Is He Shy Or Just A Creeper?

[MDWCT2018]

I work in a large corporate building - we have about 7 different offices within the building (500 + employees) and loads of restaurants and bars below us.

There is one man that I have noticed, and he noticed me initially for nearly 5 years now.

What I find really frustrating is - he obviously likes me. He waves/ nods hello at me for example and has signalled for a drink. Once he even got his friends to get up and was signalling to me come and sit next to him in the bar (I was in the opposite coffee shop... there are a lot of glass walls )

What I find really frustrating is He never approaches me, its all gestures and signals from afar.

My work colleagues say he is shy, insecure and uncertain because I am out of his league (btw many men who are not in my league have no problem whatsoever asking out so I don't believe that argument one bit), I have had this with previous exes so it does make some sense but even then .... is he too spineless, or a timewaster for me to spend my time thinking about him?

I cannot approach him myself, because I am not the man - sorry but that is how I feel about it. Is there anything else I can do?

My work friends won't approach him because they are like why does he not get his friends to approach you instead?

Have you had relationships in the 5 years that this has been going on. Is it a wind up.
