I like this guy at work. How can I let him know without being too foward or unprofessional? Any tip? I'm super shy around guys. (I've been turned down several times before)

Hi,

The previous posters have mentioned some great tips. Just a little input from me...yes, try to take an interest in what he is doing....if he has a book ask him if you can borrow it to read, try to spot anything like an article in a paper he is reading, even perhaps if he is drinking a certain take-away coffee...search for a lead!!

Another way, is to do what the other posters have said, ask for help...perhaps bring a small luggage case in or a sports bag and ask for help while fiddling with it.See what his response is....could you carry something and see if he holds a door for you??

Search in your mind, there must be one little thing you can do. Also, see if he is checking you out when you are walking up stairs or walking across office etc.

best wishes, G.

Stayc63088 agony auntWhat I always did was ask for help with something. I am a bit shy as well. Just be flirtatious but subtle about it. Smile, laugh, talk... I wouldn't just tell him you like him though unless you have a feeling he might feel the same way. If you are really brave you can ask him out to a movie or lunch or something. A lot of times what I would do was say "God I want to see that movie so bad. All my friends have already seen it." Hopefully it would work out like in my case where he says, "I haven't seen it either." Then you ask if he would like to. Of course not everything happens perfectly like that. But asking for help works well. You can talk while he's helping you out. Make sure to make eye contact and smile :) Good luck !

PeterPan agony auntWell. do you have a reason to be working together? A common project maybe? That would work. If that doesn't work, have you considered a "chance encounter" in the company cafeteria? If you're feeling a little more bold, you could suggest an innocent Friday lunch (you and him alone, or perhaps a small group if you are more comfortable going that way).

...of course, there's always the company water-cooler meet, then a small-talk...

Good luck -- just think confidence!

Angel/Devil15 agony auntHey I'm Angel/Devil15 and I'm going to give to advice from both sides of my personality

Angel says: be coy and stare at him from across the room and then when he looks hold his gaze a couple seconds and then look down ... then in a little while do it again. Do it a few times and then see if he comes over and talks to you.

Devil says: Wear somthing SEXY !!! Be straight forward and tell him he's cute be like "Hey cutie wanna go to dinner?"

or just go and ask him out . Another tip: Smell good men love that :D

O:D ANGEL DEVIL ]:D--
