writes:I started a job a few weeks ago and there's a guy there who I'm attracted to. I think he likes me, because once he joked with me about something I did, saying "You must think you're special." I responded that I was glad he noticed that I was "special" and then a little while later I caught him staring at me. Also, I needed him to do something work-related for me, so I e-mailed him Tuesday evening (so I guess he might not have gotten the e-mail till Wednesday morning), but he didn't come to my office to respond until first thing Friday morning. He was very apologetic and said he was out on Thursday, so that's why he was so late getting back to me (in my e-mail I just asked him to help me when he got a chance). The way my building is, it's possible for us not to see each other on any given day. I do believe I caught a glimpse of him on Wednesday morning, though. Anyway, when he was talking to me on Friday, he was stuttering a little and he dropped something (funny thing is, I dropped something too). Anyway, does it sound like he might be attracted to me, and what should I do (other than smiling) to let him know I'm interested? Should I put a thank you note in his work mailbox to thank him again for helping me out (even though it's part of his job), or is that overkill? Reply to this Question

NO NO NO, no email saying thanks if it was part of his job!
Be polite and be friendly but don't CHASE him; give him time to make a move towards you.
He knows where you are and how to find you should he be interested to pursue anything with you. If he is not doing that, please do not "chase" after him; remember: It is your workplace!
Best wishes and keep SMILING.
