crush advice needed

Hey ladies. I would appreciate some advice. I have a crush on a guy at work. He works in a different department and we do not know each other and haven't even spoken. I just see him occasionally in passing in our building. Every time I see him and we make eye contact, he either looks away quickly or just avoids eye contact completely. I HATE THIS! I really want to get to know him, but I am an introvert and initiating conversation is quite daunting for me. Plus we are never in an environment that gives me the opportunity to introduce myself. I am not sure what to make of this. On one hand, I want to just forget about this guy because i have liked him for over 4 months and it has gone NO WHERE. He seems to be uninterested. But on the other hand, there could be different factors that are making him hold back (he may want to avoid a workplace relationship, he may not have a lot of experience dating black women, he could be in a relationship, he is a cancer and they tend to be quite sensitive, shy and protective of themselves/others). I don't know if I should take the eye contact thing as lack of interest or as him maybe being interested but unsure of how to proceed. I don't want to make excuses for him because he is a grown ass man that should be capable of going after what he wants, however I do acknowledge that for some this is easier said than done. I really want to approach him (not in a desperate or unprofessional way) and get to know him. What is the best way to do this in a casual way? I have tried to forget about him, but knowing myself I will not be able to move on with my infatuation until i experience for myself whether this guy could be right for me or not. I hate having to live with what-ifs. Thanks so much in advance.

Next time u see him just say "Hey my name is .....and I work in the .....dept, I usually see you around. What's your name" I agree with the little nudge. If anything he might be just as shy as u

LOL..He probably doesn't want to talk to you if he's avoiding eye contact

Hey all, thanks for your advice. I found out he is a cancer by stalking his facebook page I had to make sure we would be compatible and astroloically we are (cancer and Scorpio). I too have concerns that he isn't interested because of the eye contact thing, but some say guys who do that may actually like you but are shy. Is that more common in teenage boys? I don't think he knows I like him. We don't see each other enough for him to have any idea that I like him. I don't think my body language shows it either. bunny, you asked have I talked to him? No, I have not:(

Emily, thanks for your advice. I actually tell myself this in my head. It is easier said than done because that's just how I've always been, even as a child. Plus, I have a way of thinking negative thoughts about how things will go if I do say hello. I am trying to work on building my confidence. But you're totally right, if I don't take a chance, I could miss out on a great opportunity.
