(Sorry for my bad English) I know that the problem is typical of teenagers, and I am approaching thirty (F29), but I have the impression that this complicates the matter even more 🙃 So, there is a nice guy at my work (M30). He has always been nice, but I was in a relationship before, and then I was blinded and only my partner was in my head. The problem with Mark (let's call the guy from work Mark, because it's a nice name) is that he seems to be extremely shy. (Or his ego is so inflated by his beautiful face that he doesn't want to talk to anyone because he's too cool for that. This option also exists.) And when we talk, Mark usually mutters something quietly under his breath, and I, also very shy, mutter something back. And that's how it stands 🥲. I won't take the first step. (And here's the problem: it's not a teenage problem, because then I would buy him a Valentine's Day card, put it in the anonymous mailbox and watch what happens next, but now I can't). He won't do it either (if he had it, he probably would have done it earlier). And that's how I work😕. I look at Mark and think if there is any chance that he sees me as someone more than just a random colleague from work. I literally feel like a teenager, but is there any way to check? The option of asking people from work is not an option, because there is a nest of vipers there…
