I work at a clubhouse at the front desk and the guy I’m interested in works in the kitchen.

The only time I get to see him is during my break (he doesn’t take any) when I order dinner. He cooks so it’s kind of awkward for me to try to start a conversation with him. Our relationship has progressed from the two of us exchanging glances and smiles to a little bit of brief, teasing comments but we never have the opportunity to actually talk. When I’m having conversations with the cashiers or servers around him I catch him watching me while we talk and looking away when I look at him but he may just be eavesdropping and realizing what he’s doing when I catch him watching. Because the kitchen is a very gossipy area, virtually all the staff there is aware of my interest in him and one of the managers will hint things to him by saying things like “so and so is a cool girl huh?” and although everyone else knows that I like him the manager claims that this guy seems totally oblivious. One of the girls that serves commented that he’s super flirty with everyone in general but she notices that when I come around he acts differently. Basically things are at a point where something needs to be done to make this progress. The only question is what?? I don’t feel like I have an opportunity to ask him to hang out because a) we don’t really know each other well and b) he’s always busy cooking and surrounded by other people and I don’t want to put him in an awkward situation. Would it be too forward or weird just to ask my manager (who’s friends with him) to just tell him that I’m interested and pass on a number to him so he can do something about it if he wants or should I try to somehow hang out with him and my manager…which might be kind of tricky since my manager and I don’t have a relationship outside work. I don’t want to go on with a crush like a highschooler!

Desperate situations call for desperate measures. Ask your manager, or one of the other kitchen staff to tell him that you would like for him to ask you out. Good luck.
