I’ve had a crush on a coworker forever and we’re stuck in this stupid small talk phase. I’m over analyzing and freeze up and don’t know how to push it forward. How do I get him to make the first move?

Technically you can't because you making any move to get him to make a move would technically be the first move, yes? In any case, do you really want a guy who can't make the first move? To each their own but if you're in the camp that thinks guys should initiate first, it doesn't sound compatible if you have to trick him into acting.

Totally agree. I want a grown up man who can confidently ask me to hang out

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far. I regularly get mistaken as the “administrative assistant” in meetings and email chains, have had things said to me by men such as “the only way you work in private equity is as a receptionist”, and have even been at networking events where men have literally grabbed my ass when no one was looking. Any advice on how to handle this?

Am I wrong to be pissed off about this?
