Hi!

 

I am a 31 year old female. I work in a big company for 3 years now.

 

That guy at work seems really into me: looks at me, nodes, smiles, says hi. He is doing that for a few (1-3) months now.

 

I don't know him, but he seemed to insist so much that i ended up being interested as well.

 

He is a bit older (ealry 40s), seems very polite, very nice. Not particularly good looking at the start but amazing eyes that brighten up when we see each other...and the more i looked at him, the more he seemed hot :)

 

We had 1-2 weeks where we actually started smiling and waving to each other, and saying hi. I was responding and was looking forward to see him each morning.

He almost came to talk to me but a friend showed up out of nowehere and he turned around. That was obvious.

 

He seems very busy, and I only saw him rarely lately, no occasion to go and talk to him.

Yesterday i learned that he got propmoted to another city, About 5 hours drive from here.

I probaly won t see him again, for a long time...

 

I am under the impression that we missed something here,

I don t know anything about him.

He never told me his name, but i did my search and i know it now.

 

Should i send him a small message on linkedin?

Should i go to his colleagues (the cooler younger ones that are my age) and ask them where he disapeared? (they don't know me)

As i said, i don t know anything about him, maybe he is a married + kids jerk who flirts around...???

 

But i keep thinking about him...

 

What would you do?

I was going to suggest breaking the ice and initiating a conversation... But he got promoted and now is 5 hours away. I think you have missed a possible connection. I probably wouldn't reach out now. You're so far apart I don't know what can be done about it when you did not even have a conversation with him.

These days probably nothing but, respecting a desire for an action answer, I'd likely do an on-site contact with colleagues who knew him with an innocent question or two, like 'Wow, xxx disappeared overnight. I heard he was promoted and moved to another city. That must've been tough for his family". Then listen. As a woman, if the colleagues are men, they'll like start coughing up all kinds of details while smiling and flirting a bit because, well, you're a woman. Use it.
