Hey, I'm just a normal type of guy. Single, with no kids, and run my own video production company. I've been dating off and on for about 7 years, and have yet to find someone interesting.

But there's this one woman who works in the same building as me. She's single and really SHY. Everytime I see her, it's like looking at a sunset in Los Angeles, CA for the first time. She's beautiful. I've spoken to her dozens of times, but just been small talk, and the basic hey, (hello, how was your weekend stuff) when passing each other at work.

About a year ago, I told her how I really felt about her, because I couldn't hold it in anymore. She smiled and didn't respond. A few months later, she starts to open up, starting to trust me as a friend.

Long story short. I really haven't been focusing on her for the pass year, but about two weeks ago, something told me to fight for this woman's love. I'm not trying to force her to like me or love me, but to give her an opportunity to.

I need some advice, I do not want to push up on her too hard and she runs off. But I think that's what I have to do. If she runs off, **** it. It's her lost, not mine. But she is a PYT and I feel I would be missing a part of something amazing with this girl.

... oops.

 

IMO you've blown it already but hey, who knows.

I would have taken a picture of the sunset in LA and framed it on my wall, but that's just me...

 

Anyway, in psychology they call this the propinquity effect. The more you see the more you like. Which could explain why we tend to become attracted to our co-workers or someone we see a lot (my neighbor).

 

A year ago, you told her how you felt. Did you ask her out then?

 

Have you asked her out at all?

I believe he's only blown it if he was going to blow it anyway. She could just be very shy.. If she was going to reject him over that, then it doesn't really matter how he'd have approached her, unless one approach would work whereas one wouldn't...

 

Doesn't sound like it was creepy or lame, just straight forward, and she didn't reject him. Either she was too timid to reject him, or she was put in a situation that she's not used to.. Therefore making it awkward.
