how can i let this guy know i'm interested

How can i let this guy i work with know i'm interested? I want to give him a subtle sign. You know -- let him know but not in a bold, in-your-face kind of way. Any ideas? Oh yeah, what signs can i look for from him too?

Well, first of all, some guys just can't read those kind of signs... So, if he can't read it, you shouldn't blame him However, some guys do...

Some tips if you want to give him signs...
  • When you call him, touch his shoulder.
  • Stare at him when you're talking.
  • Sit closer.
  • Give more attention... "have you had lunch?" "no" "do you want to have lunch with me at [name of place/restaurant]? i haven't had lunch too..."
  • When talking to him, keep the conversation going. Don't use short answer & always ask him back.
  • Don't think too much about topic for having a conversation. Just act normally. Don't make him feel that you're uncomfortable when you're around him.
Signs to look from him:
  • If he's a shy guy, he might have problem finding topic(s) for having a conversation with you.
  • He'll try to spend more time with you
  • He'll try to talk more to you.
  • Stare at you a lot, and will look away when you look back.
  • Will put you as a high priority.
  • Will try to help you a lot.
  • Is happy when you're happy.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know! I'm in a similar situation and am one of those dumb guys who don't read signals well so...

It's not always like that. Sometimes guys are just not sure whether the girls really like him or not. So sometimes guys just wait until the girls said so.

Smiling, staring, giving lots of eye conctact, and moving in closer to him. Is that enough?

I'm in agreement with New: some guys don't get subtle hints.

I think if you are already staring him down (lol, hopefully not, but you know: have eye contact), smiling, laughing at his jokes, touching his arm/shoulder, batting your eyes, etc. etc. and he still isn't getting it:

Then it's time to move on to bolder hints. Can it still be a hint, I wonder, if it is bold?. Anyway, maybe wink, or bite your lower lip when he is around? Grab him during your lunch break and throw him in the bathroom? Haha, I don't know. I have never actually been that bold, but I think about it, and would like to do something like that one day.

Other ideas, that are more subtle, are to open your body up to him. LOL, in otherwords, don't cross your arms when he's around. Also, make sure that your body is facing him. Mirroring is another technique that involves mocking his gestures, posture, etc. Obviously, try not to look like a crazy person, which is possible if you go to the extreme of mocking every gesture. But, hopefully, you get the general idea.

Anyway, I hope this helps! Good luck!

If you tried that and he still doesn't get it, just say "Hey, you know what, I think I like you..." Just say it when you're doing something..... don't give an 'exclusive' just to say that line. Say it when you're having lunch.... or doing something...
