How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/How can I get him to ask me on a date?

Question
I just met this guy who works at my college and I'm so attracted to him. I do not know if he is involved with someone. I have had short conversations with him, but that's pretty much it. It's almost impossible to run into him because we work at two different places and I don't want to be perceived as a stalker. How can I get his attention so he can ask me out? I really do not want to do the asking.  

Answer
if you don't want to take the lead, you're pretty much dependent on him to make a move; if he's interested, he'll let you know; there's no point in any "over the top" attempts to garner his attention; if being yourself isn't enough, it wouldn't be going very far anyway; what you CAN do is try to at least be somewhere on occasion where he at least sees you; if you do get other opportunities to chat, try to ask questions and extend the conversation as long as you can; the rest is up to him, at least until you're ready to ask him if he'd like to have coffee sometime...az
