This new guy at work likes me a lot, always affectionate, walks me to the car, asked me out on a date, tries to assure me that he is not looking just for the benefits, said he doesn't look for that at all. What bothers me is that he finally got my phone number, told me last time I saw him that he will call me, and he never did.
If he had called me the day he said, he could've got a date today, also I told him that he is out of reach for me, I don't want to call him at work, cause everybody knows us, keeps saying he will call me, doesn't give his phone number and vanishes.
Is it OK to ask a guy for a phone number? I tried to avoid him from the beginning, but he won, and now he upsets me. Any advise. I am already heartbroken.
The workplace romance can be a tough one, especially for the new guy. You are not out of line at all by asking him to call, or calling him, to make it easier for both of you it may be a good idea to give a light-hearted "you never call," in a joking manner. Just be subtle, I can tell you don't want to be aggressive, and that shows you're professional. I am sure he'll find that very sexy.
I've been too nervous to call a girl I knew I had a pretty good chance with, and even as I've grown older I still do. There is a lot of pressure on a man when initiating the first date, even when there really shouldn't be. But, don't get heartbroken, after all you haven't dated yet!
Thank you Ronnie, I love you for answering. By the way I am at the military workplace. Another thing is I am a lot older than he is and he knows this, though I look 10 years younger. He said age doesn't matter to him. - 6 months ago
If you want to get straight to the point and stop the dawdling, get a man's number. It speeds up the process and sends a clear message to the man that you are interested in him now and not later. You many not believe this, but many man will not ask women out for the simple fear of sexual harassment. This is accurate particularly with coworkers. But nothing stops a woman from approaching a man.
