Chatting up an older guy in work?

Tagged as: Friends<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (9 November 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 20 November 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm nearly 20 and I work in a huge store in the stockroom which near enough sells everything. I'm really tall and look about 25. I really fancy an older guy who is 30-35. I thought the crush would go away but it hasn't and I have never fancied anyone in work before so I don't know how I can approach it.

I can't even look him in the eye anymore and he always makes jokes and does silly things which makes me smile and like him more. He has a cheeky way about him which often makes me shy and go silly. I do get a slight impression about the way he acts that he is either flirting with me or just trying to be a really funny friend. It is really hard to have a conversation with him more than one line because the place is so big and everyone is always running around and there's not much chance we would bump into each other alone cos there are so many people who work there.

I want to get to know him or chat him up but I don't know what I can say without sounding too obvious. He could even have a wife at home for all I know. Even getting the moment to ask him something is rare. So when I do which I have a few times so far, I don't know what to say, my mind goes blank and I start to stare at him all silly.

I would be so embarrassed asking him something too forward as I would be scared of rejection. The only thing I could think of is the xmas night out but then again everyone from work would be there too so maybe not such a good idea. Help meee please. Any reply is good I guess :)

why not flirt with him back? do you guys get on break together? maybe you should go get something to eat together during break, or why not one day after work. or... why don't you act depressed one day, and see how he reacts... make up a siltation, and if he is interested, well that shows some signals. why not spice up a conversation during that time, and ask him some question... talk about a boy you liked you did you wrong... etc, and then ask him, has he ever been through it, or what would he do if he was in that spot. just make up some bullshit to get through his act. i'm telling you, act depressed one day and see how he acts towards you. if he asks you questions and shows deep interest then it is your chance to get personal with him!

if you need any other help don't hesitate to pm me!

Thanks for the great advice. Does anyone else have an answer? I would really apreciate it if they did. I dont really believe that this could work but when feelings overcome you, you cant help the way you think and i am so open to any new or old ideas about any situation. You try anything once or you havnt lived life to the fullest :)

Collaroy agony auntHi,

I can see your dilemma. If he's flirting with you , chances are he likes you. Believe me, we guys can be pretty shallow people, we dont tend to flirt with girls who we dont like.

But find out if he's married first!!! You dont want to go there if he is. Surely there is someone you can ask at your work?

Also, next time you talk (of course by now you have found out he isnt married and is single ) try and hint at something which he can help you with. A problem with your car,bicycle,whatever.. something that needs a strong fellas help..anything. You'll think of something.
