‎Hey guys I kind of need your advice. I just started working at this really cool place we’re everybody is nice,cool and really friendly but amongst these friendly people one stood out. From the first day I walked in I noticed him and I think he noticed me too because I remember asking myself why he felt the need to walk by a couple of times when he clearly didn’t have a reason to. He’s a really nice guy and very shy. My department is under his so we have to work closely and report any problems to him. I noticed I’d find my self wishing there was a problem so I could go to him to report just to see him.

We talked mostly about work and acted really professional all the time but he started coming into my office to say hello or check if everybody was ok everyday. Most times he would just come and ask if everything is ok and when he’s there he finds a way to say something to me, which surprised everybody because they said he never came into the office or really talk to them until I arrived. That mostly he kept to himself and they were used to it,so they only look for him when it’s important.
The others in my department started sending me to him when they have a problem because they said he handles my work personally but passes theirs off to someone else,when clearly he’s the best and everybody prefers him working on their task personally,hearing that made me happy. After awhile I told myself that maybe I just liked flirting with him because he’s extra shy that it’s adorable and that the extra half hour I spend in front of the mirror every morning was because I feel like and not because I want to look extra nice incase I have to go to him and report another “problem”.

Everybody in my department concluded he was nice but that in my case it was more than being nice that liked me and started to say maybe because he is so shy and I look unapproachable that’s why he hasn’t said anything but I told myself and them that we were just being really nice to each other while doing our jobs,that there’s nothing and that I can’t even date a colleague. So I come in 2 days later and hear he got a better job and has resigned,immediately I feel so sad and helpless because I realised I wasn’t just being nice or flirting, I actually like him a lot, I don’t know why I like him but I do and now he’s gone and we didn’t get to talk about much except work or even exchange contacts. Now I’m thinking if I should just let it go or ask for his number. BT if I do get his number I can’t call him because it’s something I don’t think I can bring myself to do or what do you guys think?
