The fact that you're a single mother may or may not have anything to do with it, and you're probably a very nice person.
Maybe not his type. If he wanted to, he WOULD talk to you.

I don't think being a single mother should be something you use to stop you from doing and going after what you want, yeah they are probably loads of guys out there not prepared to even consider a woman with a child that doesn't make him wrong just makes him not the guy for you.
If he likes you he will see past the fact you have a child. If you want to know whats going on, you are going to have to either talk to him or make a big effort to show him you are interested in him.
Good luck :o)

Ok...not to be mean but you are a SINGLE MOTHER. The nicest guy in the world may simply not be interested because you have a child. Get used to it...it is the realm of Dating WITH Kids. It takes a really special man to see past the kids and financial burden they create to even THINK of dating a single mom. Also...maybe he has a girlfriend...wife....war injury. You don't know.
So he knows you exist? Great...what does that mean? He's polite to you and acknowledges you when you are working together? There could be 8 million random reasons he is not interested in taking the relationship farther....and him being shy....well that is way down on the list. Not everyone acts on every little whim of attraction.
Maybe he likes younger girls.
Maybe he's in love with someone else.
Maybe he's gay.
Maybe he knows company policy bans fraternization.
Maybe he likes tall girls with red hair and grey eyes and you don't fit that exact profile.
Maybe he only dates girls who have not given birth.
Maybe he belongs to a strange religion that he must marry someone within his church. (or a virgin)
Maybe he's been dating someone since he was 12 and has no intention of looking elsewhere.
Maybe he has an ill family member, and will not consider dating until the chemo is over.
maybe he has a Full date book and 12 girls on his waiting list and you are not in his bubble.
See there are more reasons than could ever be explored here. The only thing you can do is flirt a bit and see if he responds. If not...find a new focus...because no matter what time we live in...guys should chase you...and you sure don't want a man-chasing reputation AT WORK...it makes it impossible to have girlfriends...for they will fear you will chase their bald, pot-bellied husbands next.
best of luck...and there is someone out there that is just right for you....keep your eyes open and your lashes fluttering....but keep no running shoes on for chasing...its not worth it.

I agree with Toria just talk to him. For some guys this takes a lot of pressure off.

Have you tried talking to him first?
Maybe he is a little shy and worried that if he comes to you, you will just blank him or something, have you tried smiling at him as you catch his eye? This will tell him that you do notice him.
Good luck :o)
