I work in the head office of a fairly large company. Over the past several months there was this girl who worked on the other side of the floor who i thought was incredibly attractive. We would always seem to lock eye contact in the kitchen or around the floor, would get a smile from her usually and I could just sense that there was some sort of attraction there. It sounds stupid but I definitely felt a connection with her that I haven't got from other women I've been with (including my ex).

Anyway I had a few opportunities to strike up a conversation with her, but I pussied out and told myself I would do it next time, but I never really got an opportunity like that again.. And now I found out from someone else that she's left the company

So this is where it gets tricky. I've come across her Facebook, and keep debating whether I should just say **** it and send her a message. On one hand I've got nothing to lose really since I'll never see her again if it doesn't go my way, but at the same time it feels dirty/creepy in a way to do that out of the blue. But I don't want this to be the one that got away

So you have no choice but to make contact then. It's really not a big deal to contact someone on Facebook. Unfortunately if you aren't friends with them, they may never even see your message since it gets filtered. Just the other day, I discovered that I had a message from 2013 from a guy who I had gone on a few dates with in 2007. I did go ahead and respond three years after the fact and maybe he'll see my response in a few years. lol

There's nothing wrong with sending a friend request to an ex-colleague. I personally don't see the big dilemma. Facebook is great for keeping up with old friends that you don't have an immediate connection with. That's not creepy unless you somehow make it so.

The thing is , we've never actually spoken to each other.

Just a lot of eye contact , smiling. One day we walked out of opposite lifts at the same time and both just kind of stopped and looked at each other, was wierd but cute in a way. This probably sounds stupid, but I can tell in my gut that there was some sort of attraction there.

Eye contact, wow.. The one that got away, , lol, , sounds more like a missed connection on craigslist.

You never had her, not even close, so nothing got away.

Oh just go ahead and message her! Don't get discouraged!! Just say, Hey girl. I noticed you left the company. Too bad we never got a chance to talk, although, I did love your smile . If you ever have time and want to talk, I'd love to hear from you!

No harm in trying. Just don't build it up in your head too much first.
