Asking a guy out?

Ah, well this is the thing. Although I left that job, I work in quite a small field so chances are that our paths could cross again.

You say he's a nice guy so he should feel flattered that you are interested. If he's not interested, I'm sure he wouldn't make you feel embarrassed next time you meet as he's a good guy.

Just go for it instead of procrastinating!!! Good luck x

Me again, sorry. I've added him on facebook. Now how do I do this?

Instinct is to keep it casual, but I don't really want to end up in the friendzone either. How on earth do I do this?

Someone has to make the first move, why can't it be you?

Send him a half naked picture of yourself, if he doesn't bite then he's not interested.

We've been messaging back and forth, but I haven't asked - I know, I'm a wuss!

Ask him out! You really don't want to end up in the "friend zone", trust me! Make it clear you're after more than friendship. Go on, be brave!

Well at least that's a start. It's only been a couple of weeks, so it is good that you are messaging each other. I'm not sure asking him out straight away would have been a great idea. What sort of things are you messaging about (I don't use FB, so am not too sure how it works)?

I would try and move the conversation to the films or theatre plays and see if there is anything that he would like to see. You can then suggest that you go to see it together.

So far we've been discussing work (we did meet there and work in the same field), illness (we've both been ill with colds - sexy, eh?), holidays briefly, music briefly and weekend plans.

I keep retyping something out about meeting up - I'm such a chicken...

Ok, I sent it. Like ripping of a band aid, just hit 'return' without thinking. Now the awful wait...
