Totally infatuated with man I occasionally work with

I've recently met a man through work. I'd seen pics before we met and colleagues had talked very positively about him and I'd had a feeling he would be my kind of guy. The minute I met him I was completely blown away. He is the kind of man I have fantasised about meeting since I was about 16!
Anyway we swapped numbers for work purposes and exchanged a couple of work related texts. He then text me at 10pm one night complimenting my profile pic and again the next night with quite a flirty but brief message. I replied in a jokey way but had nothing back except a laughing emoji Hmm
I literally cannot get him out of my head. I really want to ask him out but I have no real idea that he'd say yes and I have to work with him quite a bit this month. I'd also be absolutely terrified of actually going out with him if he did say yes. He just seems so far out my league, without meaning to put myself down!
Any ideas on what to do or not to do, or how to get him out my head?!

Irrin- rtft. And the 1950s called. It wants your attitude back.

Tigertill716 I haven't told him how insanely infatuated I've been with him, no Blush I'd sound insane. He on the other hand told me he's been admiring me from a distance since we first met!

Dont worry about playing hard to get. The kind of man who will pursue you when you dont seem that interested is the kind of man who wants a challenge - not a serious relationship and may also have some conteolling tendencies.

The kind of man who respects you for bein up front and honest about your feelings is more likely to want a real, equal relationship. Either way, its better to work out which he is.

Nice update, OP. Best of luck.

Congratulations, I suppose, although I've always thought dating work colleagues is a bad idea on principle.
