Crush

[EveryDayIsADuvetDay]

Huge crush on someone I've been volunteering with over the last six weeks or so. First time in years that I've felt this way about someone - but he is really super easy to get on with, and I feel comfortable around him.
Volunteering has probably ended sooner than expected - wondering whether to contact him or not. I'd love to see him occasionally, even if as a friend rather than a potential relationship.
All seems a bit improbable - he is a lot younger than I am (I think) - but there are a number of interests we have in common

YANBU - contact him
YABU - I'm mad, forget it.

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Well he might think I'm bonkers, but as i'd I never see him again, if I did I guess no harm done - and at least I could move on and stop fantasising!

If he gave you his contact details then I'd assume he wouldn't mind you contacting him.
I'd just start off with a casual conversation about what he's been up to and maybe chat about one of your shared interests before asking to meet up.
If he's chatty and receptive you may feel more comfortable asking if he wants to meet for a coffee.

He hasn;t specifically given me contact details - there's a whatsapp group so I have them from there.
(and from that, his website, instagram, twitter, pinterest, facebook.....)

GO FOR IT GIRL YOUVE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE

and from that, his website, instagram, twitter, pinterest, facebook.....)

I'd leave it until it's been a week or 2 since you finished volunteering then just ping him a message asking how he is etc.

He has his own website though??!!

Business website - as is the facebook, etc,
Business not happening with covid, hence the volunteering.
I've not looked on LinkedIn - that shows you who's accessed your profile, I don't want to look like a weirdo stalker.

Ahhh ok. I though he had his own personal website. Thought it was a bit odd

Just do it or you'll always wonder. Nothing to lose and if it doesn't work out at least you gave it a go. Just WhatsApp or text some chit chat. Act natural like you would if it's a female you might be becoming friends with and see how you go. Try and ignore the being a bloke you have a crush on part for now in case it holds you back. Easier said than done I know!

Go for it.

It’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

All cheese aside. Just do it. If it doesn’t work out, at least you can say you tried and gave it a shot.

Life’s too short to sit and wonder.

Please let us know how you get on. ❤️

Is he single?

Yes, definitely single.

LinkedIn only does that if you have set your privacy settings that way. You can be anonymous

thanks serenada - I'd assumed that only came with the premium version. Have just updated my settings.

Yes, definitely single.

In that case, contact him. Wait til the volunteering has been over for a couple of weeks and then just send a friendly email asking how he is. Take it from there. Good luck.

Email ??? WhatsApp message even.
