Crushing on a co-worker
So I just started this job a month ago. I've been working at the front desk and this co-worker Sean who has been passing by the desk has caught my eye. Well I told another co-worker Mason about my little crush on Sean and he hangs out with Sean outside of work. Last night they went out and I was brought up in conversation last night...and Sean said he thinks I'm cute with my glasses on and that I'm cute ingeneral. Mason hinted I was was interested and Sean told him to tell me he was single.
What should I do? He works during the weekend and I work every other weekend and sometimes on Fridays!

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
First, you should know how your work is in regards to dating policies. Many jobs will not allow office romances and will be forced to fire one, if not both, employees if they are found to be in a romantic relationship in work. So, pull up the work policies on company dating and check it out before doing anything more.
If there is nothing about it then you need to ask someone like your boss. You don't have to say you're pursuing a person at work but you can say you didn't see any information it and were curious about company policies regarding that.
If they state they don't mind inter office dating then you can proceed by approaching Sean with you telephone number or asking him for his. This way you two can get to know each other outside of the work environment. Personally, I'd go for the ask-him-and-give-yours so that if he misplaces your number then you can still give him a call. Otherwise, he could be the type that forgets to call interested women and you can end up having to start this entire get-to-know process in a more difficult manner. I mean, think about it, how do you approach someone with, "You never called!" right? Right.
If you ever take breaks with him, especially lunch break, then it's the perfect time to invite him to grab a quick bite to eat with you. You two can chat over lunch break and exchange phone numbers if you two so desire. It also gives you the opportunity to find out if Sean is really a jerk in disguise.
Ask him out to something neutral like lunch or dinner rather than a movie. A movie doesn't allow you to get to know the person at all. You can't chat during a movie. If he pushes for a movie, for whatever cause, then make plans to have dinner before or after. :)
Approaching him is seriously your next step. You're interested he knows it. He's open and you know it. It's time to make your move.
