There is a guy in the place i work whom i kinda have a crush on, well more than a crush i guess...He's quite good looking and smart..But I really don't get to talk to him because he appears to be a snob most of the time. I could say he's quite mysterious. Well, I really can't tell if he likes me or not but he sometimes do this little gestures that makes me wonder if he likes me, as well...Should i just forget how i feel for him or is it okay to make the first move?i really don't know!I'm not the aggressive type but whenever he's around, i tend to be clumsy!aaaaaaarrrrghh!Help me please!

Nobody can know how you feel about them until you tell them. You might be pleasntly surprised to find the person reciprocates those feelings to you. don't let your heart be afraid. there is no shame in showing someone how you feel about them.

maybe you can try talking to him most of the time or whenever you have the opportunity and start a conversation. aa the day goes by, you will then realize that you're friends! and that where it will all start, friends to lovers!

When you just happen to walk by him and smile at him what kind of response do you get. Does he look the other way, down at the floor or does he smile back? If he doesn't smile back it could mean you are not on his radar at all or that you are very much on his radar but he is shy.
If you know for a fact he is not shy they it seems you will need to let him know you are interested and see what happens. If he is shy then the fact that you make the first move, like saying hi to him whenever you walk by, he should then respond back. Most shy people will once they know the other person is interested in them.
There really is nothing wrong with you letting him see you are interested. Just be ready to find that he may not be interested back. Chances are that he is but there could be a lot of reasons he does not. Being in the work place is a very tough place for a man to make any advances. Most offices tend to frown on work place romances because it can cause problems down the line so be sure you know where you stand there.
First things first however and that is to find out if he already has a girlfriend. I assume you know this but as you haven't talked with him it is possible you don't.
Sounds like it will be up to you to make this happen.

How about this? It's not in my character to do this but you seem so nice that I wonder if we can get to know each other better???......Well you can give it a try and know for sure. You might discover he is shy not a snob. There is only one way to know.

To be honest, it is not easy to get along with the man you mentioned.
There is a colleague of mine who is just like what you has described. I feel lots of pressure when I face him. But I get on with him not bad so far because I really do my stuff very carefully and try to avoid any mistakes in the job. In spear time, we seldom talk to each other about private things. So we will never have further relationships anymore.

it depends on your manner of approach..if you go way too fast, that's aggressive.. if you take it slowly your feelings gonna get to him.. When your bothering if you want to make the first move there's no malice in that..you just want to know if he's in to you but if not, that's the time to let go.. but if he IS :) you can give him tidbits of clue to let him know you also like him.

I'm kinda old school so I'm not comfortable with the idea of women making the first move. I'd stick with the waiting game. He's bound to make his move eventually if you read those little gestures right. But you could also try asking a close friend at work to sort of drop hints on the guy. It's a subtle way of making the first move.

hey there.. basing on what ive read.. i believe that this appears to be slightly "puppy love" .. and its more on the crush thing.. you dont really have strong feelings for the guy.. (well thats how i interpret forgive me if im mistaken) you tend to be clumsy since you want him to notice you at some point so that you can prove to yourself that he actually likes you as well.. and by these gestures that he is doing, you can never tell whether he does this all the time or to all the girls that he comes across with.. since you dont know the guy, why not try and get to know him a little bit more.. you can actually just ask him to hang out not a date type.. but just tell him like "hey wanna hang out" .. and then have some coffee or wherever you wanna go that wont tell him that its a romantic thing.. you should keep your poise and of course try not to go for the obvious since you are the girl.. if the guy has strong feelings for you, maybe it will work out.. who knows.. both of you could be together or if you got to know the guy maybe you wont like him afterall and he will just be another pretty face in the crowd..
take care - hush
