a month ago i found out that a guy from work likes me and wants to go out with me, and it's taken me till now to find out who he is and i think he's really nice as well, the only thing is we have never talked at all and we both work at diffent shifts and days so i rarely get to see him. I dont know if i should just go up to him when i see him and ask him if he meant the things he said about me or not, i just dont know weather i would be too forward about it or not?

Just pretend for a moment that he *does* like you and want to date you. If you work different shifts, when would you have time to date?

Hi,
So what do you know about him? Are you sure he's single? Does he know you're single?

Here are a couple ideas.

1. throw a work party and have his friend bring him along.
2. can you make an excuse to stop by his shift a couple times over the next few weeks and smile at him or say hi,by doing so gently letting him know you that like him? That might not be possible at some places of work.

The first half of the battle of getting a date is getting the guy to notice you, you're that far. The next part is especially important with guys who are shy or who realllllly like you, is helping them get over the fear of rejection. You can do this with warm smiles and a touch on the elbow or shoulder when you laugh at one of his jokes. If you watch a girl that gets asked out a lot, she does those things to just about all guys (barf). I only do it if I like a guy. There are some good flirting websites out there and I have found that if you can be you while paying attention to some of their suggestions that seem natural to you, it helps. I was horrible at it when I was young but I am getting better with time and practice.
