Sooooo...

[(Anonymous)]

I have this ridiculous crush on a guy who works in the shop right next to where I'm employed (I've worked there a year now). I see him maybe once or twice a week (they use our shop to stock up on things they need to make things to sell). He seems like a really nice guy, from what little I can tell, but we generally only talk when I'm serving him.

I've had a growing crush for a few months, and now I really want to ask him out, but I'm a nervous wreck and that'll probably never happen. Thing is, one of my coworkers has got him as a friend on FB, and I've taken a look (only to see if it was true; it is).

Would it be odd for me to friend him? Since I talk to non-friends much easier online, I was thinking it might get us talking, and then I might actually get the courage to ask him on a date (I am realistic, I know he could easily just never speak to me, if he even accepted in the first place).

Think it's worth a shot, F!S? Anyone got any advice on how I can not be an utter failure at talking to guys I like in general?

I don't think it'd be odd to friend him.

You should just get it over with and ask him out to save yourself the worrying and pointless maneuvering. "Might actually get up courage" is just code for "never going to do it" and "drawing out things unnecessarily while worrying needlessly." Save yourself the heartache and find the courage within yourself now.

I'd make sure he doesn't have a girlfriend/boyfriend first. Then I'd go for it.

How many friends do you have? If you are just friends with a few close family members and select friends it might look a little weird if he pokes around. But in general friending on facebook doesn't seem to have strict rules, I've been baffled by some people's requests, and y'all have a friend in common so based on my fb experiences you're on pretty safe ground. If he mentions it you can always brush it off as "oh facebook suggested you and I was like yeah I know that dude, seems pretty chill might as well."

I'd only friend him if he knows your name and you guys have had some conversations.
Maybe even ask him one day, "hey do you have a facebook? Think I could add you?"

I dunno. Maybe I'm not just into FB culture, but it feels weird to friend someone you barely know, unless you guys have chatted a bit and formed at least a friendly acquaintance. It doesn't sound like you have that at the moment.

Being nervous is only natural, but honestly, the more you overthink it the more you'll wind yourself up about it unnecessarily. Just ask him out. Make it clear that you mean it to be a date, not just two buds hanging. If he says no, smile and shrug and say something like, "Awww well, you can't blame a person for trying" and then continue chatting as if nothing happened.

Even if you're dying on the inside. If you pretend it's casual and no big deal, it will be casual and no big deal and not the soul-destroying rejection that everyone worries about. Good luck!

I definitely don't think it would be odd to friend him, as long as you are on friendly terms with him and you both know each others' full names.
