Today at work, I overheard my crush tell his friend he thinks it's strange that I always laugh at everything he says even when it's not intended to be funny. How do I fix this?

Stop laughing at everything he says. In fact, only laugh when he cracks a really funny joke. Unfortunately, now he thinks you're weird. You're that coworker who laughs nervously at anything he says. He's on to the fact that you either a) have a crush on him or b) are a bit socially awkward. Either way, now is the time to do some damage control.

No one wants to be with someone who laughs at everything they say. (Well, maybe Jay Leno.) If you're laughing at him even when he's being serious, you're not really feeding his ego. If you think everything we say is funny, we start to question your sincerity. You just come off as a butt-kisser. Everyone likes their ego massaged, but there's a limit. You want him to take you seriously. Plus, he may think you're making fun of him or being sarcastic all the time.

You can come back from this. Play hard to get. Get coy all of a sudden. Don't constantly be around him laughing at his every witticism about your annoying coworker Pam who always talks about her kids. Make some jokes of your own. Don't be hanging on his every word. Pretty soon he'll be like, "What happened to that girl who always laughs at my jokes? All of a sudden I really want to ask her out and/or makeout with her in the storage closet."

Laughing at everything is a little over the top. How'd you achieve that? I def agree with the experts answer. You might get that guy to totally crush on you.
