Macy, 23, from St.George asks:

So this guy at my worked said he "liked me" but it was on the internet and he always writes me these cute e-mails but at work he flirts with so many other girls and he barely talks to me. I think he's shy but my best friend says that he might be embarrassed to talk to me. What should I do? I like him a lot but I'm not really sure if he likes me. Should I ask him out or will he think I'm a freak.

VictorM's advice:

It's entirely possible he's told lots of other girls that he "likes them" and sends them cute emails. But that he flirts with other girls at work and not you suggests that he does like you. Trust me, in guy logic, this makes sense.

Of course, that you are coworkers could be complicating things. But if you're willing to take a chance, it would be wiser to ask him to go to some event with you. For example: "Hey, I'm going to see *pick a movie you know he wants to see*, would you like to come along?" Once you get him out of the office and away from the internet you might get a better sense of what his intentions are.

Don't be too obvious about your attentions. If he's not interested in you the same way you are about him it would turn things awkward for both of you at work.
