I hate to say this, but he isn't asking because that's not what he wants. Not many guys take a stab in the dark.......But even a blind squirrel can get a nut.

Even the dumbest, most shy guys could feel and sense it dear.

Even they would find the courage to ask if they were like 99.99% sure you will/would say yes.


Not many guys are going to if they have a 15.999% chance........Some Don Juan's will though. They know no shame.
I think this may be what I needed to hear. Given the perfect opportunity today, I can't see why he wouldn't have asked me out. Guess it's time for me to move on.

It was the perfect opportunity for you to ask him out, you didn't.

This happens to guys all the time!

That said I think you handled this well. There was nothing you did that was wrong in setting yourself up to meet him.

Me thinks he may have changed his mind and one of the reasons is that maybe he felt uncomfortable that you all worked for the same company. But it could be any number of reasons. A lot can happen in a month

I suggest to lay low and play it cool especially because of his position with the company as well as you not being able to handle rejection.

Yeah, but I actually gave him the opportunity within the conversation to ask me out. He didn't bite. Like I said, I don't feel comfortable asking him out.

Really? It sounds stupid, but I never really thought of it that way.

Thank you. That makes me feel better that I didn't completely screw up.

That's exactly what I plan on doing. At this point, I feel like he can pursue me. He knows I'm interested and I'm not sure how I could possibly make it any more obvious. Thanks for the reply.

And he didn't.
Just like you didn't ask him out.

You want something.
But you won't go for it.
And it won't go for you.

Unless one of those two situations changes you'll never have it.

You "really like" this guy but you haven't had any real conversations with him and other than running into him briefly at this event, you haven't so much as seen him in a month.

I sense you are confusing affection with lust. In other words, you've got the hots for him. Thing is, he's just not that into you. If he was, he'd have stayed to talk to you longer, and he'd have found some way to get to know you by now. This goes for all men. A man who is interested in a woman doesn't let a month go by without talking to her or seeing her.

I get what you're saying, but I can't help but feel it's awkward for me, the person in the lower position, to ask him out. Especially after I gave him an opportunity during the conversation to ask me out! It's frustrating to say the least.

She's into him. He was right there in, figurative, grabbing distance. She didn't make a move.
