Why can't I talk to men I really fancy?

Unless drunk? Anyone else have this problem. I am rubbish at flirting. I like someone at work and I think he likes me but I would feel totally foolish flirting in front of colleagues. ggggrrrr. I'm enjoying the sexual tension though!

We spoke in a club a few weeks ago and we almost kissed but pulled away. Anyway it's not just him; I find all attractive men hard to talk to without becoming a giggly wreck.

Giggly wrecks can be very attractive.Be brave he is probably as nervous as you.

I don't think you're alone... I can either and tend to come across as stand offish because I'm trying so hard no to make a t*t of myself.

To be fair we did exchange very big cheesy grins, hellos and how are yous the other day which was great! The stupid thing is I have been avoiding him a tiny bit as I don't want to appear too keen. well sod that; I am going to start flirting agian. he's soooooooo hot! I just want to drag him into the office cupboard!

He probably knows that it's social convention for him to make the move. You don't have to do all the hard work, but you can make it easier for him.

Next time you're near each other, say hello, say you're looking forward to finishing work for the week but have NOTHING to do on the weekend. hehe! Create chances for him to ask you out on a date!

Loads of people get this problem, blokes too.
It's the law, isn't it? If there's someome you want to impress you will turn into an instant twat.

Me too.
