How Do I Make A Move?


Submitted by: Whitney

Q - Dear Annabelle,
I have a crush on this guy who is our Pepsi delivery guy he is 21. I have noticed him looking at me a lot, which is fine. I told one of my co-workers that I liked him and on my day of this past week she told him that I had a thing for him. He keeps coming up to Customer Service where I work and asking me for little things or to Īcheck him outā at the register.

I have noticed that when he comes around both of us seem to be tongue-tied when we see each other. I would like to ask him out. He is single. (I know that because my co-worker asked him.) How should I make the first move? I'm really shy at first until I get to know someone. How do I make a move with out feeling nervous or making myself look like a fool?

A - Dear Kristin,

Ask him if heād like to take a Pepsi break with you. You wonāt sound like a fool. Ask him questions as though you were Īinterviewingā him for information on job placement.......every job has interesting and dull aspects and, by asking about his job, and not so pointedly about HIM, heāll be a little more at ease. He obviously finds you attractive as well, from your description of the situation. Young gentlemen like to have the young ladies in whom they are interested find them interesting.......itās rather like catnip. Youāll do fine, just remember to look him directly in the eyes and smile nicely. That alone will work wonders. Do, however, remember that itās the male who does the hunting.......donāt YOU pursue him............let HIM pursue you....at least until you catch him.
