Thanks for sharing

Cool 👍

Are you hoping he will get his hands on your software?

HeyMicky · 05/03/2024 16:03

No you don't. It's proximity

Lampslights · 05/03/2024 16:04

That’s great. Do you usually make public declarations when you fancy someone?

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 05/03/2024 16:05

Are you both single?

The IT guys in one company where I worked, a couple were tarts, one dated my friend. I personally thought they were creepy and all sat around in their dept being the big I am when all they did was solve our fairly simple IT issues.

She can do what she likes, my friend dated one from the same company, same office. Loads of people date within the same company.

I don't usually fancy anyone!
I left the company last week and he whatsapped me to ask what the story was

If you're both single, go for it

Well in that case, go for it. Why wouldn't you?

FrothyDonkeyMilk · 05/03/2024 16:08

I work in IT. If there is a hot guy, every one fancies him - they contact so many people across the business and get to 'save' them from IT problems, so usually they have quite a few dalliances. More if they are single.

Lampslights · 05/03/2024 16:08

Oh ok so you think thr contact might mean he fancies you? It might, ask him for a drink,

Ilovemyshed · 05/03/2024 16:09

His contact is the perfect opening to say you'll meet him for a drink/ coffee and spill the beans. Good luck!

There is never hot men in it. It’s the first rule of it. They all have long hair and wear heavy metal t shirts and leather waist coats.

PoochiesPinkEars · 05/03/2024 16:09

OoooOOOooooo so he's hot and funny and competent. Rrrrrrrrrrr.

WingsofRain · 05/03/2024 16:09

We aren’t all hideous, OP (and we aren’t all male!).
If you have a mutual attraction, great.

Because I don't really know how, I've only spoken to him once before so we dont have a connection and now I don't work in the same company so what am I going to say, "hi can we meet up so you can teach me more about phishing emails sometime"

You’ve left the company so go for it! You’re both free agents as they say.

Well he contacted first.

so just flirt and banter. Send something funny like “oh I don’t spill the tea that easy 😂”

NotestoSelf · 05/03/2024 16:13

Sneak back into your former workplace and seduce him in the photocopier room?

When someone rang me after I’d left a company and we chatted it was general chit chat we swapped mobiles and then I think he suggested a drink or coffee. Maybe suggest somewhere you’ve not been before or even talk about eg the Oscars, or films unrelated to Oscars you’ve not seen or would like to see.

Mrspatmoresspoon · 05/03/2024 16:14

If he works for Facebook then he’s prolly busy

Redtedbed · 05/03/2024 16:14

Tell him you're not working properly and need turning on again.

IME 95% of them are like this.

And there there is the 5% that break that rule.

Yes I know this but surely OP can work this out for herself?
