"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Well, I've definitely got something for an older woman at work.

The way she looks at me makes me smile and feel drawn towards her, but when she's not looking at me I don't find her anywhere near as attractive! :confused:


Every day I tell myself, Im gonna just ask straight out for her number and ask her to join me for a coffee/drink, but I get discouraged in the presence of co workers.

Its just a temp job and the office there is very relaxed.

Thing is the office workers pretty much always make dirty jokes to each other, and I find that a bit of a turn off, but I can tell, when Im around, the woman tries to rise above it and pass the jokes off.
I'm pissed that I've left it till now to post here, I've been meaning to ask her out for a week now...


So I need to catch her when nobody else is around, or maybe use the PC to write rather than speak?! Sounds sad but what can I do?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Don't talk to women you work with. It could turn into a cluster eff and you could lose your job.

That was quick! Yeah, sounds like a plan selfmademob and Skel.
Im out on site most of the day so finding time to talk when back at base is at a premium.


Work + attraction, thats what bugs me Maximus Rex, I read on here about how dating a coworker is a no go, but its not something I've done before, and well its only a temp job... but I do keep trying to find reasons to not ask her out!

What's a cluster eff?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Cluster F*ck. A really bad sitution. If it's that important to ask her out, if another job.
