Around five months ago I noticed this man. He is at least ten years younger. Our situations are different in many respects such as class and areas we come from. But there is something there for me and I can't get him out of my head. I have almost convinced myself to ask him out but do I take the plunge and disregard these differences between us? I know nothing of him other than his name and his job. The last thing I want to do is to humiliate myself or him over this and a part of me says to forget it and walk away.

why not take a chance and talk to him, he may already  be in a relationship, but ask him out for coffee and see what he says. if he says no then you know where you stand, otherwise you will be continually wondering what could of been. take a chance.

I would go up to the guy and ask him out.  He probably will say yes, since he said you were beautiful.  Just ask him out\nwomen can ask guys out too.  Don't think him leaving has anything to do with him not asking you out.  He probably didn't ask you out because he thought he wasn't your cup of tea. ha. brit humor

OMG, your so cute!  You sound so adorable, I sometimes get vibes off of what people write and your vibe is very refreshing.  I just had to say that.  Anyways, I think you have already been noticed, especialyl if he's playing around with you.  Why don't you ask him his name, then he'll ask yours.  While he's playing drums on your head just turn around and be like...your playing drums on my head and I dont even know your name..make it a joke and see how quickly he will ask for yours.   best advice, continue to be yourself and Im sure he'll be asking you out and if you get impatient jsut ask him out...hey it's 2006, women are aloud to do the asking.

His just proably very busy and his thinking about you. Maybe his thinking about what to do with you next. Relax you dont want to scare this guy away. I've been there and done that. Its not cool becuase you hurt yourself for what you did. Just go with it and get to know him first. Don't jump to the marriage part. you guys just met.  I really think that there's things he needs to do and haven't had time to call you.  GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT!!!!  unless you go out one day and caught him with someone else then just look at it like you don't care but don't let him see you be hurt. " Those who wait will be reward!!"

think of it this way. has someone ever asked you a question that you thought might take guts to ask. well they did it. and think did you laugh at them or make fun of them after they had done what they had did. I think not. so what is there to think about just do it already. and if he says no just think" hey this guy doesnt know what he is missing." you are better then him. \n\n                                                               live your life to the fullest and take risks\n                                                               hope all your wishes come true\n                                                                 meeker the gypsy

I don't think you are wrong if you don't want to date him. That's your choice and your decision. However, it seems to me, from your question that you are uncertain about the situation. Maybe part of you wants to give him a chance even though "he doesn't fit into the mold of a man I would consider dating". Sometimes, it's a good idea to do something different, open doors rather than close doors, be open to new opportunities. Anyway, it's always your life to do whatever you think is best for you. Good Luck!

Sorry but this somehow sounds a little odd to me.\nHe seems to know that you're interested in him but still doesn't make a move?\nIs there something wrong with him? Saying that if she asks me out I would accept but then not doing the step to ask you out?\nI'm not into the notes thing but if your friends know and told him already, what's he waiting for??\nIf he's soooooooooo shy, do you think he's the right guy for you?\nWell, depending on your preferences about a man, of course...

I say take a chance and look him up. There's no point in always wondering what if. If you find him and he's not interested then you can move on because at least you'll know one way or the other. Of course if he wants to be involved then maybe you'll get a happily ever after! Good Luck!

I wonder how many people have been in your position and let it go, always wondering if it was the right thing to do? I say GO FOR IT!! What the hell do you have to lose? If it doesn't work or he's spoken for, then let it go - but at least you tried. If you find him and he feels the same way you do... wellll....

I am not being rude or judging you, but maybe you should talk to a councilor. I am sorry to here of your lose, but remember you are not the one that passed on, you are a live and you shouldn't feel guilty about moving on. It will feel like that you are comparing, but if you hang in there you will find the things that you like about the new guy in your life. Hang in there and don't give up. Good luck.

Who knows what this guy is after, some 27 year olds are for real and some are just out to get some..... i am 26 and know both types of guys. I say give him a chance and then go with your gut. You never know, he could turn out to be the ONE!

Your age right now makes all the difference.  You may not understand the reasoning behind the decision to not allow you to date him, but I promise there are good reasons behind it.  I've been there, and it was one of the big mistakes in my life.  Be young, enjoy it, embrace it.  You'll be older soon enough

+ I really don't know as I don't seem to have that problem. My girl friend was still having guys call to ask her out when we first started (and she still is) and I suggested that the three of us get together and that never happened. Someone was intimidated, but not me. Seems like the guy would always say no, or that is what I was told. I sure hope that is the truth as I would hate to find out otherwise later.  My thought was that if they thought enough of her to ask her out they probably had the same values as I do so they had to be OK guys and maybe they would be valuable people to know. \nI am getting ready to go on a work trip to South America and I told her that it was OK to have dinner with some of them if she wanted, and I guess that was a wrong answer too. So I am busting back to get everything done and every time I turn around I get asked to do more things. I can't understand it. If I were to do the same thing, would I be considered inconsiderate, thoughtless or greedy for attention? I suppose I will never really understand. I really hope that when I return she will have spent at least one full 48 hour period without having consumed any alcohol as I worry a lot about it and sometimes I stay away because of it. Well I hope my thoughts help you sort out yours. \nGood Luck from a guy who is not intimidated and who cares enough to just walk away if the other person would be happier that way. (Been there done that)

I read an article once that work was the #1 place to meet your mate. \n\nBut that aside, I would say you should both agree that if it looks at all like this isn't going to work out, you back off quickly and agree to remain friends.  \n\nOr, get your resume polished off.  But if you really feel like he is not just a guy to date, but someone you could have a future with, go for it.  There are other jobs.

If you recently met this guy you have to be a liitle patient and not just enter a relationship with him. Do you personally know why he travels so frequently? You ahve to be careful when its comes to this type of situation. All I can say is to be a little patient and do not rush into anything.

when i was 17 i started seeing this boy that i had really liked for about 2 years. He eventually wanted to make things more serious and for some reason i said no and finished with him. I now know that i shouldnt have done that cos i did and still do really like him. My life took a different path and even now 10 years later i wonder what might have been if id said yes instead of no. i still see him now and still feel the same way about him but ive never had the courage to ask him out or anything. So the answer is yes i have yes i still do feel that way about him.

Talk to him - open up and just tell him how you feel.  Tell him that you think he's nice or attractive or that you want to get to know him better because he seems like a great guy... whatever.  If he's not interested he'll tell you.  If he is then he'll probably ask you out right there on the spot.  Either way, you'll know how he feels and, yes, this is what I would do in your place.  I did it, once, I was 26 and I told a man that I was very attracted to him and that I wanted to get to know him better.  He told me that I was beautiful but that he had to focus on his career.  I told him that I understood and went about my business.  I'm now married to a wonderful man that treats me like a queen, who isn't a workaholic. *smile*  God bless!
