i work with 2 people whose chemistry is visible at 80 feet 
They are both single and flirt with each other but neither is taking it any further. Both are quite shy.
Both have admited they like each other ...just not said it to each other
They are 26 and 33 years old
Would you try and "help" or let nature takes its course :rotfl:

Do you and your colleagues go out in the evening as a social group?
If these two people are quite shy, then they would hate to be set up in a one-to-one situation. But if they both come out on a few nights out and find they get along, it would help build up their confidence and might lead to them getting together.:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

They do go out in a group already where they get on amazingly
When I say shy they are not the quietest of people just shy when it comes to this sort of thing
To add also they would make a perfect couple :T0 -
No. Leave them alone.
You're not matchmaking - they already know the other one likes them because of the flirting but they just appear not to have taken it further yet. And as you say, they're not normally shy people so they are perfectly capable of sorting it out.
Let them get on with it on their own.
For all you know, they may already be doing so and are keeping it very quiet because management might not like staff having relationships with one another. I've seen it before in an office where two people who admited they liked one another didn't appear to take it further. The truth only came out when one of them moved to another job in another company.
And more to the point, it isn't anyone's business but their own."carpe that diem"0 -
Do. not. touch. this. with. someone. else's. bargepole.
Seriously, its a very sweet idea, but if it all goes Pete Tong, who will they blame?

I tried to matchmake my then best mate with a lovely guy she quite clearly liked. I misread at the time that I thought he liked her only he liked me. Weve been together 13 years now and I lost my best mateMad Mum to 3 wonderful children, 2 foster kittens and 2 big fat cats that never made it to a new home!
