Should I ask him out?

I really, really like a guy. We've known each other about a year now, both were in other relationships to begin with so initially nothing more than friends. Both now single.
We work together, see a fair bit of each other out of work & text lots too.
He's a good friend, we mess about & have such a laugh. There's definite flirting too, but I keep doubting myself and convincing myself I'm reading too much into it.
My last LTR was EA and has left me with little self confidence and although I have improved a lot I still find it difficult to actually believe it when someone shows an interest. I'm driving myself a bit insane with the does he/doesn't he like me thing!

A little while ago he tried to steer the conversation that way but like a fool I just laughed it off, mainly as it was a bit out of the blue but mostly because I thought he was joking around until I thought about it later Blush needless to say he's not broached the subject since.

Now I don't know what to do! I can't casually ask him for drinks or a meal etc as we already do this. HELP!

Good luck for this evening! DH and I were colleagues many moons ago.

myfriendnigel · 25/11/2016 16:20

Best of luck op!!

Ask him out. With the wisdom and reflection of now being 40 something, I realise that life is too short not to, to waste time lurking and wondering "what if?".

Put on your big girl pants and just do it.

BikeRunSki · 25/11/2016 16:24
