I like this guy at work. I really like him. I want to tell him how much I like him, but I am not sure how to go about it. He told two of my female coworker friends that he likes me and that he wants to ask me out. I wish he would. Most of the time when I am around him, he acts soo far away and indifferent, that I can never find the appropriate time to ask him. Some days he is really talkative, whistles at me, asks for hugs and flirts with me. Other days it seems he is ten miles away. He is 27 and he has a kid and an ex-girlfriend ( the kid's mom ), who broke up with him five months ago after spending all the money he got from an auto accident insurance settlement. He talks about her alot, and I know he misses her. I got to meet her -- she is totally dirty, fat, and ugly! I never could have immagined him with anyone like her! He would look good with someone like me. I put in my two weeks notice at this job because a bigger opportunity has presented itself to me, but now feel like what we might have will be even more obscure after we no longer have the coworker relationship thing going on. I guess I have a few questions. One, I have a university education in progress -- he has a high school diploma: Does this really matter? Two, does he like me/is he shy/does he want sex only? Three, and most important, what should I do!?

BitsandPieces answered Wednesday September 6 2006, 2:25 pm: One, the degree thing does not matter. As long as he is a responsible person and can keep a good job, it should be fine. Two, you already know he likes you, but that he has put off asking you. Why? Maybe he is too shy, or thinks you are not interested in him for more than friends, or he is too preoccupied with his kid and ex. to start having a social life. I have no idea about the sex thing. Three, you should tell him that you want to continue to see him after you leave, so the two of you should exchange phone numbers and make a date for lunch. Keep it casual and do not push him. He just went through a bad break-up and now is living as a single dad. Be careful not to get too set on him, until you know for sure he is over the ex and ready to move on with you.

1) go out with him. you might get hurt. you might love it.
2)play safe and stay out of his way.
but i really think that just to be sure about the sex thing go out with him atleast 4 or five times before sex.
