I've got sort of a complicated question. Here's the deal I am very interested in this young lady that works at my local bank. A couple of years ago she flirted with me and although I welcomed her attention I did not pursue her for two reasons. The first reason, I was not ready for a relationship at the time. The second reason which prevents me from meeting many women is that I am shy and often cannot think of what to say to connect with women. To make a long story short now I am ready for a relationship however I am still very shy. The dilemma I am facing with this young lady is after she flirted with me a couple of years ago I never really said much to her since then because of my shyness. I see her at the bank at least once a week and we make eye contact sometimes but we rarely speak. The main reason why we don't speak is because I try to cover up my shyness by acting like I don't care. But even though we hardly speak I don't get the impression that she would totally reject me if I mustered up the courage to talk to her, I feel like she has at least left the door cracked. I still believe she is attracted to me but at this point I just don't know how to approach her since it's been two years since she really showed clear interest in me. I like her disposition so much I am not willing to let my shyness cripple me this time, but at this point what do I say to her? how do I approach her? Will she think I'm weak because I waited so long to approach her? Or maybe by now she has a boy friend. It just feels awkward. I also want to mention that I do not come in direct contact with her because she is not a teller at the bank she is often behind a desk busy with customers which even makes it more difficult to approach her. Any suggestions or advice would be very helpful.
