    OK, so a new guy started in the store I work in. He's cute and really nice and really single. :D

    I'm 30, he's a couple of years older. I was in a 10 year relationship before this and haven't had a crush since I was in school.

    We chat but no differently than he chats to anyone else. I don't think he likes me in that way. But at the same time, no harm in trying eh? Don't get me wrong, I'm not love sick or anything but when a cute single man who is nice stumbles in my path, well, I have to notice. It doesn't happen often :)

    So, I need some advice. I'm not shy but I have to work with this bloke every day and where I would never normally have a problem asking a guy out, I don't want to make him uncomfortable or make things awkward.

    So, how do I act interested without being obvious? I'd like for him to think I am interested but without making it glaringly obvious and uncomfortable if he isnt interested.

    Or should I just enjoy liking him but leave it at that?

    Good for you Op..

    first crush after an LTR is a lovely feeling...

    I wouldn't go all hairography on him flirting your az off if ya don't wanna be rebuffed, let him get to know you and vice versa... build the friendship with him, I'd imagine its pretty daunting now to you, but thats ok, nerves are good, just don't over analyze everything that is said and done, take it natural, he's a newbie in the store so show him the ropes of how YE do things?...

    then maybe grab lunch together? thats an innocent enough colleague request and gives ye time to have a chat over a sandwich outside of the store and start getting to know each other.. that can progress onwards to drinks with the gang after work on a friday, etc etc..

    let it build at its own pace, if he's interested you'll know soon enough, and if he's not, well, cross that bridge when ya come to it!

    best of luck! :)
