I’ve been trying to think of other ways to strike up a conversation with this guy I recently met and I was wondering if that seems too cheesy. What other ways can I approach him through text messages just to say hi and let him know I’m thinking of him?
Is telling a guy “hey handsome” considered cheesy?
It's implied that you're thinking of him if you contact him. Ask him how he's doing or what he's been up to, small talk-type stuff. Do not tell him he's attractive- that is something you tell a boyfriend or perhaps a friend who needs your opinion, not some guy you're trying to get to know,

hi is sufficient. why? because if any girl even starts a conversation with a guy then it means she's thinking about him. at least that's what I think
Hey handsome, morning gorgeous, hey big guy, what’s cooking good looking... and so on... Anything complimentary but personal to the two of you is good too.
Well, in a word, yes. Just be yourself and strike up a conversation. Talk about what is important to you and ask him what is on his mind. Whether its calculus or football, just listen and ask a few questions When you see him in person, smile at him the right way and he'll forget his name. ~JSmith
How about "I was just thinking about your handsome face and thought id say hi and thanks for making me smile". That would make me feel good and want to reciprocate the compliment
Yeah it's cheesy, but no guy is gonna complain. Here's the problem with texts - no emotion and zero body language, so you miss out on at least half of what's being communicated. People think they can actually forge a relationship by texting, but it's virtually impossible. No pun intended.
And the whole dating at work thing is a fail too, cuz when it all blows up, and it will, one or both of you will be looking for a new job. If you can get one easily, or you don't care, then go for it. There's even a saying for this, "Don't shit where you eat." :)
I hear what you are saying but none of those are my intentions... it’s just merely to say a simple hello, that’s it. I’m just asking for opinions on different ways to approach. Not trying to have a text relationship or “date” at work.
Wait... you're gonna say, "hey handsome" by text to a guy that you're not interested in sexually, or to date? Just a co-worker? Uh no.
If a guy does this it's called sexual harassment. I wouldn't suggest that in a professional work environment. And it's a tease, and a come-on. So don't do it.
I must have. I saw, 'well only during work hours'. Are you always so confusing? LOL
Is this a crush or just a friend or acquaintance? Are you dating? If he's your lover then slather it on all you want. If not, then don't. Regardless of when or where.
