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

As you walk out the door, ask him if he fancies a drink before going home? The worst that can happen is he says no!

MakingBaconPancakes · 25/04/2017 15:55

Wow. Do it!!! He can only say no or yes. And you might never see him again.

Nousernameforme · 25/04/2017 15:55

soooo?

LarkDescending · 25/04/2017 15:56

Get on with it, OP!

"Hey I realised I never properly introduced myself. We never let anyone leave here without at least buying them a drink. Are you free after work and I'll see who else is around?"

BillyButtfuck · 25/04/2017 15:56

Stop considering it and bloody well get on with it woman!

EB123 · 25/04/2017 15:56

Just do it!

MTBMummy · 25/04/2017 15:58

I did it many many years ago, now have two kids and very happy :)

BillyButtfuck · 25/04/2017 15:58

Hopefully what he is reading is in fact this thread and is currently planning an escape route away from the biggest procrastinator ever!

Or OP has pulled down up her big girl pants and is telling him all about the great new wine bar up the road.

Trills · 25/04/2017 15:58

Have you actually exchanged any words?

At all?

Don't ask him.

He's probably not interested.

If you go for a drink you'll find out you have nothing in common and you'll have ruined the fantasy.

MTBMummy · 25/04/2017 15:59

In other words do it!!!!!

Hopelessromantic1988 · 25/04/2017 15:59

I put Vaseline on my lips and he has literally gone and done the exact same. I'm really sure he likes me too.

I'm not going to send a note but I will just say bye and it was lovely meeting you.

Write a post it 'Do you fancy going for a drink?' stick it on him and avoid all eye contact in case of rejection.

I think that's what I'd do

upperlimit · 25/04/2017 16:00

Aaahhh, you are going to run out of time! Put your fucking jacket on with a fake letter to post so you can join him on the way out.

robinia · 25/04/2017 16:00

Whaaaattt!

Deux · 25/04/2017 16:01

Hold your breath, stand up quickly and declare you feel all woozy and light headed.

He'll leap up and attend to you. Then you can offer to buy him a coffee/pint.

If he acts all confused/horrified just blame temporary oxygen deprivation.

kateclarke · 25/04/2017 16:01

No! Give him your number or email or you will never know

twocockers · 25/04/2017 16:01

You're joking that you're going to let him just leave 😡

Deux · 25/04/2017 16:01

Take your top off and see if he copies?

MakingBaconPancakes · 25/04/2017 16:01

Just ask him. It works. He's probably too scared to ask you out.

rainbowgiraffe · 25/04/2017 16:01

He could be your soulmate. You're just gonna let him walk out?? Ask him. Hope it's not too late.

Hopelessromantic1988 · 25/04/2017 16:02

He literally copies my every movement. It's like a mirror.

I thought he'd be gone now. I cannot be here anymore than 10 mins. I have a meeting. 😭
