Make yourself talkative funny and outgoing person

I got attracted to a man at my workplace. I was thinking to ask him out for a lunch. When it comes to conversation, it gets a lot harder. People who know me well seem to think I'm talkative, funny, and maybe even outgoing. But, with people I don't know well I act stiff, serious and have a hard time being funny. I realized today that, I'm my own worst enemy. I might as well just not even try if I don't think I'm going to be able to project a good relaxed attitude and confidence.
I feel like other people I see can toss off witty, funny comments to people and start a light conversation. My conversations with people I don't know well usually involves me asking lots of questions-- but I think it can be sort of awkward.
Project a good relaxed attitude and confidence
Concerning the lunch date I can see your dilemma about having it with other people from his department. That could be quite a nightmare particularly if the purpose is to get to know him better.
I would be thinking more along the lines of a lunch date on the weekend. Maybe Saturday or Sunday rather than a weekday?
Terminate habit of being your own worst enemy
Perfect lines only exist in well-scripted movies. I would not worry about having the need to say anything witty or smooth to a man. All you really need to do is be who you have been when around him, that is friendly & smiling lots.
If the thought of a small conversation is too much for you after the meeting then why don't you pretend that you have got to rush somewhere afterwards and say “ Hi , it's good to see you again. I have got to rush somewhere but I would love to have lunch with you sometime? ” if he says yes then you can offer him a date, time and place and then make a quick exit.
