I walked into the office and meet the eyes of a prior client who gave this HUGE smile and then looked away as if he didn't want me to realize he was smiling at me. I asked my co-workers why he was not sitting with one of them and they teased that he was waiting for me, wouldn't allow anyone else to serve him, the office flirt proclaiming, "I don't blame him!" So I settle myself and call him to do his work. But in the back of my mind I wonder how I should handle him and the situation: here's a nice, working man who obviously delights in seeing me...what to do? There are obvious answers, but not if you always wait for "him" (any "him") to make the first move which he is too kind/insecure/shy to do, so what do you do about a smile?
Well, the obvious answer is get over your own kindness/insecurity/shyness and ask him out, but there's always an intellectual barrier...so, what do you do about a smile? Someone tell me please?

As someone who is too kind/insecure/shy to approach a guy on her own, I would at least sit next to him at lunch. I would give the guy every opportunity in the world to say what he needs to say, without putting myself out there.
For me that's progress. Before, I would just stay far away and then stare at him from that distance. (Remember, Louis from undergrad).. LOL
