Okay, so I don't date people I work with. Just have some really long days sometimes. Well, He just got dismissed. Should I play my attraction off as just plain concern. (which I really am ) or should I openly admit that i've been attracted to him this whole two years. Or should I just get one of his buddies to set up a get together with a bunch of folks and approach him then...He's hanging downstairs till 7 because they carpool. (i'm not a stalker it's general information). I don't know if there is etiquette to this or not. But my lord I do believe I need to do something. I just don't want to come rude or selfish. Hey maybe this will be the Rainbow of his day right? or not? I'm second guessing. help me out a bit CD

what if you just ask him for his number and say it's in case he wants to talk about it...

This is not much info to go on. I mean, have you ever talked to him before, and if so, did you ever get a vibe or anything from him? I realize being at work and all, can be all business sometimes, but curious as to how close you were to working with him?

Okay, I made sure that it was always a third party present when we spoke....Once we were alone and started flirting...not good for the work place. that was over a year and a half ago we stay with the same crowd. I don't think he would turn me down....its just the circumstances....He's had a very very bad day. He even yelled at his best friend. We know he went to the Bar. Seems awkward. Plus I was the one that had to process his exit paperwork and he was not speaking unless he had to no matter what positive note I tried to throw. But. even with all that. before he got on the elevator he came and aplogized for "being an ass". Know that he is drinking now. I'm not sure where his mind frame could be. back to an ass or what. I want to give him time. But I don't want to miss an opportunity either.

Tell him you can imagine he's had a rough day and you'd like to cheer him up with a drink or dinner after work.

Just give him your number and tell him if he ever needs a shoulder to cry on...
Don't tell him you like him straight out. He should be asking you out not the other way around. Of course, I subscribe to the He's Just Not Into You school of thought where men should be chasing the women. Works out better that way if you're a woman.

I`m assuming he was "drinking on the job?"

At any rate, just have him paged or something, and talk to him about his dismissal. Ask him if he is ok, etc..and offer him your phone number.
If he is interested, he will call...

Dating is the LAST thing on his mind right now. He's more than likely wondering how he's going to make a living now.

Tell him, "when one door closes, another door opens." Maybe you can be a part of the next chapter in his life. Good luck.
