    Hi, I'd love some advice please.
    I'm a single female in my early 40's.
    About 18 months ago I moved counties to work in a large organisation.
    I was seeing a guy from home when I started, that ended a year ago.

    A guy from work caught my eye and we have become really good friends over the past year.
    He's single and about my age.
    We work in a grade structure and I'm his superior and sometimes his supervisor.

    We've gone out, as friends, a number of times. They were the best craic, as he's brilliant company and we were both totally relaxed.
    Nothing ever happened between us, which suited me as I wanted to get to know him and I needed to work through some things from my previous relationship.

    I now feel ready to date again.....and I'd love to date him! But I don't know if he's interested.

    At the Christmas party we spent the evening in each others company. Everywhere I moved to he appeared.
    We left together, he walked me home........but nothing.

    Our work organisation is large, with numerous couples who met there.

    should I forget about him?

    Nope don't forget about him, ask him out. But make sure you make him aware it's a date and not friends meeting up again. You've nothing to lose! You'll regret it if you never take the chance.

    I once asked a girl out from my work. Was a little unsure about it at first, like you. We're married now.

    Go for it!

    From what you say I think he likes you og, why on earth would you forget about him?

    If I were to walk a girl home it would be either because she had no one else to see her home or if I was interested, maybe nerves got the better of him or something, maybe the supervisor thing and jeopardising your working relationship and all that fluff is going on in his head, you never know.

    As Brego said above ask the guy out! :)

    "Hey coworker! Do you want to go get a drink tonight? Great, then it's a date!"

    Nice, friendly, breezy and clearly saying this is a you and him only thing.

    ASK.HIM.OUT!

    If you're technically his superior he might be reluctant to ask you out... kill two birds with the one stone. Go for it.

    And on behalf of men everywhere - please ask him out.
