Have a thing for someone
喜欢某人
I have a thing for a new guy in accounting.
awkward尴尬
That guy!? He’s kind of awkward, don’t you think?
He seems kind of nerdy.
他看起来有点书呆子气。
Go out on a limb
特立独行,冒险
No way, i think nerdy guys are cute. I am just to shy to tell him that.
You should go out on a limb and tell him you like him! He would be so lucky to date you.
