"If I were that guy I would appreciate, and respect you, if you simply walked up to me and asked me out to lunch or coffee, something neutral. No lines. No hype. Just be straightforward and natural. From there nature will take its course. Of course you would have to find the right opportunity where it was just the two of you.
