So this girl at work has been showing interest in me, right? Imagine Nicole Kidman, Avril Lavigne and Amy Lee (from Evanescence) combined into one beautiful girl. Thats this girl. My NT friend has been telling me that it couldn't be anymore obvious. With the way that she's always looking at me, or how she said "hey" when I walked by when most everyone else would ignore me. What this girl finds attractive in me is beyond me. I once read that woman are sometimes attracted to the "silent stranger" type so I guess that would be me. I'm not like some ugly dude or anything, but I'm not exactly ripped like Gerard Butler in 300, either.

The rational part of my brain is saying "Look, you're happy with the way things are. You just got out of a really bad relationship and need to take it slow. Enjoy the solitary life like you used to and be HAPPY". But then the primitive cave man speaks and says "MMM!! GIRL!! ! MUST GET GIRL!!". So yeah...I'm having a lot of conflicting thoughts. I'm dying to talk to her but then I'm also hoping I'll never see her again. Does that make sense? lol...

My primitive mind is leading me to talk to this girl the next time I see her...probably tomarrow. God I hope she's not working...bleh. I would ask for advice on what to do but I suppose we're all in the same sinking boat when it comes to reading woman. If any LADIES have any advice that'd be a big help. But I think I'll just go ahead and make an ass of myself and probably end up saying something like "yeah, so do you know where the bathroom is? Hey, Five Finger Death Punch is making a new album....see ya!"

dude you can totally ask her where the bathroom is as long as you say "good. meet me there in 5 minutes" :afro:

haha seriously don't worry about making an ass of yourself. Just tell her you wanna hang out with her after work and need to know how she's going to facilitate this. If she says no, big whoop, nothing has changed. and while I was joking about the bathroom thing, if you do say that, there's a 50/50 chance she'll actually meet you there.

You're gonna get the bloke killed Alex! ;)

See if anyone else there knows her OP. Find out what kind of stuff she might be into. Like, if she comes in on an off day wearing a FFDP t-shirt or something, then yea, she probably likes them. Once you start a conversation, it's simple. No asking for bathrooms though. You work there, it'll be overly obvious. Or ask for help with a project. That might get her attention, and get you to spend some time alone together.

Husband says I must go. Road trip!

Alex... don't take offence, I was trying to be funny.

Agreed! Also, people like to be asked stuff about themselves: if you don't, she'll think it's because you're not interested, not because you already know her shoe size/favourite band/first pet's name already... :P

Thanks for the advice guys, but I think I talked myself out of it *shrugs*

Besides, how many great songs do YOU know of that are happy? The best material comes from negative emotions. Last time I got all happy about a girl my musical creativity took a big wet dump on me :(

But yeah....haven't seen her in like 3 days so I'm sure with my luck she'll be there tomarrow and HERE we GO aGAIN.

You don't know me wrote:
You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Hello."
But I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so,
Most anyone can tell,
You think you know me well,
But you don't know me.

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
Who longs to kiss your lips,
Who longs to hold you tight,
You, to me you're just a friend,
That's all I've ever been,
'Cause you don't know me.

For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.

You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watch you walk away,
Beside that lucky guy.
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so,
'Cause you don't know me.


^ Don't be like this person, ask her out - Carpe Diem! :D
You'll kick yourself if someone else gets there first... :evil:
