Can you advise me on how to handle this situation at work?

I have a job offer and will be resigning from my current position in two weeks.

My coworker crush and I work on the same very large floor in different offices. We met in Decemeber during the company holiday party and we had a nice chat about our positions and education. The conversation was very causal and it felt very comfortable taking to him. After we spoke, while mingling with other people I caught him giving me the eye.

To be honest, ever since that encounter I have been intimidated by him. He is very good looking, has a higher rank in the company, and is about 10 years my senior. I saw him on another occasion and was like a deer in headlights.I think he might have sensed that and maybe took it for stand offishness.

We see each other every now and then but all he says is hi and keeps it moving.

I just wanted to know if I should make a move and how. It would not be the end of my world if I didn't/ was rejected. I'm just trying to be a little more outgoing in life I general and don't want to have any what ifs when I leave.

Your thoughts?

    13 years ago I gave a cute guy who worked at my local grocery my phone number. We're celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary this July :)

    Yes, you should "make a move', maybe next time you see him speak up..say something like I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed the chat we had at the holiday party. I'm actually leaving this job but if you'd like to meet for coffee or lunch or something, here's my new contact information.

    You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Good luck!

    Tough situation but I don't think it will work out because you work together

    This is the 21st century. Just give him your phone number/email and ask for his to keep in touch.

    This is not a "careers & employment" question. Post it under "relationships."
