I feel sick...

Not so much as a bug, but feelings... there is this guy I like, and I don't know if he likes me or not, but I have a feeling he doesn't... Probably because we don't know eachother that well. The only time I get to see him is when he's working, (He works at safeway). So it's rather hard to talk to him, and I can't ask him out, because, well, we don't know each other well enough for that. Any ideas on how I could possibly get to know him better? (I feel rather stupid for posting this on here, but no one I know personally either can't or won't help me). And yeah, it's probably something I have to figure out on my own, but any ideas I can "grow" on is what I need.

Ana,

Not that I'm anyone you'd want to take advice from, but I don't have a problem offering it!

My first observation is that since you show the markers of being a Christian, praying about this would be part of the plan. Somehow I imagine that's already happening.

Here's an approach that seems suited to a soul that's a bit timid ...

Communication is a continuing cycle of Reach and Withdraw, Reach and Withdraw... So I would not make it a point of being sure to talk to him everytime you're in there, no matter how difficult this might be! Sometimes just be close enough to figure he sees you there, but don't approach. Another time meander up and chit-chat a bit. The fact that you withdraw at times allows him to reach, if he is so inclined. And who knows, if he enjoys your smile and your hello and he has a little gumption, he might walk up to you sometime when you show up on the periphery! This tack is demonstrated by the old saying "He can't chase you if he's running away from you all the time!"

Reach and Withdraw ... nobody likes a conversation when the other person does all the talking, and equally, nobody likes a conversation when the other person won't speak up!

There's nothing sure fire about any of this, but at the very least you'll get to know him. And as some time goes by your conversations can become more familiar.

Good luck (I'll say a prayer for you!)

Thank you! I'll try that

Ive got similar situation Theres that shop asisstant who, at least it seems like, is flirting with me but cuz I dont know if thats just for fun or not I decided to play along and we will see what happens. I go to that shop very often as its on my way from work and every time shes there we talk a bit and joke and its nice. But theres no need to rush things, what will be will be Just play it cool, cuz if you get too aggressive you will scare him and that you would not want for sure

YAY for Pete offering advice! that was very nice!

And I agree with what DBC said. Establishing conversation and getting to know the other person is step one AND the most important to reach any kind of relationship.

Thanks for the advice guys! ;D
