writes: I really want this guy who I see every week day and have nothing in common with him other than he works at my daughters school. We have exchanged constant stares over the last year, I feel that he is aware that I like him as when I return his gazes he looks away.He is very predictable as he seems to be everywhere I turn up around the school, he talks loud when I am nearby (so sweet). He has no wedding ring and is not in any relationship that I can see on his facebook page. The exchanging glances have been going on for so long I just want something to happen, How do i make him approach me otherwise what do I do?

do this then you might start liking eachother more and become more comfortable around eachother and then he will find it easier to ask you
out.
Hope this helps.

I agree with all cripes suggestions. Or you could ask him to show you where something is in the school even if you already know it like where the school library is or the cafeteria or principles office. Pick the area that is furthest from you. If he is interested which it sounds like he is, he will offer to take you there. Then on the way as you are chatting let him know you are a single mother (he may not know you re single which is why he hasn't been interested) and when you say goodbye give him eye contact and touch his arm. Then wait. Next time you see him, you'll have established enough of a relationship for him to ask you out. If he still doesn't because of school rules or shyness, you'll know him well enough to ask him for coffee. But if it's meant to be it will unfold as it should.And I'm assuming this is all going to happen after your daughter is safely in her class as it's embarrassing to kids to see this. And make sure to take her feelings in account too. Good luck!

 I think you would have to approach him because if he approached you and got rejected and you reported him to the school, his job could be in jeopardy. Just ask him if he'd like to get coffee sometime.

Also, how old is your daughter. Make sure you do NOTHING to make her feel uncomfortable. She is your first priority.

Stop exchanging glances. You're not 16. Approach him and have a friendly chat. You really need a better idea of if he likes you other than the fact that he looks away. If he still keeps looking away, or doesn't seem to take it up then maybe he isn't keen. He would have to either be desperately shy or else not interested if you have been looking at him for a yaer and he hasn't made a move. Be careful and keep it light because if he isn't interested you might feel silly and you'll still have to see him every day.

Why don't you approach him? Start of just saying "hi" when you walk past him. Or approach him at a school event and make a joke like "I always wonder what they put in the orange squash here, but I don't think it's oranges" or "I'm thinking of getting those seventies industrial curtains for my lounge, what do you reckon?" and then just see how it goes. Or if you're not a jokey type just say "HI, are you mr. Neil?" (or whatever his name is).
