There is this guy at work I find so attractive and I'm just wondering if here was my way to start talking to him without coming across as a creep.

 

He works in the same building, different floor, completely different department. There is really no interaction between our departments at all because I am in clinical, he is in legal. I do know that much, don't know his name although I *think* I might know who he is.

 

Unfortunately, we only get to cross paths once every month or two months sometimes, usually on the elevator. I've always thought he was attractive but just last week I was getting on the elevator when he was getting off and I just keep getting more and more attracted to him. I know he is very nice and approachable, he smiles and says "hello, how are you?" It's never any longer than an elevator ride so I never get the chance to really talk to him.

 

So my question is, if I felt brave enough to approach him, is there any way to do that without making it so awkward? Not sure making up a story to go up on his floor would be a good idea, or would it? I do know one girl who works up there that I'm friendly with so if I went up to say hi to her, not sure how I can work my way to talk to him then.

So stick your hand out and say "I'm Sally, I work in Clinical. I've seen you several times, so I assume you must work in the building?" Get a conversation started and give him your name just in case he's single and brave and will ask you out.

Thanks, sounds great!

 

Given that I don't run into him but once every couple months or so, I'm assuming it will be that long until I see him around again. Would you think there is a way to sort of "stage" a run in sooner? Too much work perhaps?

No, there are really all kinds of excuses at work. If you know where he works you can simply walk by and introduce yourself, telling him that you remembered him from the elevator and ask what department he's in. If he appears friendly towards you he shouldn't have the slightest issue with that.
