For context, he was a new security guard that started at my job. The first time I saw him he was walking with one of his trainers and asked loud enough for me to hear but not directly asking me, what color red meant my department wears red at my job. When we got close enough to pas each other is when we locked eyes. That happened again over the next 3 days whenever we passed each other we just starred.
Then 2 months went by and I didn’t see him and almost let it go that I just made it up until I saw him on an elevator. I had a mask on so you could only see my eyes but I could feel my whole face light up to see him again. It confirmed to me he was real and I didn’t make him up. He hesitated to get on but once he saw my face is when he got in.
Then I saw him again a few days after that when I was going in to work he was coming off. When we passed each other we were still looking but he looked like he waited for me to say something. I didn’t but as soon as we passed he said to someone else leaving I hope you have a good night.
A few weeks after that I saw him again in the vestibule at my job and went to say hi. I didn’t stay long to chat but it was just me and him in the vestibule so it was clear I was talking to him. After that for the next 2 hours or so I kept passing his post cause I had to do my job, not like I was stalking him. When I was leaving he was talking with another guard whenever I passed them he stopped talking to the other guard to say bye I hope you have a good night I said you too he said thanks and we looked at each other until I got out the door.
What do you guys make of this? Is he just shy?
I want to give him a note with my name and number saying “use it when you’re ready for me to have yours”. Is that a good move or too bold for work?

What do you make of about 5 months of eye contact between 2 men without ever having a conversation? For context for context he was a new security guard that stared at my job.

Hey Reddit, I’m a guy looking for an outside perspective on a situation with a new male security guard at my job. This has been unfolding over the last 5 months, and the tension is crazy, but we’ve barely spoken a word to each other.
It all started on his first day. He was walking with a trainer and asked loudly enough for me to hear what the color red meant, which happens to be the color scrubs my department wears. As we passed each other in that moment, we locked eyes. For the next 3 days, every single time we crossed paths, we just stared deeply at each other with absolutely no conversation.
After that, two months went by without me seeing him at all. I almost convinced myself that I had just imagined the whole vibe until we randomly ended up on an elevator together. I had a face mask on, so you could only see my eyes, but I could feel my whole face completely light up to see him. He actually hesitated to get on the elevator at first, but once he saw my face, he stepped in. That intense eye contact completely confirmed to me that I hadn't made it up.
A few days later, we passed each other while I was coming into work and he was leaving. We were still staring, and it looked like he was waiting for me to say something, but I froze and didn't. The absolute second we passed each other, he loudly said to someone else who was leaving, "I hope you have a good night." A few weeks after that, I finally broke the ice. It was just the two of us alone in the entrance vestibule, so I went up and said a quick hello to him.
At the end of that shift, I had to walk past his post to leave the building. He was mid-conversation talking with another guard, but he** **completely stopped talking to his coworker just to say, "Bye, I hope you have a good night" to me. I told him "you too," he said thanks, and we held unbroken eye contact until the second I walked out the door.
What do you make of this? Is he just incredibly shy around other guys, or am I making something out of nothing?
I really want to take the initiative next time I see him. I'm planning on giving him a handwritten note with my name and phone number, saying: “use it when you’re ready for me to have yours”.
Do you think this note is a good move, or is it too bold for a workplace environment? How would you react if a guy gave you this?
