Viper, I agree that you should at least suggest lunch or something. It certainly can't hurt, and then at least you won't always wonder 'what if?'

I met my husband at work... it was a temporary job for me, and he was in charge of showing me how to use the computer system. We were friendly and went out a couple of times with a group, but I wondered what he would do after I left. It actually worked out quite well, because if we had stayed co-workers neither of us would have been confortable with dating.

Good Luck! ;)

she sounds very very very VERY Nooooooooooice

Trust me, she is. Every guy I know here agrees with me, so I'm definitely not the only one that likes her. She wears a simple silver band on her left ring finger, though, I'm not sure what's up with that. I've never heard her mention a boyfriend or fiancee, & she lives with her parents, so I know she's not married. I dunno.

get some people on here to help ya write an email to her? people with more experience maybe?

I don't know. I hate to do it by e-mail, 'cause that's the easy way out. But on the other hand I could NEVER bring myself to do it in person. So I'm screwed.

Oh for Christ's sake just DO IT. The worst she can say is no. It's not the end of your life just because a girl said no. Trust me on this one.

Viper just get up the balls and ask her out. What's the worst that will happen, she'll say no but she'll still be flattered you asked her out.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Don't go the rest of your life wondering what if?


Although maybe you shouldn't listen to me, I'm such a stunning success at relationships.

Just do it. (Be a Nike ad)

Don't go out of no where and ask her to have sex with you :). LOL! I suggest asking her to do something over the weekend like going out for a movie (not really close, dont get to talk much) and if you enjoyed her company as well if she enjoyed your company, than go out for dinner another night, possibly party ( if that's what you and her dig) or stay up all night with a bottle of wine talking about computers & cars. LOL! :) GL

I think the bottle of wine and chat is a great idea, but not for a date or two...

The question is, where should he ask her... I think my next place to go is the State Fair, but im *probably* not in the same age group :)

You've got to realize, I've yet to kiss a girl... When I say I have no experience, I'm not kidding. I have none. Wine is bad, I'm 18. If I blow ANYTHING on a breath test, I'm screwed. Good idea, but both of us are under age. Which is another problem, she's 20. How many 20 year olds really want to date an 18 year old?

Sephiroth...

State fair is already past, otherwise that might not have been such a bad idea.

Viper, she could care LESS about you being 18.

If you want her, you have to get CONFIDENT. Nothing makes women want you more than confidence.

The 25 year old chick I work with has always seemed to go out with a guy 2-3 years younger.

Screw Sarah man, who's that other chick on your site? Here

:D

There was this one girl I worked with who, given my picky tastes, finally was someone I would go out with. casually I asked "So, what're you doing this weekend" and she mentioned something with her fiance. DOH!!!

Viper,

Up to this point, I've had a very high opinion of you. Your love of cars, in particular the greatest sports car ever made, has made me like you a great deal. But, all that will change if you chicken out on this and don't do anything concerning this wonder woman. I'm dead serious. You have to do something about it! I can speak from experience: I was at a party one time, and I met a really great girl who was exceeding, painfully hot and best of all seemed to like me back. However, I hesitated as I was not sure what I wanted to do about/with her. I liked her lots, don't get me wrong. But, what happened was that since I waited, she assumed that I didn't like her or something. So she, being a very desirable person, easily found another guy who she is now going out with. That was maybe 2 months ago, so the pain is still fresh and I am still kicking myself for not asking her out in the first place when, as I found out later, she would've said yes!

Now, I can't speak for certain on whether or not this Goddess-on-Earth likes you or not, but I can (and will ;)) say this:

If you don't make some sort of advance on what could possibly be the best thing to fall into your life, I will personally hunt you down and castrate you with a dull spoon.

Don't take that the wrong way, but you must, without a doubt, do something about this woman. Not to mention that even if it doesn't work out, you always have Sarah to fall back on. I mean, she said herself she wants to date others. You should too!

Now, as for you not having experience: Don't worry about it. As someone else said, you just have to be confident in yourself, be yourself, and just go with the flow of things. If things go smoothly and you find yourself in a position where you "experience" might be handy, you should just confide in the girl that you don't have much experience. You'd be amazed how much women are taken with the fact they have a novice on their hands. She can teach you exactly what SHE likes and she'll love it. Not to mention the fact you opened up to her about something (she'll presume at least) you don't tell anybody, she'll feel closer to you and you'll have a special bond. Do it. It works. Trust me on this Viper.

Now, GO GET 'EM TIGER!

Actually....

He's got a point, Vipe. I was a young divorcee when I met my husband... I was never promiscuous, but experienced nonetheless.

My husband was a 22 year old virgin.......

I overlooked quite a few flaws for this! The fact that he wanted to wait until we were married was more than I could resist. A guy who didn't want to nail me as fast as possible! Wow!

:D :D :D :D

raptor13...

Chances are I'll disappoint you, then. In all honesty, the whole dating "scene" has never been me. I've never been one to "ask people out," I've only had one girlfriend in my entire life, & I've always liked it that way. I never WANTED to be a part of what I considered to be shallow, pointless pain. I've always assumed that I would develop friendships first, and then possibly move to something more. Which is exactly what happened with Sarah. Heck, she had a boyfriend when I first met her. We started talking (constantly) & I never had any intention of dating her, much less marrying her. To me, besides the obvious fear of rejection, asking someone out that I barely know is the ultimate in shallow gestures. Basically an "I like your T&A, can we go out so I can touch them?" Granted, that's not me either, but still... I'm not comfortable with it.

Isla...

Seems like a lot of women like that, but it's not exactly something you carry on your sleeve. Most will never know me well enough to see it, which is the thing that sucks.

Well Viper...

A lot of women don't need to see it. Just the right one. ;)

My respect for my husband, despite the hell we have been through, has always remained high.

Take a chance, my romantic friend! I'll keep you in my prayers. :)

edit: This could also be what brings you and Sarah closer... no?

Viper:

Seemed you have made up your mind already. Too bad for you. Attraction is a part of a relationship and that shouldn't be something to be ashamed about. If there is something beyond the attraction that's when you get to the good stuff.


Some of us have a lot of experience and know what we are talking about. There is no risk here at all.

Well Viper, I tried. You can't say I can't. Obviously, I can't make you do anything you don't want to, but I still urge to reconsider your choice, although it sounds like you've already made up your mind. But, if you decide for sure you aren't going to do anything about this woman, let me know where you live and work so I can. Someone deserves to have her, just maybe not you. ;)




Now, to find that dull spoon........

I'll say one thing viper. If you don't do anything you'll regret it. If you can live w/that its cool, but most people can't.

I haven't made my mind up yet. If I get the job I applied for, I'll have a couple weeks to decide what I'm doing. I've come awfully close to e-mailing her a few times already, but never quite did it. I really, really want to... But frankly I'm scsred sh!tless. Scared I'll make an idiot out of myself, or an asshole (not sure which is worse ;)). And scared that something WILL work out, & then I'd have to decide between her & Sarah... Damn, why do things have to be complicated?

I think you're reading a lifetime into something much simpler. Ask her out, have some fun! She would not have made the comments in your vicinity if she was cold to the idea.

I can think of many scenarios in my youth where I was a 'gentleman', when in fact she didn't want that at all. My mistake, I know now. Regret lasts a long time...
