I'm a female student in my twenties doing work experience and I really like one of the guys from the department upstairs. I'm working with him a lot at the moment and I think he likes me. He is always teasing me, he spends a lot of time chatting to me on my department when he's "bored upstairs" and he has made it clear through telling me funny stories of how he failed to pull at the weekend, that he is single and available. He's just come out of a relationship so I suppose I'm worried that if he does like me it's only for sex. He's a nice guy though and doesn't strike me as the user/abuser type. I was thinking that the next time he cracks me up with one of his funny stories I would follow up with saying "forgive me if I've read this wrong but would you like my number", what do you think? Does he really like me? Should I ask him out? Any blokes out there you advice would be most welcome.

It definitely sounds like he enjoys your company. To see if it could go further maybe you should say something at the end of your work experience placement. You could just friendly ask if he wants to stay in contact and go for a drink.
If you've made some good friends at the company, you could also arrange a night out and make sure that you invite him. By the end of the night more and more people will have called it a night and hopefully it will end up being just the two of you out.

Follow your heart and yeah go by your INSTINCT.
women have a 6 th sense which is like a hunch .
if u really feel like asking him out and then do so , but my advice to you would be to just be strictly on a coffee/lunch/dinner/movie date .dont get sexually involved with him immediately ,for the simple reason that its probably too early to tell and also for the fact that he has just come out of a relationship.
for all u know this could turn out to be one of the best relationships you've had in a long time .
all the best !!!
cheers :-)

Yeah ask him out he obviously likes you maybe a bit shy and thinks if he asks you out you will hate him... Also sounds like he is testing the water to see if he gets burnt, getting closer...
As for workplace romance... Anyone dares have a go at you for forming a relationship threaten to batter them to the point nobody will want to get near them ever again or mess up their relationship and see how they like it as anyone who dares do something like that is no different to a pimp controlling women like slaves or family honour killers.
Anyone decent would want you two to be happy... And if smart and you have a hot young fresh couple would manipulate it ...
ie you two get your quota you get five mins in the closet then raise the quota...

I know the kind of Guy you are talking about. I've been that guy. Chances are he's also trying to pluck up the courage to ask you out. Take the plunge but go out on your terms. He can only use and abuse if you let him. YOU make the rules.

Um... this is a tough one. He seems like a good guy. But they always say office romances are dangerous.
If you think that it will in no way affect your position for work experience I would go for it.

keep in mind going on a date isn't about sex it is about sharing your time with someone and getting to know someone better. sex should never enter into a relationship until both have gotten to know each other well enough not to have doubts about the other and their intentions. dating is just a way to get to know someone nothing more.

no, you shouldn't ask him out, because you will lose all the power. make him feel that you like him but not by sayng that to him directly
