      Reaching out to people that you are attracted to can be difficult because of the fear of being rejected. However, they are no different than how would approach a friend, family or other person. The initial hello and coming up with small talk is the same idea except the person is front of you is attractive.

      The best way to do this when you are nervous is to talk to people who share interest. Do they go to school with you? Are they working? Did you meet them at the movies? This way there is already a commonality between you an it gives you the first conversation topic. Find other people who like what you like and try to mingle from there.

      Otherwise, just be honest. Tell them who you are, why you approached the (they said something smart, they like the same team, you find them beautiful etc) and then build the conversation from there. Tell them about yourself, and ask questions about them. You are attracted to them and ideally as you learn more about them you will become interested in them.

      Everyone has nerves and the girls know that.

  3. I have been crushing on mercy for over 3month now, and i dont kwn where to start from. We are working in thesame place but sometime we will overlook ourself. I serious need help.
    And again i have a girlfriend but i dont know why am having crush on another girl…

    1. Well, airborne it’s totally common to have a crush on other people when in a relationship, the difference is what you choose to do with the feelings. For one, having a crush on a co-worker is often a bad idea but it can sometimes lead to a long-term relationship. First, be sure that it is not against workplace rules to date coworkers. Second, think about your current relationship and think about whether it is worth losing over this crush – how do you think your girlfriend would feel if she found out. Unless your girlfriend is okay with you being with other women, I suggest you think carefully about your next steps. Should you choose to date, here are tips to help you: Top tips for dating a colleague
