Getting out of the 'talking stage' - foolproof tips

[ghazal293]

Hi everyone,

I'm trapped in a seemingly endless talking stage with a work colleague that I can't seem to get out of (we're both fairly shy). I'm sure there's a connection that we both feel but I'm getting frustrated with the lack of making a move!

Does anyone have any work appropriate tips for getting past it/making clear how you feel. It's got to the point where I'm contemplating pheromone perfume which is just a bit tragic.

Any tips/tricks/success stories/seduction tips most welcome

Take a risk
ask him for a drink (this assumes you drink )
wear some thing alluring
and see what happens

alcohol has its moments ….

Well maybe you don't need to be quite as direct and make a deal out of it?

Do you have any common interests, activities you both enjoy? Mention about an event/ restaurant/ gig you could both get excited about, say you're going Saturday and ask if he fancies coming along. Not a full-on 'Dave, we have been talking a while, where is this going' but more of a soft outing to feel each other out.

The talking stage can go on for yeaaars otherwise! I do have some people in the 'talking stage' but honestly it's because I'm only interested as a friend and it makes the day go quicker. But do find out whether he's single, too.
