I have a coworker that I am very interested in getting to know. I have heard from several people that he is interested in me too but the thing is we are both shy. We make eye contact and smile at eachother but that is as far as it goes. There has been several times where I have come close to telling him how I feel and asking him out but I am too shy when it comes to situations like this. We dont know eachother personally but we have been working together for about 2 years now and I recently began feeling this attraction toward him. I know I should just say something but I would get nervous. What should I do?

i think that you should just start talking to him before you tell him how you feel. get to know him, like what he likes to do. and if you find that he likes to do the same thing as you, ask him to do that thing (i.e. bowling).
then if you find that you actually like him after getting to know him, then you can tell him how you feel. and then see where it goes from there.
hope i helped. [ fall_to_pieces's advice column | Ask fall_to_pieces A Question ]

He soon will know that you're not afraid to go up to him and try and get to know him a little better. Hopefully one of you will ask eachother out. Hope it works!! (fingers crossed)

Then after you know him a little asking him out (if he doesn't ask you) will be easier. Is there a friend at work that could go up to him with you and sort of help you break the ice? After they get you talking they could just sort of disappear. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
kitty_kat123 answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 10:08 pm: I may be JUST a 19 year old girl but I happen to be VERY experienced with this type of thing! If you know his address, send him a little gift or something with a card that tells him how you feel. If you DON'T know his address, put the card in his desk/table or whatever yall have. Put it somewhere where he sees it! Tell him to write back... when he does, tell me what he says!

sweetestthang574 answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 9:45 pm: I think you should find out alot about him! and try making small talk with him! Its hard, but just say anything that comes on your mind! He might just ask you out for coffee, or dinner, or movies!try not to be shy! work up confidence and keep telling yourself you can do it! which you CAN!
little_lightning_bug answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 9:19 pm: just be calm and cool. if you like this guy the only thing that is gonna be really hard is the first sentence after that im just sure you both will come out of your shell. try asking him to dinner or a movie, something simple. then you can get to know each other.
