If he was really interested he'd ask me out..?

[Mizz Layta]

There's this guy at my work who just got hired 5 months ago. Initially, We hardly talked to one another and I was indifferent towards him. This all changed few weeks later when I ran into him in stairway-the first thing he asked was if I go to the gym, to which I replied yes and asked him why he was asking. He proceeded to tell that he saw me the previous day at the gym while he was on treadmill and I was on different machine -but wasn't sure if it was me and that I looked very familiar . I confirmed that he was indeed right. The funny thing is ,I didn't even notice him at the gym that day. After chatting briefly ,I came to conclusion that he variably visits that gym as me -He visits other locations .So it was mere coincidence that we ended up at the same gym that day. Similarly, I also use various locations .I've gone back to the same location few times but my gym schedules haven't coincident with his.

 

In addition,We work in completely unrelated departments.(we have little, if any, work related contact) However, we seem to run into each other walking in and out of conference rooms, hallways ,elavotors and staff rooms. He now always make it a point to smile ,ask how I'm doing .I see him see him around 1-3 times a week if I'm lucky.

 

 

 

 

There's no indication that he is anything towards me other than just-being a -pleasant friendly professional capacity but I'm curious about him, and therefore want to talk to him more, spend some time with him. For the past week, I've been trying to get his attention by talking to him more but I haven't been getting back any signs that he's romantically interested in me . I ask him questions to prolong what he's talking about but he is always in hurry to leave because of work.He hasn't asked any personal questions about myself nor has he asked for my number.Few days ago, he saw me eating a hamburger on my lunch break. Then when he ran into me upstairs , he said "hi' again and he brought up how I was eating a hamburger and how he wanted to grab it from me. Then today, when he saw me he was like" I made myself some hamburger yesterday when I got home because of you,LOL.I just can't tell if he only likes me as friend or romantically.

 

 

.I know I will probably get lectures on why I shouldn't get involved with a college but like I said, we don't directly work together and I will be leaving the company in a year to pursue another career when I finish College. Given that he hasn't made a move, Is it safe to assume he isn't interested? I've had few co workers ask me out but I wasn't interested in any of them.If he was really interested he'd ask me out right ? Or are there exceptions? this is mostly for the guys

You want him to make a move, don't you? You little rascal. Talk to him more often. Ask about his weekend and what he actually did. He will gradually get the hint.

Smile at him, give him the 'second look"......eventually he will see you at the gym and will have more conversations with him. Is there a lunch room at your work? try to catch him in there.
