I work in a supermarket and one of my coworkers is this cute blonde that I've been crushing on since I moved departments and our paths have been crossing more often.

I feel sure the feeling is mutual but I've got so little confidence in my instincts when it comes to relationships and general signal vibes, due to my poor judgement in partners in the past, that I can't bear the thought of putting my foot in my mouth and fucking up by overstepping some sort of line and getting rejected. I don't think the lengthy prelude has helped the anxiety much either if I'm honest.

Here's the true dilemma, I'm going away to volunteer internationally for a couple of months later this month and in affect am leaving my current job in about 2 weeks. So my window is closing pretty rapidly and I could do with making a move before then or it's probably not happening.

Usually I find the hardest part of having a crush is actually developing the initial interest, by this point I'm usually flying on the fumes of my endless confidence but that feeling of total naïvety has fucked off with her and I'm left questioning my next move to the point of overthought.

This is where you guys come in, I'd ask my friends for perspective and advice but they're all pretty clueless so I'm asking you lovely lot instead!
