    Hi people,

    I work in a large organisation and there is a guy there that I think is nice looking and would like to get to know better but have no idea how to without looking desperate or stalkerish.
    He works in a different section than me and the person I know in that section doesn't know them either.
    The reason I'm so interested is I know they like me as I have caught them on numerous occasions staring at me blatantly when I'm with colleagues on break.
    I am fairly shy myself when it comes to striking up conversation or even smiling so when I did finally convince myself that I should smile at them and give abit of encouragement, one of the lads spotted him looking at me and made a big joke out of it so he won't even look at me anymore therefore I have no way of grabbing his attention without as previously stated looking desperate. Which I'm not by the way.
    Has anyone any ideas as to how to even strike up a conversation with this guy to see if it's worth the hassle??

    I know this sounds a bit up in the air but can you please give me constructive advice only
    Thanks.

    Do you know his name? Can you send an email or internal post -- if you can't strike up a conversation?

    Similar situation, I liked a girl I worked with but had no reason at all to strike up a conversation in work as I never had any dealings with her or would never bump into her. Only time I ever saw her was on lunch and I was far too shy to just approach her in front of everyone and I aslo had no idea if she even knew I existed. Had this crush for about 4 months before deciding to do anything about it. What I did was wait till a work night out and just said f*ck it, nothing ventured nothing gained, and went up and introduced myself....we ended up chatting all night and the next day I just sent her an email in work saying hi etc which eventually led to where we are now 6 months later and dating.
