Finnster: hardest thing in the world is approaching you REALLY like, compared to someone that's just 'OK'... head back into the shop, and just be blunt. Just make sure you do it with a smile and not all serial killer blunt.

'Hi, I'm (insert name) and I know this is out of the blue, and I've never done anything like this before, but would you like to come for a cup of coffee with me?' continue to smile :)

Even if she says no, I guarantee that you (he) will feel good about it anyway. Tough thing to do, but he who dares and all that.


There is this small percentage of me that would love nothing more than to do that, seriously and I know full well that no matter what the outcome that'd itd be an experience if nothing else, but, unfortuantely thats being over ridden by that b&*tard little voice in my head, telling me not to do it, the ol' 'ego protecter'! frustrated

Welcome back by the way! handshake cheers

thanks, man.

Well, no doubt, it's a tough thing to do. Just mentally prepare yourself before you go into the shop. Give yourself a day or two if neccessary. Just keep telling yourself that you will do it. Then, face the fear, dude!! If you don't stop listening to that little voice soon, it will just get louder and you never will. Trust me... I been there.

stanley8m: A word of caution GS. My advice is for you to remain on friendly terms ,sales staff in a shop are expected to smile and chat to customers, it's part of her job.
Carlow is a small enough town and everyone knows someone who knows someone else. Surely you have a sister, cousin, friend who knows someone who knows this girl and can suss out the situation.


Thats sound advice there, yeah! thumbs up


I was so frikkin' annoyed at my lack of competence today that I got into the car and just started driving, I ended up in Kildare somewhere! uh oh laugh

Green_Sleeves: Seen her today, couldnt say a thing, nothing, just a friendly 'hi' and 'goodbye', granted she was in full conversation with a member of staff and I wasnt served by her........DAMMIT!!!

This is never gonna work.I did get a new pair of slacks though, only €18!



what happened to having the positive mental attitude i was telling you about last night GS ? grin

I know what you mean tho ,, especially if she was talking with a colleague and you didn't feel the timing was right today ,,,

Don't be cross at yourself ,,and hey don't loose heart , another oportunity for you to talk to her may present itself soon enough thumbs up

It seems daunting, but these things can be done in a lighthearted way, next time you buy something make sure its the wrong size that you can bring it back, and that way,when you bring it back you might get chatting to her. and say i lost my number can i have yourslaugh ok maybe dont say that lol, im sure you know what to say to her , go and ask her its bugging you so muchthumbs up

Serenity4two: well ,, still proud of ya for at least going in to the shop again today --good on ya !!!

and yes , i'd go with option b too ! but i'd do it sooner rather than later GS ! you need to know wether anything is gonna happen between you two --rather than letting it drag on --you're gonna drive yourself mental LOL-- and you will probably drive even further than Kildare after you come out of the shop the next time and end up in Kerry somewhere lol


I'm just thinking though, what if I go in there again and she's with her work mate, do I pull her aside, like 'sorry, can I have 5 mins', or somehow get her mate involved in it?? haha, like make it a bit light hearted confused

yes GS , you need to speak to her on her own , take her to the side , and just ask her would she like to meet up with you sometime for a coffee--if she says yes . give her your number --if she declines ( silly girl if she does !) --then you never have to go into the shop again and at least you can put this girl out of your head and move on to the next ! do it asap !!! lol you need to know one way or another :-) whatever happens ,,

god ,, friday's along way away lol that's giving you too much time to think of all those doubts and fears you have about approaching her pet .

ok ,, right ,, lets turn this around and look at this a different way ,,,

i was just thinking a few moments ago , that perhaps if you think of it like this ,,,
If this girl is as special as you think she is ,, then you know what , you are wasting alot of time GS lol
time that you could be enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other properly ,, not over a pair of jeans / slacks / or jumper lol
If all goes well , when you talk to her ,, you know what ,,, you're gonna kick yourself for wasting all this time lol

if it has to wait til friday ,, so be it ,, but do it sooner my friend if you can !! i wish you all the luck in the world ! ;-)

Serenity thumbs up hug

just go in..say Hi, look, we dont know each other but i think you look great..fancy coming for a few drinks one evening..Im (whatever ya name is)

Dont ask her out lad scold

I mean if you do she might say yes then what dunno

jesus youd have to sit accross from her and listen to her waffle on
about periods and tampons and what not conversing

your better off on here with us and if you want to take
a break from us we wont mind we know you have a special
relationship with Pam and her sisters .

And thats another thing would you really want to cheat on Pam dunno

Didnt think so blues





On a serious note

Your confusing yourself by over analyzing everything
and dreaming up scenarios in your head

thats like sniffing glue

you seem way too emotionally involved in her and you dont even know her yet , so when you want to talk to her you have a bunch of mixed emotions like confusion , anxiety and fear all mixed up in a nice little package.

I heard something once that kinda sums it up



"imagine theres a seed inside of her ,
thats the seed of her liking you .

and imagine a seed inside of you,
thats the seed of you liking her .

then imagine a pool of water between you !
the pool of water is to water the seeds !

your taking all the water for the seed of you liking her !
And your leaving nothing there for her seed of liking you

Stop it !
"



Something like that , Im paraphrasing here conversing

Calm your mind down man its in overdrive
just relax
If you go into the store with a head full of crap
and mixed emotions she"ll pick up on that

If you go in relaxed and easy going she"ll pick up on that
and its a much better place to be coming from professor

Thats my dating advice for 2012 laugh

check back this time next year for more of the same folks rolling on the floor laughing
