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

[Hopelessromantic1988]

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!!!

Say you are sorry you didn't get a chance to chat before he left and ask if he fancies a coffee?

Oh for christ's sake.

It doesn't always work asking someone out, it's not always worth it.

Always works for me, I got him in the car park!! You snooze you lose.

You did the right thing, you two would be terrible together. The type of couple who could never choose a restaurant or decide what film to watch.

Just go up to him as he's about to leave, ask if he's had a good time working at your organisation then say, shame we never got round to chatting, but I'm on Facebook, so stay in touch. Then hand hm your FB details.
That way you don't feel overly forward but he'll realise you won't ignore him if he shows interest.

From now on, I will ask myself - what would JaniceFromAccounts do? And then do it/him...

Oh is it too late? I didn't read all 9 pages!

Some of these are gobsmackingly amazing. Here is my contribution:

Headmaster at secondary school - Dr. Fear. He was totally wet and useless :)

Girl at same school - Susan Breadcake

Woman I had to phone at work - Susie Pine-Coffin

Orthopedic Surgeon in one of the hospitals here - Mr. Limb.

Boy in school I worked at : James (pronounced Hymi) Casablancas.
(sounds so much more dashing than James Whitehouse.

Oh no he's gone? :( what a shame, he could've been your soulmate.

@millifiori yep, too late. Apparently he doesn't have Facebook either haha x

"All of those postrrs giving op a tough time, have you all really just asked a good looking man out?!"

I did! We're married.

I have only ever been asked out once in my life. If I'd have waited for men to do the asking I'd still be single at almost 40 (not that there's anything wrong with being single, of course - but I wanted a family).

dissonant is that just a really appropriate user-name or are you on another thread entirely?!

ItsShouldHaveBeen - totally wrong thread . Sorry. Good luck OP.

have you all really just asked a good looking man out?

I would have struck up a conversation BEFORE his last day, but the OP only called on us at the last minute

god i hope OP grew some balls and asked him. why do men have to make the move?
Its a massive tun on to men to be asked out isn't it? I have asked some absolute gods out 'above my pay grade' (and got dates) while at my total doggiest.
She who dares - wins!
Op Op? whats the news?

Ffs OP-what was the worst that could have happened??? He said no, why give a shit-it was his last day!!!
What's that saying? 'Fortune favours the brave' or something like that...

I honestly wouldn't bother. It doesn't sound like the start of anything. If you've not even chatted, he's probably not interested, and you don't even know if you'd get on anyway. Liking someone's appearance is not enough to go on a date for most people. I think if the attraction was mutual and strong enough, you would have at least chatted.

Next time, try to get chatting!

I worked with a Mrs Cut Bush. and someone called Kum Kok.

really!
My husband absolutely did work with a Michael Hunt who shortened his name to Mike Hunt. Why would you do that?

Op I was rooting for you. We all where. It was like Rachael and Ross all over again.

Awwwww I was so hoping you'd manage to ask him.

If it's meant to be I'm sure you'll bump into him again.

Please don't google him for his email address - that's very creepy.

Have you really spent the entire afternoon asking total strangers if you should ask him out?

Why do these kind of threads get so rabid?! The op had absolutely no obligation to satisfy a load of voyeurs strangers on the Internet!

What age are you OP? I remember this kind of drama when I was 16.
