want him to know how i feel
hi and sorry if its a bit longwinded..
there's a guy at work i've known about 4 years and have always gotten along really well with and about 6 months ago i surprised myself as i started to have feelings for him...he was flirting with me a bit, but i would just laugh it off as i thought maybe that's the way he was with everyone...anyway, to cut a long story short, over the last couple of months we've been out a few times - just casual stuff like going for a drive and having lunch and browsing through shops etc and to the movies as i had a free pass...the 3 times we've gone out have been at my suggestion and i must say he's been most enthusiastic each time...until recently, i didnt want him to know how i feel for some reason (i think the fear of rejection thing), but now i do want him to know, but i'm not sure how to approach it...everyone who knows him says hes shy and reserved and seem to think that he maybe feels the same towards me, but is just too afraid also to say/do anything about it...yesterday i saw him in the lunchroom and sat down and had a bit of a chat, but then there would be this awkward silence where i couldnt think of anything to say and it's just starting to kill me...i want to suggest another outing, but can't think of anywhere...any suggestions??? and any ideas how i can let him know i'm interested without scaring him off??? thanks in advance....
