Here's the deal - There are two guys who live across the hall from me (I live in a group home), and they have a friend who I like who visits them on occasion. The friend, "Johannes", meets my personal criteria in terms of education, intelligence, humor and respect.

I get the feeling that "Johannes" likes me also, if my "woman's intuition" is even half-way right. Here is where I need advice about how to let "Johannes" know that I'd like to get to know him and hopefully not bring up any problems with the two guys across the hall!

Do I put a note on "Johannes" windshield indicating he's welcome to call me with my phone number on it? Do I tell him as he's headed out the door? Or do I leave things as they are?

Honestly, I would ask if he wanted to do something sometime and then you can exchange phone numbers. I do this so that it would make more sense to have his number so you could plan some get-together or something. You could just give him your number and ask for him to text/call you sometime. Guys have usually given me their phone numbers first (so weird, right?) so I don't know how to do it the other way. >.<

the windshield thing might be abit awkward if he doesn't call you. Catch him when he's on his way out so if you can both escape easy:D

Just be yourself and keep trying to make conversation. Eventually you may find the whole thing falls right into place. thats usually the only way that I ever progress past the point of awkward infatuation. You'd be surprised how much he might feel the same way about you.

Hmm don't do the windshield thing. I'm no expert on this stuff but I think this is something you should try. Next time he visits, hang out with his group and talk to him. I don't think you mentioned anything about visiting them when they're all together. I'm not sure what they do when Johannes is there, but bring some yummy delicious cookies and bring along a game or movie :lol: wait I can feel the plan failing. Okay skip the part where you figure out how to hang out with them. When Johannes is leaving and everyone saying the goodbyes, say "hey it was nice seeing you" or make a comment about something else that happened that day and when/if hes smiling (people usually smile when they say byes), and after he comments/replies, casually write your number on a small paper and say "hey call me sometime" with a smile. Then after he says something, say see ya/bye/good night or something along the lines of a bye.
