Send him a card with ' can I buy you a drink' written in it

Life is too short not to tell people how you feel

Do you have a work email? If so send him a happy birthday mail marked as urgent and ask him if you can treat him to a birthday drink x

Has he given any signs he likes you? I ask as how would you feel seeing him every day if he didn't feel the same? It's wise not to mix business with pleasure, lost count of the number of grievance/disciplinary cases I've had to deal with when things go tits up, but only you can decide if it's worth the risk: good luck!

Why not ask him if he's gay first? He may be offended if your sniffing around over a possible wife.

Maybe adopt the usual call centre approach and bombard him with calls (particularly at tea time or when a big footie match has just kicked off) and don't give in until he signs on the dotted line.

there's a saying in the US, "don't shit where ya eat". basically it is a warning about getting it on with a coworker. if things go belly up you still have to work with the fellow. maybe a one nighter would be fine but you really don't want anything long term with somebody you work with. it will cause problems in the long run if you both stay working there.

I'd hate it if a woman I only knew in passing made me a cake. My 'psycho' alarm would go off! Just laugh at some of his jokes and flutter your eye lashes; if he's keen he'll ask you.

Having said that, I know people meet at work all the time. But I always think it's best not to shit on your own doorstep.

You would/could only make yourself look foolish if it was totally inappropriate to approach him on another level. Only you know the answer to that one. Personally I would find it really refreshing for a woman to make the first move. We are in the 21st century after all.

The exact same thing happened on the reality tv show the call centre too, although I'm sure the OP is not a complete fruitcake like the girl on the telly was lol.

There are loads of couples where I work, including manager/subordinate relationships, which I find weird
