    if a girl really likes you enough on first impression, she will likely give you her number so you can ring her, even if a girl really likes you, giving her your number will do a fat lot of use, cause soo many girls these days think its the guys responsibility to chase up the lady

    well I arrive sooner then she does and I lieave before she does, so thats bust. But I was already thinking about the meeting in the kitchen thing. I was gonna do it yesterday but bottled it. I don't drink coffee or tea so it would have to be water, though I bring my own drink to owrk so could be obvious!!

    She does look at me when she walks or I walk, though I ain't t getting the smile too much.

    If I thought I had a chance I'd be in there. Just the uncertainity. I'll speak to her eventully, probably mees it up mind but you know.

    ugh I am so pathetic. I can't work up the nerve to even say hi to her and try and talk to her. Bugger!!!

    So you don't drink tea or coffee.... well go and make one anyway. You can always let it go cold and throw it away later. Go to the kitchen when she goes, but don't necessarily say or do anything the first time. For all you know she will say something to you. Sometimes in the office these things have to be done very slowly.

    You may take your own drinks in, but she won't know that, and no-one else will pay any attention to it anyway.

    Go to the kitchen and talk to one or two other members of her department. Never does any harm, and is another way in.

    Remember, it is not a race. Everything doesn't have to be done today, but at the same time you shouldn't just keep on putting things off. The good thing is that she is going to be there every day, so you have one less thing to worry about.

    but you dont want to make it obvious?

    if you are going to intend to make it subtle, then theres no point cause she might never even notice you

    The point is that you just start putting yourself in the right place at the right time. Most people are so involved in their own lives that they won't notice what is happening. Being in situations where there is some form of interaction, even if it is just a smile initially at least opens the door.

    If you just go for it in a modern office you can actually be done for sexual harrasment, so you are better to be careful and develop things.

    I go to the kitchen at work and put the milk in before I add the water for my tea. Nine times out of ten there is someone else there, and I end up asking them if they want the milk. So many conversations have started with something as simple as that. It is all about creating openings...

    Squired, is right there are so many little things you could do, such as asking if they would like the milk/sugar orask if you could pass them a spoon, if you are next to the draw.

    Ok thought i'd join in on this one. yeah you have to be really carefull with seeing someone or trying to ask someone out at work these days due to sexual harrasment. If your going to be sutle about it it might never happen. i'm agreeing to what the other are saying about talking to her in the kitchen area if you feel you cant do it within the working area.

    Ok saying all that anyone got some advise for me on my work situation? The office i work at is very open about everything, we'd have to be very carefull if anyone new started. We're always talking about sex and other things, and borrowing each others porn (the girls are the worst for the sex talk and porn). a few months back my wife walked out, and i've made a few fuck buddies. One of the girls at work (girl? shes 36) has since been asking to borrow my porn and give me details on what i've been doing. shes now dumped her bf "he's boring, all he want to do is play chess or talk". She's now saying that she want to have a bit of fun like me and have no strings sex. She quite sexy looking and i'd love to help her out with that, only problem is not sure if she's just flirting or wants more and shes also one of the 3 managers in the office (only 14 ppl in our office). what do you think?

    I spoke to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    yesterday!! My team went out fr the Xmas lunch and drinks. I went with them and had a few to drink. I wasn't pissed but was a bit merry and a lot more confident by the time I headed back up to the office to get my stuff. Now she had been in a little office all day doing some important work, she was stil there when I came back, she had been there all day. So I found a tin of chocloates that our team had, knocked ont he door, went in , introduced myself and offered her some chocolate. We had a bit of a convo and we shook hands, she was really nice. She said she'd introduce me to her team and I said I would buy her a drink at the next office next week.

    Things is, she also said "I'm sweet". Now I know here that can mean nice but young and stuff, like not serious so I don't know.

    But I talked to her at least.

    I also intorduced myself to another member in her team. I thought later by doing that it makes it less obvious I am just intereested in her, coz women don't like it whne you are really obvious you fancy them???

    Well done you!!!! Good use of the chocolates and introducing yourself to another member of her team. As you said the the fact she told you that you where sweet could have one of two means and untill you talk to her some more etc... its hard to tell which one she meant. But once again well done you!!!

    Just stay calm and just try little things like going to the kitchen when she is there, keep it simple, don't forget to talk to the other member of her team that you introduced yourself to as well, that way it should just make you seem like a friendly person.

    Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    thats a good idea. I missed one trip to the kitchen she made already :( Have to wait till next time I guess now.

    Just kinda nerve racking though *embrassed*. I will try.

    Well done! By the sound of it you are already on the road to success. That was a very good move with the biscuits.

    You also did well by talking to another member of her team. Just build it up nice and slowly now, and see how things develop.

    they came back, albe it breifly. But I put a chocolate sweet on her desk along with a choclate sweet on all her teams desk. She came over and introduced me to them all , had a little laugh and it was good, she seemd busy tho, didn't talk that long and now she has gone out again.

    Its hard to take my eyes off her today though she is looking soooo gorgeous.

    Very nicely done.

    You have now made sure that you come across as a really decent guy, and any women in that department are probably going on about you now (and probably in your department too)! By the sound of things you don't need any help now, as you are (hopefully) already on the path to success.

    Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    yup. I hope so. As long as they don't see me as some sweet little boy type image. I'd rather be a decent man.

    Just gotta hope the next time a convo comes round I' won't come across as a babbling idiot.

    talked to her a bit more today, mostly smiles an dstuff but managed to get over to her when she was working alone, offered choclate but she was eating healthy.

    She mentione dher little boy and how her and the woman in my team went to college then lived togther and now work in same office and how they both have kids and all grown up they are.

    she is busy alot though, could tell when she was directing me to leave in a subtle way.

    so no idea what she thinks of me.

    Just be careful not do overdo it. Remember, it is not a race. If you start trying too hard it will be very obvious, and you risk scaring her off. An office is a very closed environment so you have to always watch your step.

    yeah its like a bloody miltary manouvere. She is quite a looker though, I can't imagine her being single for long thouhg, thats if she is single now. I mean its office party drinks thing on monday, i was goona talk to he rmore then and see how it went, but if I take my time, then its past xmas before I can do anything and thats alot of time to get with some1.

    Arrghh I'm just not good at this!

    Nah Military Manouvers would be easier compared to attracting the oppisite sex (or same sex if thats what you like)
