text: i'm having trouble talking to my crush! help!? i like this guy that i work with, but i'm getting really mixed messages. for example, i've noticed that he walks away whenever i walk up to wherever he happenes to be standing.. i thought he was quiet at work, but i came out of the break room early yesterday and he was standing with the other workers talking to them.. as i walked up, he walked away! the few times i talk to him, he smiles and looks embarrased, but why does he walk away? i'm getting mixed messages... for example - when i first come into work, he'll stop whatever he's doing and walk my way to say hello (though i've seen him do this for another girl, too)..  but whenever i go up to him to ask him a work related question, he'll answer me while walking away...  i've invited him out to hang out with us, and he smiled and said that i should give him more notice and that next time he'll come out with us.. not a yes, but not a no..  what the hell is up with this guy? should i even bother persuing this? you could be making yourself too obviously interested for his comfort.  you know, i'm sure, how workplace rumors can crush a persons reputation and perhaps he's trying to avoid anyone witnessing anything that will look bad for the both of you in the long run.
