AIBU?

I have 50 minutes exactly to get this guy to ask me on a date

What do I do?

He's been here a week in supply work. Instantly thought he fancied me as he always chose to sit by me. He would wear headphones when on his own but when I sat down immediately took them off and sat next to me. But he never ever spoke to me.

We both spent every lunch hour sat in silence, blushing the entire time and awkwardly avoiding eye contact. I'm the most extrovert person you can find but I can't even speak to him. He makes me too nervous.

I'm not completely sure he fancies me but I think he does.

He leaves work in 50 mins. I don't work in his department so not really appropriate for me to say goodbye as I've not even spoken to him.

What the hell do I do? . I promise I'm not 13!!! Grin

Ask him! or if the embarrassment is too high, add him on Facebook and then message him to ask him

goshthatseemsalot · 25/04/2017 15:26

why don't you ask him?

Sleepdeprivedredhead · 25/04/2017 15:26

Yuck. Don't bother. If you're not interested enough to ask him then you're just after an ego massage.

Chasingsquirrels · 25/04/2017 15:27

You ask him out, what's with getting him to ask you? Although if you haven't been able to speak to each to each other all week the chances of either if you asking the other out don't seem high.

Pass him a note Grin

PeachMelba78 · 25/04/2017 15:28

Pass him a note? Could be easier as you've never met, but I can't imagine not speaking to someone I was attracted to, if I was single.

Have you got time to get to your nearest local sweet shop? Buy a pack of Love Hearts and find one that adequately expresses your intentions - be mine, kiss me, nice guy etc

Alternatively ask your friend to ask his friend if he likes you or not Grin

I think you're going to have to bite the bullet and ask him or email him at the very least. Good luck!

BestZebbie · 25/04/2017 15:28

Ask him! With ten minutes left to go of the day, then you never ever have to see him again if it is horrific and he runs away screaming.

Really, truly, if you can't speak to him, drop a note on his desk as if you are 13...

PeachMelba78 · 25/04/2017 15:28

Oops I meant never spoken!

ProudBadMum · 25/04/2017 15:28

Ask him if he wants to go for a drink

Hopelessromantic1988 · 25/04/2017 15:29

He's too hot to physically talk to. Every time I considered it my mother froze! He's perfection!

He spent every lunch break headphones off and staring everywhere except at me. I don't know if he likes me. Argh!

No the embarrassment would be too high. I don't think I'd have the courage to ask him outright.

I think I will just cry instead

You need to find out if he's even single or interested. I think you've left it a bit late, unless you can strike up a combo and ask him if he wants a drink sometime...

SugarMiceInTheRain · 25/04/2017 15:29

Ask him if he fancies a drink after work.

GiraffeorOcelot · 25/04/2017 15:30

Just ask him! What is the worst that can happen?, he says no. But if he says yes then you get to know him better.

I was brave 23/24 years ago and we have been married 20 years now!

GoodDayToYou · 25/04/2017 15:30

"Hi, I heard you're leaving today? Do you fancy going for a drink after work? ... (He'll say he's leaving sooner etc but if you get a positive vibe say...) Well, if you're around later give me a call, you've got the office number. I'll be here till 6 (or whenever)."

AGnu · 25/04/2017 15:31

Yes, this definitely needs a note with a multiple choice question & tick boxes.

Hopelessromantic1988 · 25/04/2017 15:31

MOUTH!!!!

Be confident women and Just ask him if he'd like to go for a drink or something some time?

EB123 · 25/04/2017 15:31

Give him a note with your number on before he leaves. I did that in my younger single days and it worked a treat :)

Hopelessromantic1988 · 25/04/2017 15:32

I can't write a note! That's too cheesy ladies.

PeaFaceMcgee · 25/04/2017 15:33

You'll never get anywhere with anyone at this rate so you might as well step up here and now. What's the worst that could happen? You may never see him again.

Pinkheart5915 · 25/04/2017 15:33

If you really want to see him again, you need to ask him!

Just grit your teeth and ask him out. What's the worst thing that can happen?

BuckinghamLass · 25/04/2017 15:34

Just ask him! If he shoots you down you'll never see him again.
