My Advice? Leave the friends and third parties out of it!. You WON`T look silly, I promise you. He`s Shy, You`re Shy; when you go up to him at work, with a passing comment (weather/polatics/working conditions), you know you have no need to be shy; just starting a conversation, and when he comes back with his comments; then you will have "broken the Ice". When Natural Conversation flows between the both of you, you can take it from there!! Good Luck to you both, With Love, Heather.

Just talk to him. Casually; a nice smile and a hello everyday or a "how are you today" and he will soon get the message that you are interested. He seems like a shy type of guy, if he is then coming on too strong may make him run a mile so keep it nice and friendly for a few weeks.If he still doesnt get the message then start talking to him about his shifts - ask him when he is free and if he'd like to go for a drink/coffee/movie/whatever.Good luck!
