    Can't believe i'm writing this. It's preposterous really and not a really serious issue but I need some advice. I'm in late 20s (so definitely not an infant, and normally am very mature), working in a company with about 80 people and there's a guy i get on great with. he's in another department so i wouldn't have a huge amount of contact with. anyway, went out last weekend for work drinks and although nothing physical happened we spent the whole night huddled in a corner, then on to a club and having a fab time. outrageous flirting etc. people in the smoking garden, randomers, were saying that they were sure we're a couple etc.......Fast forward to this week in work. i simply dunno how to act around him in work!!!!! the professional, hard-nosed professional that i am turns into a gibbering wreck every time i see him. the shame! don't have that much contact normally but now i can't even make eye contact. how embarassing.

    PS he's kinda seein someone but it's not serious, i'm a free agent.

    Grit your teeth walk right up to him, say hi, see what happens. He could be embarrassed too, but he may be really confused by you blowing hot and cold. Maybe if you break the ice with a normal conversation, even acknowledge that you feel a bit weird about the night out, you may get over your awkwardness. After that, see how it goes, good luck!

    Next time he comes into your department, begin a
    conversation with one of your friends.

    From a distance, make eye contact, wink at him
    then resume the comversation with your friend.
    Don't look up again.

    He might come over, or he might go back to his
    department after finishing his work in your area.

    Either way, it will drive him crazy and will result in him
    thinking about you for the rest of the day.

    Try it.;) hehe
