No expert here but if there is anything you already know he likes start there. Be it sports, food or any shared interest you guys have. (??) Once you un-wallflower I'm sure he will be chasing you in no time.

This is not "PC" but IMHO nature created men to chase women, and made men faster than women to boot.  :-) This is as likely a reason as I can figure as to why nature gave us the short end of the stick on brains.  :(

However, the above depends on him seeing you (oh shy one) and knowing your available. I can say that in my case (and we are the same age) that I've always liked a woman making the "first move". I've always found it flattering and endearing. My advise, make him chase you until you catch him.

Do you perchance have any mutual friends/acquaintances you could go through to set you up?
If not, why not take the plunge and invite him out on a date?  Since he's moving, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I haven't EVER been bashful so if you are shy not sure what to advise.  Maybe Gina or mamacags could help out cuz I have observed how shy and retiring they both are. :tongue: :-)

Well my friend and I were making smores out on the barbie, and I made two for him. She went inside while I delivered, anyway we(Jim and i) both ended up outside because his dog needed to go and started talking about the movie Pirahna. About what he was doing tomorrow. Going up to Sunday River to deliver stuff. I think that was a good icebreaker. :yahoo: cross your fingers for me.......

Once I was at a bar, playing darts with a friend of mine that got real drunk.  The guys playing at the board next to us started up a chat.  I chatted back, and bet them we could beat them, my buddy couldn't even walk.  I won.   :-)  They couldn't play.  One guy gave me his number.  I thought he was cute, and I lived close to the bar, I called him as soon as I got home, thinking I would leave a cute message, and he was already home, he lived even closer!  I broke all the rules, and we ended up dating for 3 years.  This was many years ago, and my current boyfriend, of over 9 years still says he was the coolest guy I ever dated.  LOL!

Just follow your guts, show a little moxie.  What is there to lose?  Absotively nothing.  Ask him to dinner before he moves.  Why not?

Oh, wow, crossed fingers, toes and eyes for you, seahorse.
Now, you say he has a dog.  Heh, if you don't have a dog, mention you're thinking about adopting a pound puppy and solicit his opinion on what type of mutt he'd recommend.
IF he has a purebred pooch, don't rail about how everyone should adopt from a shelter.
If he's got a mutt ask where the dog was adopted from, etc.
Oh woman, there's a world of convo right there.

You know, I have always had my  best luck by just going ballsout and asking them what I wanted to ask them.  Most men appreciate a woman that is not going to stand by meekly.

I met my hubby in a bar.  I asked him to buy me a drink and he said no.  No one had ever told me no so he had me  :lmao:

Suggestion - don't talk about any physical woes, no matter how "promising" things look.

I remember a Date from Hell. I met this critter through match.com back in its early days. I had had reservations from the start, but agreed to meet her in a public place because I just didn't trust the situation/her. We met at a Steak 'n Shake for lunch.

That critter ran her mouth from beginning to end about every disease known to man that she had had or continued to have; explained how she was orphaned at the age of 6 and sold into slavery, on and on and on and on.

She actually called me and wondered when we'd connect again. I told her it just wasn't in the cards.
