Deeply in love with my co-worker

I sound like a ridiculous teenager but this has truly taken over my life.

I've been working with a co-worker for about a year and a half. He's brilliant - kind, hilarious, good looking. We often send at least an hour every day chatting about our general lives and just about any topic of conversation. Sometimes I think he likes me, other times he'll drop a comment where relevant in the conversation which makes it sound like he keeps work and personal lives separate. I leave this company at the end of the year and fully intend to ask him out at that point, but in the meantime it's killing me.

Everytime he tells me he's going out for dinner or to a bar, I wonder if he's going on a date and the thought destroys me. He's been single for a few months but actively dating around and I'm scared he will find someone he likes before I get a chance to ask him out. I really need to get a grip but it's seriously effecting me.

Any advice?

You've all convinced me and I'm going to do it! When I'm next in his area, I'll suggest we go for a drink. If he's not interested he'll turn me down and I can play it off as just a colleague thing and if he is, well this could maybe be the beginning of something. God I'm shit scared though, what if he's not interested, i'll be absolutely devestated.

Bite the bullet and tell him! At the end of the day you’re leaving in 3 months, who’s going to know if you do get together, despite their “rule”. You’ve done well to have restrained yourself so far!

Yip. Good call Op & good luck. Report back!

Aaargh I'm having second thoughts. I keep picturing him saying 'absolutely not', I think I was imagining that he was ever even interested in me.
