Guys/girls: I would love to hear your opinions on my situation...I work with this guy, known him for 5 years and had a huge crush on him, but never acted on it. He showed signs that he felt the same way, but being shy as he is, never asked me out. Now that I am leaving in a few weeks, his attitude has changed. He is more attentive, gives me longing looks and I feel he wants to make a move, and even gave me a box of chocolates , something he never did in the past. You as a guy, would you ask out a lady after many years of knowing her???

Yes, but i think he was more afraid of the job issue (relationships at the workplace etc.) because he didnt want to jeopardize your job(s). If i had the opportunity, i would. There's already one at my job that i've been considering but i dont want to lose my job as well even though its part time.
Wow! 5 years is a very long time, to be attracted to someone, and have no movement on either side.
I would say, its a little late now that you are moving away, but hey! We only live once! Ask him for his address or ph # so you can keep in touch! Good luck!
My girlfriend and I started dating after we knew each other for about 9 years. Granted, we didn't always see each other a lot during that time but it's not like you have to ask someone out within 10 days of meeting him/her.

If this guy is so shy person maybe you should act first?
I'd say so. The length of knowing someone shouldn't determine whether or not you can pursue a relationship with them. In fact, that should help determine compatibility since you actually know more about the person instead of just randomly hooking up with a stranger.
In your situation, if he's as shy as you say then you'll need to make the move.. Are you just leaving the company you work for, or leaving town? If you're still able to stay in touch and meet with him then I'd say go for it.
it just depends on whether or not he understands that you're showing signs of interest.
Also, if he asks you out now, it shows that he respects his job as well as your interests because typically jobs don't want there employees dating each other, but now that you're leaving it's probably not going to be a big deal.
It seems to me that the fact you guys worked together stopped him to ask you out in the past!!!now that the situation changed, he's willing to show his feelings for you!!! Either he is afraid of losing you thats why he is acting more interested or he will miss you lots!! I would date a guy that I know from a long time because there will be no surprises, you already know what to expect and you know his good and bad traits... I would say it feels like you will be asked out soon!!!
