A co-worker and friend of mine likes one of the physicians at the hospital where we work, but isn't sure if he's single and would be interested in her. He's a nice guy whom we interact with frequently over the phone and sometimes make small talk with on the floors. She doesn't want to ask him or even drop hints because if he isn't available and detects her motive, it would just make for an awkward work relationship from then on. So now she wants me to do the detective work for her, but I don't want him to think that I'm the one who's interested in him. She says he doesn't wear a wedding ring or other jewelry, but that may or may not mean anything. Any advice for my friend or how I can help her without putting myself in an awkward situation? Thanks for reading.
