Work/sports buds or more???

I've had a huge crush on this guy I work with for months. He sometimes says really cute things to me and compliments me (but I don't know if he says this to all girls or just me) and he is so attractive.. I get sooo nervous when I'm around him.. I can't even speak sometimes!! We've recently discovered that we both like volleyball so we've been getting together to play a couple times a week. We are definitely getting to know each other better and are mildly flirty which is very exciting! The problem is that it's really hard to tell if we are just vball/work buds or if he wants to date.. it's driving me crazy because since we see each other at work, I am very nervous to let him know I have more than friendly feelings. Since I want to spare the awkwardness at work, how can I find out if he wants more than just "vball buds" without directly asking him and if he's spending time with me outside of work, is that enough to know he has feelings?

aunt honesty agony auntOk well it does sound to me like he is still interested. It was probably just the fact that his friend had made him food and he had those plans and he didnt want to be rude and just abandon his friend after they made the effort off cooking for him. He made it clear that he would like to grab something some time with you, therefore the best bet now would be to leave it up to him and hope that he asks you out sometime.

Thank you Aunt Honesty for your feedback!! I took your advice but I think I kinda botched it! LOL! We played vball today and afterward we went our separate ways and as I got into my car I felt stupid for not just asking him to come eat with me before we said goodbye. SOOoo I texted him "I'm going to get some pizza. You want to come?" He didn't reply for a while because he was riding his bike and when he did he said "Oh my gosh I just got your message. I rode over to my friends house and he has mexican food for me but pizza sounds way better. I would love to get a slice with you anytime." Then I said "me too anytime :) enjoy ur mex!" So now I feel kinda rejected/disappointed. A few of my friends said that the fact that he said he would like to get pizza anytime is enough to know that he's into me but I think that if he liked me than he would have come in a heart beat or taken the opportunity to ask if I wanted to hang out later this week or something. Maybe I'm just jaded from past relationships :/ I guess I will just have to see what he does cuz i think I've been pretty clear that I want to hang out with him... grrr I hope the next update is a more positive one!!!

aunt honesty agony auntWell this is a tricky one. Its a good sign that you are both meeting outside of work so thats a positive and if you are both beginning to flirt that is also a good sign. But it sounds like it is still early days, and if you dont want anything to be awkward then it is best not telling him how you feel just yet. Especially because you have to work with him.

Drop small hints that you like him, keep up the flirting and always make sure that you look directly in to his eyes and smile at him. Also maybe suggest lightly some time after volley ball that you should have dinner together. Just keep it casual and maybe say to him would he like to come over to yours for dinner. Goodluck
