>I (30M) am currently training a new female coworker at my job in a factory environment. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed her standing unusually close to me and making a lot of physical contact.
Whenever I show her how to fill out paperwork, she leans in extremely close—to the point where our arms and skin touch, and her face is right next to mine. A few times while looking at paperwork, she leaned in and pressed her chest directly against my arm. Beyond that, she always makes a point to say good morning to me first, makes a lot of eye contact, and laughs a lot when we talk in groups.
On one hand, the factory floor is pretty noisy, so it’s possible she’s just leaning in close to hear me better or isn't aware of the physical contact. On the other hand, it feels very intentional.
She also wears rings on both ring fingers and mentioned she is "with someone, but not fully married" when someone asked about it.
I find her very attractive, and I'll admit the physical proximity made me nervous and excited. However, since I am the one training her, i need to know if its a bad idea to flirt back or reciprocate? How should I handle this situation do i set boundaries flirt back and see where this leads me. I do find her very sexualy attractive, (she has an amazing big chest and big ass) Also i'm not experienced with this kind of attention from a woman, i always flirt first with someone i like. and the last time a woman flirted with me at my old job i didn't pick up on it and missed my opportunity to get with her.
what should i do about this now???

First, consider the fact that you're shitting where you eat. It would be one thing if you worked in a big company in different departments or something, but if she's your trainee it sounds like you're going to be working closely with her.
Next, consider that you lose girls the same way you get them - if she's willing to leave her man for you after some casual flirting at work, she'll probably do the same thing to you in the future.To address the core of your question, at the end of the day who really knows what's going through her stupid head. Women are very good at breeching intimate spaces without giving it a second thought. Without some concrete second indicator of interest the physical contact itself is meaningless. A lot of women these days are just flirtatious and coquettish by nature for female attention. I've had women do the same things you're describing but when I try to match their energy or even ask them out I get shut down. They like the attention and the knowledge that they're titillating you but they're too serious about their boyfriends to cross the threshold into actual cheating or initiating a breakup. Or they're keeping you on the hook with interest as a backup option because things are currently rocky with her beau, but she could turn the tap off if things get better. Or, she really wants you. Again, who knows, there's not enough to go off on.Man, I really fucking hate women.

Run. It's a trap.
