<human>: My questions to you are:

Is it stupid to confess feelings if it may have been obvious before? I don't think I hid liking him very well however this guys social skills aren't very good at all so I could see the possibility where maybe it wasn't apparent to him.

If I am deciding to say something should I ask about his dating status first or just ask if he's interested in going to do something with me and see if he rejects? (He would reject of course if he was dating someone).

Background: Co-worker left company a couple months ago. Awkward guy with less than par social skills. 

Were close friends when we worked together however never crossed lines because he had a girlfriend. I have deep feelings for him which I hoped would fade since he left the company however after a few months I am just growing more lovesick. I am not sure if he is with his girlfriend still (it doesn't indicate one way or another on Facebook). He seemed committed however from what I heard they fought semi-often and seemed incompatible in a few other areas so I wouldn't be surprised if they were broken up. 

Without trying to be arrogant, I am a pretty girl and can tell when someone is interested in me. He displayed a lot of things that indicated that he likes me. On his last day he let me keep a book of his and said returning it would be a reason to see each other again. 

We've had a just a couple short chats online since he left, mostly about his new job and school. 
Despite not seeing him on the daily any more or talking to him much at all, I am consumed with missing him. 

There is something that worries me. I think we clicked really well and I feel he is a better match than anyone I could imagine; I never believed in deep overwhelming love until I met him. However if hasn't made any point to pursue me (if he and his girlfriend have broken up) then he must not have seen the same potential I did. I am not sure if I can blame this on him being too shy/awkward to say anything.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
