Default Feeling slightly unconfident in approaching someone I like.

Falling for a professional type whose advocating for my friend. Have talked to him, hes has a absolutely wonderful personality, I really like him alot my friend calls him shrek, but not to me at all. He is really responsive to me, but don't know if he likes me in the way i want him to.

He is absolutely nice to me, but don't know how to approach this due to my silly obstacles. Such as he's representing my friend, so may be a close call for him, oh yes he could well be gay and i'm not working, he is.

Intuition tells me he likes me, but it may just be because of my responses back to him. Its hard as we are from different races, friends and family would be shocked everybody probably think he was my sugar daddy so there would be lots of looks, not worried in the least, just want to know how i can understand if he likes me, as time is running out where my friends issues will be sorted and finalized very very soon.

Please advise.

My girlfriend was stuck in the same scenario when we first met... we had mutual friends and she did not want to be abrupt by asking me out on a date and I was also interested in her but believed she was dating someone else. She asked me to hangout with her and a few of her friends at a local bar and was welcome to bring friends.

Ask him out for coffee or do what AJKumar said. You can also do what Jim said and ask him out for drinks.

It's just a date, it's not the end of the world. Go have fun.

If time is short you have to try something otherwise you will never know. I agree with the advice to go out somewhere with just the two of you.

If you decide you do want to try this relationship out then you have to make a move and make it clear. No real way around it.

I tried to ask his PA some questions around this but their busy trying to get lost evidence, ask if he will be free tomorrow, said no not really only if it is important.

so stupidly shy, didn't acknowledge his looks yesterday, so today when i saw him from afar, he blanked my looks.

Now sad case me feels unconfident in my looks because he blanked me. Will try again tomorrow even if I have to mention to his PA that I think he's cute.

Don't go through his PA, sounds like it is important to you.
