And I use to have a huge crush on him.

Now I am past 40 so not a young teenager.

I have not worked at the company for over a year, so quite curious as of why he has sent me a request?
And do I tell him in a non creapy way that I use to have a crush on him? I mean, what is the worst that can happen?

I am just wondering why I would get a request. I have accepted and we have breafly spoken via fb messages.

Please tell me to grow up, stop thinking too much into his request and get a life OK.

If you're both single, go for it!

Maybe he's only just joined fb? If you're both single just chat to him and just see what happens from there.

He has been on fb a few years now. But we have a mutual friend, so perhaps he was adding me bacause of that and I am reading way too much into this.

Nah it blatantly isn't. If this guy had wanted to be friends he would have been while he worked with OP.

I've had many a bloke do this. (Yep I'm that gorgeous Grin)

Has he by any chance just come out of a relationship ?

HooseRice · 21/12/2015 21:21

Say YESSSSSS

pocketsaviour · 21/12/2015 21:42

Assuming you're both single, go for it!

tanyadm · 21/12/2015 21:42

He asked her out, it wasn't just a friend request.

Awesome!

ohYestoYestyn · 23/12/2015 19:27

do you think he could tell you had a crush on him? maybe he just didn't feel brave enough then or wasn't single.
Excited for you!

tobysmum77 · 24/12/2015 09:00

Hahahaha are you all that op? GrinGrinGrin

I've had ex work colleagues both male and female send me friend requests and have never thought anything of it.

But hey if you like him then send him a pm... Nothing to lose and lots to gain Xmas Wink
