I am in talking stage with my single male coworker since last month. He went on vacation last week and will be back next week. I am leaving the company today as something urgent has came up. We only had conversations on office chatting app and have developed a strong connection. Our interest in each other is clear.
Do I email to his office email id from my personal id and share my contact details? or should I send him text message/WhatsApp as I have his number from common work friends texting group?
Also, should I say that I enjoyed getting to know him and would like to keep talking and possibly meet at some point?

If you feel comfortable sharing your contact details with him, it's perfectly fine to do so via email or text message. It's also great that you want to express your interest in continuing to talk and possibly meet up in the future.
If you have his number from a common work friends texting group, it might be easier and more direct to send him a text message or a WhatsApp message. In your message, you can express that you've enjoyed getting to know him and would like to keep in touch, and then share your contact details.
Alternatively, if you prefer to email him, you can send a brief message to his work email from your personal email account, expressing your interest in keeping in touch and sharing your contact details.
Whatever method you choose, it's important to be clear and direct in your message and to respect his response, whether he is interested in continuing to talk or not. Good luck!
Thanks! You advise is really helpful.
I was wondering, will writing the below indicate imminent closure? Is there any other way to write this that would imply that I want to keep talking and keep things open?
“I hope that we will keep talking and maybe meet someday”
While the phrase "I hope that we will keep talking and maybe meet someday" may be interpreted as an indication of imminent closure, it doesn't necessarily have to be. You can still express your interest in keeping the lines of communication open without implying that you expect an immediate or definite plan to meet up.
Here's an alternative phrasing that you could use to convey your interest in keeping things open:
"I've really enjoyed getting to know you, and I hope we can stay in touch even though I'm leaving the company. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat or catch up. Looking forward to keeping in touch!"
This phrasing is open-ended and leaves the possibility of future communication and potential meetings without implying that you expect a definite plan to meet up soon.
Thanks so much! I have slight change in plan. But before that quick backstory - I met this guy few weeks ago and our interest in each other was very clear. We had long chats since then. We work remotely for the same company and were going to meet next in 2-3 weeks. But I had to leave the company while he was away on vacation. He is back to work and I'm now planning to text him this -
"Hey! I'm glad that I got to meet you. I really enjoyed getting to know you. Now that we do not have the same professional environment, I want to also tell you that I like you a lot. Here is my phone number and email address. Take care and all the best".
Do you think this is ok? Should I add something to indicate that I want to leave open communication channel with him?
It's great that you want to express your feelings and keep the lines of communication open with this guy. Your message sounds good overall, but if you'd like to emphasize that you want to keep in touch, you could consider adding a sentence at the end that explicitly expresses that desire. Here's an example:
"Hey! I'm glad that I got to meet you. I really enjoyed getting to know you. Now that we do not have the same professional environment, I want to also tell you that I like you a lot. Here is my phone number and email address. I would love to stay in touch and see where things go between us. Take care and all the best."
This way, you're still expressing your interest in him and leaving the possibility of future communication open. Best of luck!
Thank you! This is good.
You’re very welcome
Hi there! I messaged him but got no reply. Can I DM you so I can share the details there and get your opinion?
I messaged and told him I like him and also shared my phone number and email ID. I’m confident that he likes me back but he hasn’t responded. It’s been 10 days. He is introvert and reserved guy. I don’t understand his no-response. Can you please help me get some perspective here?
He has read my message on WhatsApp. Also he came to see my LinkedIn profile 2 hours after reading my message. that makes me think he is considering me but still he hasn’t responded. Do guys take that long to think things through?
Definitely message his personal phone and say you want to keep in touch
I’ll do that. Thanks.
Do you think it would be appropriate to say that I would like that he and I keep talking and may be meet someday?
I don’t want to come on too strong and scare him off because we are developing a connection.
I think that would be perfect to say
Thanks!
I messaged and told him I like him and also shared my phone number and email ID. I didn’t ask him how he feels about me and I also didn’t say that I’d like us to keep talking and see where it goes. I just told I like him to keep it simple. I’m very confident that he likes me back as he has shown me mountains of evidence of his interest but he hasn’t responded to my text. It’s been 10 days. He is introvert and reserved guy. I don’t understand his no-response. Can you please help me get some perspective here?

I’m going through such a mess that I’m not even sure anymore but I hope it works for you
Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better for you. Thank you for your wishes!
Just send him a text or email.
I’ll do that. Thanks.

No, not at all. Go for it.
Thanks! That really helped me.

Your welcome.
I think it got missed and you didn’t read the update I added in above comment and question I asked. Please check. I’d really like to know your thoughts.
