Should I message my colleague? Should a girl shoot her shot?

[emlaraine]

I work with a man who superswiped me on Bumble at least 8 weeks ago. I left swiped him out of fear of working with him. I work with him and have developed a major crush on him. He deleted / hid his profile since. We spoke properly once. Since he’s seemed nervous when we briefly chat about work. We only really see each other walking the corridors between classes (we are teachers). He says ‘hi!’ to me nearly everytime he’s seen me since I started wearing makeup. I’ve started holding the contact. I know all teachers do this but the eye contact feels intense and prolonged. When we briefly talk about work he stares into my eyes without breaking contact. I’ve never had contact so intense. I am hired day by day in the school and am afraid of missing my opportunity. I am too nervous to approach him in person. I think he may still like me. Would it be weird if I added him on FB and asked him out? Should a girl shoot her shot? What should I do?

Don't risk your job or risk feeling comfortable at work. When these things don't work out, it gets extremely awkward every day at work.

Don't try to fuck your coworkers because it never works out the way you hope it will

[emlaraine]

I can leave at any time though. I’m hired day by day. Love the school but there’s no opportunities for me long-term there. Are the stakes still high?

[In_Trance]

Whether the stakes are high or not depends on your sense of value. There is no right or wrong answer. Good luck

Can you message him and just talk casually first?

[Dan290290]

Yes, that's a great idea. I think he'll be flattered.

[emlaraine]

Should I send him a ‘hey!’ or straight out ask if he would like to get a drink? Do you think he still likes me? Yesterday he nodded at me from 40ft as he walked into his classroom, which doesn’t seem like much.

[Dan290290]

I would ask him straight out. If he likes you, believe me, he'll want to go.

Up to you. I would swipe left on you if I was him. Sorry!
