5 days to make him fancy me!

I am very aware that I sound like a love smitten 12 year old!

There is a guy at my work who I have a massive crush on.
He is gorgeous and we get on very well.

I will not go in to too much detail as it’s outing but it is against the rules to have a relationship with clients.

I have kept the relationship professional and I have to be very careful about what I say because I could lose my job over it (no man is worth that), so there’s a big chance that he has no idea that I fancy him.

The issue is is that he’s leaving on Friday.

Once he leaves, it would be less frowned upon to have a relationship but we would have no way of contacting each other, unless we found one another on SM but both of us may think that it’s overstepping the mark.

I don’t know if he even likes me, so my first question is how would I know this?

My second question is what can I do to make him like me/ensure he knows I like him without it being unprofessional?

My third question is if it turns out we both like each other, how can we meet outside of work, without discussing it during work which is against the rules?

Wondering whatever came of this … OP, are you still around? What did you do?

Oh yes, do update us!

Op here. I spent two months after my client left hanging around the bars where he lives hoping to bump into him and unfortunately developed a drink problem so had to knock that on the head and take up reading again!

The exciting news is I’ve now got another amazing connection with a new client and have 8 days to make him fancy me without getting sacked .😍

Is this reply a joke?

Are you already connected on LinkedIn?

If not just mumble something about that as he walks out the door??

Lol that's too funny

Oh I was on this thread last year. I was hoping it was an update to say they were blissfully happy

OP I would just go for bust. Give him a leaving card which offers some way of him finding you eg a "... Best regards, Workdate (@workdate on Facebook). Or at least say "hope our paths cross again". Or just turn up at the place he told you he hangs out at!

For everyone involved (including myself), I am purposely trying to remain as vague as possible.

I understand that it’s frustrating because it’s more difficult to give advice but I don’t want a thread asking for advice to backfire on me or anyone else.

Come on you, PLEASE spill the beans!

(Or make it up, we don't mind. We need KLOJUR!)
