I dont know if hes gay or not, but I really want to tell him

I haven't really been in this situation before, but I have wondered what someone's reaction would be before I came out to them. There's no way to really know for sure what someone will think, but getting to know them better on a friends level first definitely helps I think. Have you considered approaching him something along the lines of 'hey I've seen you around quite a bit' maybe ask him what he does (even if you already know it's a different sector from you) and ask him if he wants to hang out as friends or something.

When I was wondering what other people's reaction would be to coming out, it was my friends' reactions that I was scared of, even though I was pretty sure I knew them well enough to know that it wouldn't change anything in our friendship.

So all in all, try to get to know him as a friend and try to find out his view of the lgbt community. Use that to judge whether you think it'd be safe to come out to him or not and to see whether he's someone you're actually interested in or not.

 

I'm in the exact same situation as yourself, and to make matters even more difficult I work in predominantly male industry.

I'd start off by making small talk with the guy and see where it goes, what's the worst that could happen? Good luck!

 

I agree with the answers above. As you have something in common already (work) you could start a conversation about this and test the waters. Feeling comfortable, see if you want to hang out more and maybe become friends and maybe during the journey tell him how you feel. Talking is step 1, making a start, and from there on, see how the path goes! Good luck
