So there are these 2 pretty girls at work who are always sending glances my way, I catch them staring at me etc. But they don't come talk to me at all.
Are they into me and are just expecting me to talk to them first/intimidated to approach me? Or have I just had something on my face for the past 6 months?

Please advise!

Most women want a man to show interest first. A lot of us still feel like that little princess and want the attention... (not all, but most; myself not included as a princess, LOL)
So go talk. Just remember, not a fan here of workplace romance.

There is absolutely no way to find out since women send out mixed signals.

I really should just stick with energy fields, superstrings, subatomic particles. Those things I understand! Women? Who knows...

well we don't really "know" anything. these two women could be fixing to kidnap you and sell your kidneys on the black market. you might wake up in an abandoned astro van, hooked up to a rusty dialysis machine. and you won't know unless you go talk to them and find out.

i'd stick with two assumptions: a) if either of them keeps making eye contact, you are ok to approach. b) no matter how long you eye-flirt with them, they're not going to approach you.

these aren't always true, but you're better off assuming they are.

Well now I'm going to think any girl batting their eyelashes at me is really after my sweet sweet kidneys. Thanks a lot!

Take it from me. If you do nothing, then nothing will happen. I know. This life ain't Hollywood.

So here's the deal. First of all, I don't buy the "women are too complicated" spiel. You're just afraid to act, that's all. Nothing complicated. Two women you want to go out with have been looking at you for 6 months and you haven't said a word to either one of them. So your first order of business is to put an end to that. Say something casual. Don't ask them out or hit on them, just talk to them, like you do to other people in the office. Certainly you don't spend 100% of your time in the office saying nothing at all, right ? Maybe you're curious what kind of stuff they work on in the office.

Until you talk to these women there is no way you're going to know whether they're interested in you or not. You can analyze the expressions on their faces and the way they blink their eyes and point their feet until the cows come home and you won't learn a thing. The only way you can have any clue who these women are and whether they are into you or not is by talking to them. Don't ask them out. Just talk to them. Say something. Because saying nothing is going to get you nowhere forever the way it has me.

I dunno, I think that if even if they were still "sending glances your way" after six months, they probably lost whatever interests they may have had a long time ago. My experience has taught me that women definitely like men to make the "move", but if you do not pick up on their signals within a few months (if not sooner), then they will either:

A) Just approach you.

B) Let it be known that you are a jerk for being so clueless (usually by being passive-aggressive in your presence).

There is a lot of missing information here, but based solely on the OP, I would say that the situation is more wishful thinking than anything. The OP just happened to notice two girls at work who 'look' at him. Something about these girls caught your attention, kind of like how SOME people claim that every time they look at a clock it reads 11:11. Sorry, but it doesn't mean anything. You look at clocks hundreds of times during the day. Those other numbers just don't stand out. Nothing mystical about it.

Anyways, I bet that if you spend time taking notice, you will see that other co-workers also throw many glances your way.

Yah I thought I had something on my face for 6 months straight too.
