    Pass him a note.

    "Are you taken? Circle yes or no."

    Winner. k mods, lock the thread.

    Avoid workplace relationships. If anything avoid dating the intern, the IT guy and most importantly your boss.

    A tricky-sneaky way: End up talking about apartments somehow and ask about his roommates. That is pretty safe, and then if he has a significant other living with him, he'll tell you. (e.g. "Oh, no, I live with my girlfriend, Cindy...blah blah blah")
    Oooh, I kinda like this idea. This is something I can work with :)

    Hahaha, Glad I could be of service! :laugh:

    F**king brilliant. I'm doing it.

    I DO talk to him, you guys. Every day. Just about work stuff.

    Urrrggh. He is one of these.

    I guess we'll change the subject, then and talk about thigh gaps and eating back my exercise calories.

    Both are boring topics.

    you can always plan an afterwork thing- drinks after work -and invite several people from the office- and let him know he could ask his Significant Other - as spouses, and partners would be welcome.

    Yes but they are discussed extensively and repeatedly on here so I figured I'd join the bandwagon.

    So you have a crush on the IT guy at work, huh?

    You could always ask him if his women has ever heard of this MFP site, that it totally rocks...

    hahahaha This is the best. I would pay to see that go down.

    And innocently ask him if she has as much to lose as I do, or more? Tee hee :)

    You know what. Let's solve this.

    Teena, send me a message with his name and a way to contact him. I'll just call, ask if he's single and be done with it.

    BTW, if he gets a little too excited saying yes, we know he's um, not the guy for you. :)

    Ok, I'm sending it over on a piece of paper now. Circle if he is or isn't, then send it back to me.

    Listen, IT guys are geeks and like geeky things. After you send him the note and he passes it back and has circled the answer you want, just buy him a duct tape wallet or lego and he'll be yours forever and ever.

    Heh, there are always background checks online if you don't mind dishing out 15-20 bucks for the info. Of course, you always risk uncovering something worse than a marriage license.

    I didn't read the entire thread, but why not just have casual conversation with the dude.

    I am sure if you ask about his weekend, you'll figure out if his activities included a girlfriend. If he's married, he'll have a ring

    1. go up to person you like
    2. do you have a boyfriend/wife?
    3. Yes i do! (look like this -_- ) No (proceed to ask if he will be free one day) set up date.

    Dude, just walk up to him and say "Hey, are you single?"
    It's not like you're asking him if his bowel movements are regular or something.

    Funny, I'm going through the same thing right now. I know she had a boyfriend, but she was acting friendly. Tried not to read much into it, but I asked her out to lunch, and without missing a beat she said sure. Still, it's at work and people eat lunch all the time with each other. Lol. So, I gotta play it easy and see where it goes. Could be nothing, or could be exciting. :-).

    Good luck.

    There's always the "have a couple of drinks to build courage and then ask" strategy.

    It doesn't always go down well though...I did exactly this to a mate of my brother's....it went like this:

    Me: I think you're cute. Are you single?
    Him: Thank you....and no, there's my girlfriend (points to gf).
    Me: Right. Ok then.

    *slunk away in shame*

    Ok, so maybe this ISN'T the way to go? :blushing:

    Exactly! That's exactly how I DON'T want it to go! Especially because I'll then have to see him at work!
