So I have a major thing for this Scottish guy I recently met, who just moved down to the UK from Glasgow :$ He's stunningly cute, and very, very intelligent and passionate about what he does (he's an engineer, and my firm is paying for employee "training events" that his company also attends for the next 6 months, so I get to see him every few weeks or so). When he "opens up" to me, we get along like a house on fire. I just feel like I "get" him and he "gets" me.
Thing is, though, he's quite stoic/impassive/unemotional at times, and a bit rude (in the sense of being uber pragmatic and down-to-earth, so he won't even do things like make small talk or respond to people sometimes but just rushes around in a hurry). He's also a bit grumpy/pessimistic, and I am naturally a positive person so when he takes it OTT I find it depressing to be around him. I'm not offended by it, but, being the sort of person who's very extroverted (if not emotional), it's sometimes impossible to get through to him when he's in "introvert mode." He won't even make small talk (other people have pointed this out behind his back too). He is ridiculously into his work, which I admire, but he seems almost asexual and I'm not sure how he'd respond if I hit on him.
Workplace rules and personal ethics being what they are, I'm not sure if I should hit on him till our firms stop hosting events together; but I was considering getting to know him better and then asking him out for a drink or something once that time is up.
However, I'm not sure if he would respond to someone who's his complete opposite in a lot of ways (very sociable, positive, outgoing, touchy-feely, loves other people) hitting on him, or how best I should go about it.
tl;dr - met a Scottish cutie-pie through work events; want to hit on him, but aren't sure how he'll take it as he's a bit introverted/blunt and I'm the complete opposite (extroverted, "in your face," sociable). Should I? Does he sound worth it?
Advice please :D
Put the internet to work for you.
