He says Hi whenever i'm walking past etc but has never approached me to ask for my number or anything. I don't want to think to much into the matter as it might be nothing but if I don't get the courage to go talk to him I might have let a great opportunity pass by. I still can't believe I'm asking such a question but what do I do next?! Reply to this Question Share |

Props are great conversation starters. I use a hat when I go out. A necklace in a pool is nice. Intimate. Ask him to remove it using a casual voice. Then go from there. Talk to him about his fitness routine to start things off. Its his job to carry n dominate convo. If hes shy be warned usually means lack of confidence.

I think next time I see him I will just bite the bullet and make conversation. One of my friends suggested a prop-method e.g. wearing a necklace or something to the pool that I would need help taking off, so I could ask him... Thoughts on that idea?
Thank you again.

Assuming he doesn't, I'd give him a little time to ask for your number, etc...but if, after a couple weeks go by, this is still going on, don't be afraid to say, "What are you doing Friday night?" Invite him out to a party with you and your friends, or something like that :)
