I know this ex-colleague of mine but not really that close to him. I think i have a crush on him but i dont really know if he likes me at all.
He's confident, witty and a workaholic.
However, he gets shy/uncomfortable, when i ask him simple personal questions for eg: Do you go for swimming. I think he has a problem of talking about himself to new people or just not that friendly.
So one day, i gave him some sweets via his secretary (i didnt really know him that well at that time in office) and he was quite startled and stared at me and waited for me to say something when i bumped at him at the doorway.
He had those puppy eyes..but didnt say word!.
I pretended not to appear interested in him becos i was too shy.!
Later, i sent him email and was able to chat with him about work..and he responded quite well except that when i asked him for lunch, he just disappeared and dint reply yes/no.,,which was kind of weird.
I managed to obtain his cellphone and he replies all my sms except the ones on personal questions.
So how do i even talk to him tru the phone as a friend, if he's that shy? What shld i say to him.
How do i get him to even talk to me like a normal friend?
Would appreciate your advice.

Kayendall06 answered Tuesday April 4 2006, 4:12 pm: You should start by asking him not so personal questions. Once he becomes very used and aquainted to you, then start to ask him the more personal ones. If he still doesn't respond...then all it takes it time. He just needs to adjust to you and your questions. He is just very shy and nervous to talk to you. Tell him that he doesn't have to be shy and that you two are friends and you can talk about things like that. It was sweet about the sweets, and it was a good idea. He is shy about that stuff too. Just remember: Don't come on too strongly.
