A few months ago, I was at a friend's gig at a local bar when I saw this older man outside. He was incredibly attractive, and I really wanted to talk to him, but he was constantly surrounded by people. I ended up leaving, but I couldn't get him out of my head for the rest of the night.

Then Monday comes, I’m in the parking lot at my university, and I see him again! It turns out he’s the coordinator for the Music department. Most of my friends are music majors, so he’s actually their professor (not mine, though—I’m a Psychology student). He’s around 40M (single) and I’m 20F.

Since finding this out, I’ve started attending several recitals on campus and even one off-campus event since he’s also the conductor of the university orchestra. Whenever I see him on campus, I make sure to smile or say hi, but I haven't done anything bolder than that.

I really want to get closer to him or start a conversation, but I’m stuck. How should I approach him without it being weird? Any tips on how to break the ice? (Also, my uni doesn't have any rules against staff-student relationships, as far as I've read, anyway! :)

TL;DR:Saw a hot older guy at a bar, turned out to be the Music coordinator at my uni. I’m a Psych major. How do I talk to him?
