MEN's Portal / Dating Advice for Women / Approaching men /
I met this man when he joined my company. I thought he was very attractive, but never really had the opportunity to talk to him. I was in a long-term relationship so I didn't think much of it. I am just recently liberated from my previous relationship.
Over the past few months, whenever I saw him I'd give him a big smile and he'd give me a big smile back. He didn't seem too happy to talk about work. I can't think of a way to casually just contact him and start talking. So I'm going to try asking him out to lunch. What should be good way to approach a man and ask him out to lunch?
From what you have described, it is a bit difficult to determine whether he is interested in you in that way or not.
You and him have only met around the office briefly a number of times and exchanged salutations. From these types of actions one can easily perceive them to be nothing more than friendly and polite exchanges between two people.
I think that the potential was certainly there for something to have happened but at that present point in time it felt more like as if he only responded in a friendly manner to a woman who actually took the time to say hello and engage him in conversation.
In that you have met him a number of times around the office and at the marathon is certainly uncanny.
Bottom line: I said to myself how come you haven't done anything? So, you were already in an existing relationship. Therefore it was understandable and excusable why you were reserved in approaching him.
Considering that you are now liberated from your previous relationship and it ended up amicably in that it did not mess you up emotionally I think that there would be nothing wrong in you approaching this other guy right at this moment.
