i like this guy and we have had eye contact on and off.. i use to see him regularly then stopped then again then stopped... i could however just be there randomly to conduct my "devious" plan :p
mind you we've talked once before and it was very formal and work related nothing personal or casual and then we haven't talked for a while. long story short he works for my college library and i asked him once for a paper clip and there was a little flirting going on... needles to say that was the last time we interacted.. i was thinking when the semester ends i'll pass by and give him a box of paperclips and say thank you to kind of initiate something but my mind is telling me not to.
i am kind of shy and i think he is too.. i don't want to be awkward or cause awkwardness especially when the guy he works with is a loud jerk who might make a scene or something... and i can't get him on his own! what should i do? abort this stupid idea right?
really it is all up to you, if you wish to bring him a box of paperclips and tell him thank you, do it nothing is stopping you except the jerk he works with, do you really care what he the jerk thinks?
Trauma answered Saturday April 25 2009, 10:24 am: The paper clip thing sounds like a great idea! It's so cute & subtle, & it'll probably be a great icebreaker, & a way to make things a little more casual & comfortable between you to. If you want to ask him out, go for it! It may be hard, but the worst he could do is say no, & that's not the end of the world. It's a lot better to know than to sit around wondering 'what if?'. I usually don't suggest things like this, but maybe write him a little note saying you'd like to talk to him (alone), & then ask him out on a date or something.
