I fancy him - what do I do?

Sunflowers2047 · 21/07/2022 14:43

I really fancy this guy who comes into my work occasionally from another department. I don't even know if he's single. Is it really dorky or weird to ask someone we know mutually and also work with if he's single? I don't know if he fancies me though he called me "chuck" today

Give him the eye and smile?

easyday · 21/07/2022 15:24

Chuck? Is that sort of a term of endearment?
Yea just ask your mutual co worker. Nothing to lose really. And if he's available then just be friendly.

How old are you? I wrote something like this to a teenage magazine when I was 15 and fancied a boy in the year below and got good advice. Maybe try just seventeen as this is an adult forum..

Interested in this thread?

What's up? Why you being such a nasty (insert word here)

Nah, op is clearly way older than 17, as otherwise she would have already stalked his social media... Get on Facebook/Insta!

I live in the Northwest, chuck is used in the same way as Love ,its kind of a generic endearment, if you don't know someone's name or you are being friendly .

@anon2334 why are you so rude? I'm not surprised you're name is "amon" clearly a keyboard troll. Did your mother not teach you if you have nothing nice to say to not say anything at all? F*ck off.

Why would it be weird or 'dorky' OP? If you have a mutual acquaintance just ask them, genuinely seems like normal conversation to me. I've 100% asked this to/about people I have absolutely no romantic interest in, just chatting about their life and getting to know them.

Or ask him.

scoobycute · 21/07/2022 17:12

@anon2334 what is wrong with you?

GordonBennetttt · 21/07/2022 17:14

No harm in asking op, not weird or dorky.

Squiff70 · 21/07/2022 17:28

Ask him politely if he fancies a drink. No need to directly ask if he's single. If he isn't he'll politely decline or make it clear to you a drink would be as colleagues or at best, friends. Chuck 😁

HardTimesHarder · 21/07/2022 17:29

I’d ask your mutual friend, OP!

Clearly @anon2334 is not a very happy person if they feel the need to be so nasty to a stranger!

I'd ferociously stalk him online first. See if he is even worth pursuing.

Ooo mysterious!

Could be good could be bad. More detective work required!

Unlikely to see our mutual friend anytime soon unfortunately. Will have to wait!

It’s simple, just ask him what’s he’s doing at the weekend, when he replies “yogurt weaving” or whatever, follow up with “just you and your girlfriend?”

Easy, and has the added bonus of learning his hobbies so you can use your new found interest in yogurt weaving as an excuse to talk to him again if he is single.
