Dear Matt-
There is a cute guy in my building that I seem to run into all the time. He smiles at me, but it never progresses beyond that. Any way to wake up my neighbor?
If you want to be your own cupid, here are a few power moves that might wake up his romantic soul.
Be aggressive. What do you have to lose? Stop him and look him right in the eyes and introduce yourself. This will give him the opportunity to get your number. If he is timid and doesn’t ask for your digits, his loss.
Leave a note. The doorman can be your best friend, leave a note with him that says you both seem to be so busy, but you wanted to formally introduce yourself, then leave your phone number and leave the ball in his court.
Have a group of friends over from your building. This way you can casually invite him and a buddy for your “little get together.” This is very informal and non committal, just the kind of invitation he will respond to.
