So there's this girl.... v.FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
« on: July 14, 2015, 09:39:14 PM »
So there's this girl at work that is obviously head over heels for me. All my co-workers have commented on how she's always flirting with me, the girls on the sales floor are constantly asking "what's the 411?" and my friends keep asking "So when you gonna start dating her?"

Sigh

I've been telling myself for the past few years I have neither the time nor the money for a relationship. Money's not as much an issue now, but time... Well, I don't know. I might just be using that as an argument so I don't have to put any effort into another relationship. I keep telling myself I enjoy being single, but I don't know. She's a Supernatural fan, a gamer, a movie fan, likes pretty much everything I do. We get along pretty damn well. Fuck. FUUUUCK.

I don't know what Supernatural is, but it sounds like you find plenty to like about the girl. Quit looking for excuses. Unless you're just so enamored of your current career path and/or getting so much amazing tail on the side, you have no need of them.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

Because apparently in the past few years my balls have shriveled up. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Shitty part is, I want a relationship, but I hate dating. Or... like the preliminary first few dates, anyway.

I thought about asking her to join some friends when we go see Ant-Man. She knows a couple of them, so I don't think she'd feel awkward.

Well I'm already going with a group of friends. I just figured I might extend the invite to her as well. She is a Marvel fan, after all.

If she already really likes you, you probably don't have to worry about the first few dates. Those are tricky only if you have to try very hard to get the girl to like you, but apparently you've skipped that part. Sorry if that sounded a bit harsh, but there you go, a honest comment. Go for it, it shouldn't be stressful.

Be upfront and let her know you have time constraints but you are interested in seeing her.  Sounds like you are already interested, just worried which is fine and normal.  Don't hold yourself back though and honestly you might find that you'd rather spend that time with her than whatever else you are doing.

What's the Info.  Dialing 411 in USA is asking to talk to an operator for information.  So give us the info?

Well I'm already going with a group of friends. I just figured I might extend the invite to her as well. She is a Marvel fan, after all.

Then be ready, willing and able to accept one of your friends mowing your lawn.

Not sure why the drama; ask her to get a drink after work.   Pick a game, a TV show or something and when you get there make it the start of a conversation.  "Hey, did you watch that last episode of Sons of Anarchy?  What's with the crow?" or something.   If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.  If she's really as into you as you say (and I have no reason to doubt you) she'll overlook any nervousness or cobwebs. 

Hell, the first date with my fiancé, I was waiting for her and she had changed her hair color without me knowing so was like 90 times hotter than I thought, so I was taken off my game bad.   I was as nervous as I have ever been on a date.   We sat down at the restaurant and I went with something dumb about Vince Neil or something, and we ended up sitting at the table for FOUR HOURS without even so much as ordering a drink.  (I tipped the waitress $20 anyway, and as we were walking out, the owner came running out to ask what was wrong; I had recovered my wits enough to say "nothing wrong at all; first date with a beautiful woman and ordering food was the last thing on my mind".  We've been together ever since, almost two years). 

Just be yourself.   Don't deny your nerves or pretend they don't exist, but don't be slave to them either.   Go with your strengths:  yourself.

It sounds like you have a few reservations.  That's not unusual.  Just make it clear to her from the outset that this relationship will be on your terms.  You will see each other when it is convenient for you.  You will do things that you want to do, for as long as you want to.  She chased you down, remember?  Tell her that this is how it will be.  If she's not up for that, fine.  You weren't looking for a relationship in the first place.


Wait... is she hot?  If so, forget everything I said.  Just go for it.  She sounds great.

Just go for it. There was this girl once who really liked me but I was too much of a chickenshit to ask her out. Eventually we started dating ad now we've been together for six and a half years. You never know what can happen but nothing good will come if you don't take a chance. Since she already likes you it's not like you have to worry about if she's into you or not. So ask her out. It could end up working out really well for the both of you.

For what it's worth, anytime I was ever nervous on a date, I admitted to it.  I would say something like "I'll warn you now, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and I'll be tripping over my words and my own two feet all night.".  That usually broke the ice, got a good laugh from her, and gave me an automatic excuse for any flubs during the night.

When my wife and I went on our first date, we were making-out in the car and I accidentally  :biggrin: touched her breast; we stopped kissing and I said "oopps... sorry.".  She proceeded to put my hand back where it was and told me to find a quieter place for us to talk about what just happened.  I've been a blessed man ever since!

The point is, go with it man!  You never know what's going to happen!
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."  Ecclesiastes 12:13

Now with Twitler taking a high end steak of this caliber and insulting the cow that died for it by having it well done just shows zero respect for the product, which falls right in line with the amount of respect he shows for pretty much everything else.- Lonestar

 :lol I like that suggestion.  I haven't had the nervousness issue on first dates, but maybe I just haven't met the girl to make me nervous yet... when I do, I will use that line.
