What would you do?

I like someone at the moment but that person doesn't know. I have just joined a website for new friends (which also includes dating), more out of curiosity than anything. One of suggested matches turned out to be the person I like. I was really surprised. I'm too shy to ask the person out because I see them every day and I don't know what they think about me. Would it be strange to message the person online?.

In other words, go for it. What do you have to lose?

No, in fact I think thats the primary purpose of these websites

That made me laugh.

I just need to pick up the courage I guess

No harm in testing out the water online but I think it's always easier to read body language and gauge how interested someone is in person...

Best of luck

Assuming you know this person to talk to tell them you joined the site and it suggested them as a match. Then ask them for a coffee. Much better to do it in person and there is none of that waiting around for a message back.

Good luck

I'd pluck up the courage and approach the person in a real-life face-to-face situation. There might be a bit of awkwardness if you approach them through the site. That happened me a few months ago with a guy I know through a club and it ended in disaster.

If you know somebody in a face-to-face situation it's best to ask them out in a face-to-face situation, that's what I think anyway.

If you work with this person could you get together with them on a work night out?

I'd call that a sign
