How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/asking a guy out

Question
There is this really hot guy that works at my gym, but he only works 2 days a week. My friend also works at the smoothie place connected to it and he told her that he thought I was hot. I have only had one real conversation with him, a long time ago, since then its just been "hey how you doing" "Bye, have a good night". I really want to talk to him, and I wish he'd just talk to me, but my friend said he is a bit shy (but single :)). I thought of dropping him a note saying "Call me" with my number when I return the key to the tanning bed, but I don't know if that is too stupid since we havent talked much. He is a soph in college and I am a fresh. I guess I am just intimidated by hot guys cuz im afriad they'll shoot me down. I want to just go up and talk to him but itd be kind of weird b/c he just sits behind the counter. Any tips?! Thanks!

Answer
nothing ventured, nothing gained, or how bout, "he who hesitates is lost"?..just go up and start a conversation with him; ask him a gym related question, give him a compliment, or anything else that comes into your mind; if you're feeling really confident that day, after talking a few minutes, just tell him he seems like a nice guy and you he wanted to know if he's like to have coffee or a drink sometime; the worst that could happen is he says no; so what??..now you can put it out of your mind, feel good that you overcame your anxiety and made the effort, think it's HIS loss, and you're still hot...
