find a common interest such as a band or show you know he would like, find out where they are playing and bring it up in conversation.  when he says he likes them tell him your going to a concert and if he'd like to come that would be cool.\n\ndont panic too much though even if you just ask him directly you'd be surprised how often you'll get a yes\n\ngood luck

Ask him out for coffee or something like that so that he gets the message that you're interested.

Considering that he has already asked you out in the past (even if it was a few years back), half of the work is already done. It sounds like he already has feelings for you. I think that what you should do is start talking to him again.. don't just jump right into the relationship, start off talking to him, talk to some friends of his to see if he is single, and if that is not possible.. be like "Your girlfriend's lucky.." and test the waters. Most likely he will then at that point say "I'm single" or "Yea, she is" This would probably be a good indicator. You may not use the exact phrase, but whatever you choose to that extent should take care of that problem. My advice is, gee, just to get the friendship built back up, and get it to where you feel comfortable with him and want to get into a relationship. Just keep in mind, that no matter what happens, it will happen in its own time, no need to hurry things along.. Good luck!

You have to give a little more detail. Some are too shy to come out openly and ask.\nHay, if you want to go out with him you could come out and ask him if he is asking you out.Honesty is the best way to live. You could just ask him out.\nGood luck

Next time he's alone (again when he's alone) go up introduce yourself and ask if he's seeing anyone. If he's not ask him out.  Please don't try that pathetic flirt/hint crap that most women use. Most guys don't pick up on that subtle crapola!

I know I'm being a little traditional here, but no, I don't think you should ask him out. That's his job and all you have to do is give him some hints and maybe talk to his friends so he can get the courage to ask you out. Nobody likes rejection, but in life everyone has to learn to overcome it.

Just call him and tell him you were thinking about him and ask him out.  If he is in a relationship then he will let you know and you can move on.

Be direct!!!  Believe me guys would love more women to simply ask them out for a change.  Call him up, say you met where ever and you want to know if he's involved. If he isn't ask him out. Easy isn't it?

be straight forward with it. go up to him and say "will you go out with me" if he likes you (which it sounds like he does) he'll say yes and everything'll be just as if he asked you out.

If he doesn't know you exist, talk to him!! Say something like I like your shirt, or even hi for a couple of days, then gradually say more and more as you get to know him. Eventually you can work up the courage to ask him out, or maybe he will ask you out!! If he knows you exist but doesn't care, BACK AWAY!!! If you keep bothering him he is just going to label you as annoying or desperate. Whatever the case, its best to let your feelings be known instead of having regrets. The least that can happen is that he will say no, and then you can at least say you tried.

If you are to shy to ask him out, try asking a group including him to go out. Invite he and his friends to go out with you and your friends someplace.

Don't ask him to be your boyfriend. Just ask him to go out with you somewhere.  Meet for coffee and hang out.  If you hit it off ask him to go out with you again, and if it still is going good then ask him if he would like to "go with you". Then you have a steady boyfriend.  Good luck!

if you are nervous ask face to face, first ask him for his email address.  If he asks why you need his email , just say you have something to send to him.  Then ask him out by sending him email.

"say honey, after you pick up the kids what are you doing this weekend?"\n\nor some other lame pick-up line might work so you can spend time together with him away from work and get to know each other better\n\ncaution, though. dating someone at work is awkward, especially after a break-up (personal experience...)

If you want to let him know you're single, TELL HIM!  this doesn't have to be direct, but there's nothing wrong with approaching him, amd introducing yourself.  The status quo says that men are supposed to make the first move, but the status quo does not assure you that you are going to get a date.  Break tradition and YOU make the first move.  Just by introducing yourself and being cordial, most guys will pick up on the fact that you are available and ready to mingle.  Chances are, he may want to initiate a conversation or date with you, but he may fear that he will be rejected due to the fact that you could be in a relationship.  Trust me, be cordial, friendly, whatever you want to call it.  Chances are, it will pay off in your favor!!!!!!
