Damn, & I thought she was cool before...

[hzl eyed grl]

Viper, you're a cutie. Ask the girl out. That may be what she's hoping will happen. I know that you are scared because you've no experience. I have a few friends (Guys) that are older than you and in the same boat. I am also a virgin. (At 24) That shouldn't matter. She will prolly be happy that you don't want to jump her the minute you're out. Just don't regret NOT doing something. I was "in love" with someone for 12 years. I never told him. That is something that I regret. You always wonder what could've been. I hope it all turns out for the best for you. Really. And, if--WHEN--you ask her out, it doesn't go well....You can always tell her.....Yeah, well BITE ME!

Like it's been said earlier: GO GET 'EM TIGER! Rrrrreeeooooowwww

 

[Frenchie]

Viper.....Just ask her out. Stop thinking about it so much. If she says no, not a big deal. (Especially since you still have Sarah.) If yes, there ya go!

 

[Mday]

viper is so screwed ;-) lol

at least he wishes =)

 

[Electric Amish]

Well, like the Nike ads say:

"Just Do Her"


errrrrrr..............

"It"

"Just Do It"


Whatever! You get my point.

amish

 

[Eeks]

Dude, go for it. Just be calm and confident. That is the key.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Can you get me her number? Geek girls are a rare treasure

 

[Yeeny]

Well how about if and when you get another job, asking her then? That way, at least if she says no, you don't have to face her everyday. I agree with everyone though, you should ask her. Hindsight is always 20/20, and trust me, it sucks! And that shy thing can be an edge, women like men who are not all over them. Good luck!

Viper,

Good God...dating does not imply some deep intimate relationship. It implies "hey let's go out, have some fun and move from there" Go on a date with her, and have some fun. Hopefully you'll like her company enough to keep on dating and then, and only then, might a deeper relationship develop. If it doesn't, you've simply made yourself another friend - a female one who you can call up whenever you have to decide between Asus and Abit It's a win win situation...don't read more into it than is necessary.

I am glad I decided to pursue my current girlfriend. She is absolutely wonderful. So please don't let opputunity pass you by. yes, I not much of the dating guy either.

Why not have the gang of off topic help you with a nice email for her?

Hey, now there's an idea... I've started a couple, but never sent them. I am at a total loss when it comes to something like that. I barely know her, what the hell am I supposed to say?

I really would like the oppurtunity to get to know you better. Is a good start.

 

[MemphisBleek]

i'ma do her by friday

 

Sure, the AT gang writes her, so she decides to check out the site and sees Viper talking about her "nice chest." DOH!

 

[HigherGround]

he can always edit that post...*hint*

 

[Viper GTS]

That was just to prove that she was a female.

Had to chime in my 2cents.
What are you doing wasting your time on here asking other people what you should do? Its obvious that by the descriptions you gave that this person is someone you find attactive. Before saying you will have a problem with deciding to date/see/become a significant other with this person why don't you start with something simple. How about Dinner, a Movie, a Cup of coffee. Whatever. You don't have to decide RIGHT NOW. Try spending more time with her outside of work because sometimes people are differnt out of the work enviroment.

Shouldn't be hard to say &quot;What are you doing this weekend, I have plans to go out to << Insert activity >> would you care to join me?&quot; You might get shot down but only after trying a few times will you know for sure whether you want to continue or not.

 

[Soybomb]

<< pseudo-significant other WANTS to date other people >>


Viper....go...get this one that you speak of. I've read how you feel about sarah before man, but if she wants to date other people...well lets just say I'm pessimistic... Give this woman a try, go up strike up a conversation one day when you &quot;accidentaly&quot; bump into her at the soda machine. Make small talk about work, and just ask if she'd like to join you for a sandwhich at lunch the nex tday. It seems hard, but its really easy once you try it! The email idea flat out sucks, just go up and ask her how her day is going at the soda machine/break room/whereever!

Don't email the girl, and if you come off as a little goofy, all the better. Most girls like that you know. Maybe you'll go out a few times and see it doesnt really work out and just have a friend. Maybe you'll go out a few more times than that, and find its working out great. Don't put all your eggs in one basket with a girl you've hardly had any time around physically. If you haven't even kissed sarah yet, don't be so sure you're going to marry her! (Yeah yeah it could be argued, but I have hindsight on a similar issue hehe).

Btw: First real experience with women @ 18, when I was dating a 21 y/o so dont worry about the age. Now go talk to her!!! (Don't email!)

Viper,

Use your head man This is what you do. You two site beside eachother right? And I assume you work days (i.e. you'll have the same lunch period or dinner period if you work evenings?). OK, now follow these easy steps:

Step 1) Pop your head over the cubicle wall and say &quot;Hi, umm I know this sounds stupid, but I'm really craving Greek/Chinese/Pizza/fill in you choice of food here, but I'm short a couple of bucks. I was wondering if you wanted to pitch in literally two bucks for some food and when it comes I'll give you half.

Now, she can either say 1) &quot;Sorry I brought lunch&quot; 2) &quot;I'm not really into Greek/Chinese/Pizza/etc or 3) some other variant of the word &quot;no&quot;, or...if she's really smart she could say 4) &quot;why don't you just use a credit card?&quot;

You can turn response number 1 and 2 around. For number 1, just say &quot;hmm...OK. You sure you really want to eat your bagged lunch? I heard the Greek/Chinese/Pizza place is really good...you can always eat it later.&quot; For number 2, just say &quot;well, we can always get something else...I'm just really starved&quot; and for number 3, just accept no and say &quot;alright, thanx anyways...by the way, my name is <insert your name here>&quot; and offer your hand for a nice handshake.

If she says number 4, take note of her quick thinking and say &quot;I would, but I left half the contents of my wallet at home...that explains my lack of money...just have whatever small bills and change was in my pocket.&quot;

Step 2) If she says yes, get her two bucks (you won't need it...bring small change like 5 dollar bills so that it really looks like you're short). Order up the food, and when it comes say &quot;You know what...why don't we go eat someplace else&quot;. Now find a good place to eat, and go with her to have some lunch. If you've gotten to this point, there's no way she'll eat someplace else.

Anyway, my point is, you don't even have to follow my suggestion, just come up with something creative like this. At worst, you've formally introduced and broken the ice so you can pop your head over the cubicle later. At best, you've met, you've had lunch and you can size up her personality and earn some brownie points. Have some fun man...flirting is so much fun and it doesn't have to even amount to anything and it'll still be fun.
