Every time your boss smiles at you, it feels as though you are the only person in his world.

In these moments, regardless of how many co-workers are about, all you see is him too.

The eye contact and glistening smile directed at you is more exhilarating than anything you can think of.

You don’t remember ever getting this giddy when you had your first crush back in high school.

Whenever your boss is helping you out with a work task, his physical closeness makes your heart beat faster.

His strong and intoxicating masculine odor makes you almost delirious.

In these moments, he touches you briefly from time to time, whether it be your hand, back, shoulder, etc.

It doesn’t last long, but there is a palpable sense of connection that transpires when there is physical proximity and brief touch.

On top of this, he is no stranger to giving you compliments, and it doesn’t always have to do with work either.

Sometimes, he compliments something you are wearing, whether it be jewelry or a piece of clothing.

Thanks to all of this, you are considering asking him out.

You have already talked to several of your close friends and family about him.

They have given you a variety of opinions about what they think about all of this.

Some support the idea of you asking him out, and others don’t.

Regardless of what they have all told you, there is no doubt that you are thinking about taking things to a new level with him.

Each day that passes without doing something makes you worry about the possibility of losing out on an opportunity for romance with him.

After all, there have been several moments you have seen other female co-workers show what seemed to be an interest in him.

You have seen a female co-worker or two look at him with longing eyes and heard others talk about him with glowing words of admiration.

Given the fact other female co-workers are attracted to him, you are fearful that if you don’t ask him out soon, you are about to lose him.

Whether it be with him getting bored of you and taking away his attention or him taking an interest in a different female co-worker.

Although you are right in thinking about making a move on him while his interest in you seems formidable, you are better off building a rapport with him first outside of the workplace.

Building a rapport with him outside of the workplace facilitates an organic connection that isn’t based on workplace influence.

Since you both work at the same workplace, take advantage of that by inviting him to come along with you and your other work friends to a lunch, happy hour, etc.

This makes it so much easier to meet with him outside of the workplace without there being any sense of inappropriateness or awkwardness.

He is also bound to be more relaxed in social venues outside of the workplace.

This means you get to talk to him on a more personal basis and begin the process of building a much stronger rapport with him than anything you have experienced with him in the workplace.

Not only do these spaces outside of work enable you to talk to each other about a wide range of conversational topics, but they also facilitate flirting.

All of this creates a deeper connection between you, which makes asking him out in the foreseeable future far more organic.
