should I?

Should I ask this man out, whose business I go to and that is the extent of our conversations? I have known him in this casual kind of way for several years, only this year have seen him a lot more and we have gotten friendlier. I feel that we both like each other, but it is at an awkward stage now. Well, for me it is. I went in today to look for something to buy and we just chatted for a few moments, but believe me, I was so nervous, I think I must have acted like I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. I am going a little crazy over it. I am going to have a small group of people over for Labor Day and was thinking of sending him an invitation. I am assuming, if he is interested, he will call me, even if it is to say no. Someone told me not to mail it, but to give it to him in person, but I really dont think I can. I was such a silly wreck today. I think I am going to mail it. Will I jeopordize something if I do that? I just think I will not be able to do anything if I have to do it in person.

I wouldn't mail it. That leaves excuses such as it was lost in the mail, never received it, blah, blah, blah.
I think if you really want him to come, why not mention the next time you see him that you're having a small gathering for Labor day and you were wondering if he'd like to come. If he says, yes, then you can hand deliver him the invite.
I believe in doing things confrontational in that way, there can be no misunderstandings where someone can say, Oh I didn't check my email, or my mail box or my voice mail. See my point? That is if you really want to ask him.
