the age difference of living in a different time. She is most likely just being very nice and sometimes you just have to find nice ways to show you want to do something yourself but would still like to have her advice from time to time.


I think she just made a new friend and you probably do more for her than she does for you to be honest.

sounds like your to the point where she makes you uncomfortable and you need to inform both her and your supervisor of that fact. We do have stalker laws now.
