Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

What, at her desk in front of everyone?

 

Unless you plan on using a megaphone to ask her out, that shouldn't be a problem...

 

Yes. Forces her to make a decision, and she won't want to shoot you down in front of everyone.




Unless she's a heartless shrew.

 

Good lord, stop overthinking it. Just ask her out.

 

How hard can it be?

 

I still that's a bad idea but you guys know best....

And where she works is quite small and quiet, megaphone or not, people would probably have an idea of what's going on.

 

If you'd rather wait for a quiet opportunity then do, but you don't need to put nearly as much thought into it as you are. If you want leave it a week or so, if you don't bump into her around the office then approach her yourself. Stop worrying so much, it'll probably be fine.

 

But is not just PompeyLapras's way. He prefers to overthink things...imagine all possibilities (even the most unlikely). They have something called a phone...phone her up...the worst that can happen is that she says no. One proviso...as you work for the same company, accept no as an answer...no stalking.

 

Wait, wait, wait, you didn't really say anything about how friendly you and her are. Do you chat on those occasions when you bump into each other? Are you even on a first name basis? If the answer to either of those questions is no then I'd suggest perhaps ticking those boxes before going straight for the asking out part.

 

Then at the very least, get her number or something and just text her. Makes sense if yous both work at different branches most of the week.

 

Good point, I'd just assumed they were friendly.

 

Photo on OS of 16-yr-old intake to the Academy. One of them is called Armani Little (some people just shouldn't be allowed to have kids). Also someone should have advised the tall lad with red hair that a royal blue suit is a bad idea...especially when everyone else is dressed conservatively.

 

Oh yeah, we chat and we're on first name terms and we seem to get on well when we're chatting and can talk about anything and everything. In fact, last week I had a great opportunity to ask her, but as it was the first time we'd spoken since I got a proper job there, it would have been a bit wierd I feel.

**** it, if I don't get the opportunity to ask her in person, I'll find out her number somehow (not sure how) and text her or just IM her.

 

Oh god don't "find out her number", that sounds stalkey. Just ask!

 

Heh, I 'found out' the number of my ex. My housemate gave it to me which was nice of her and if my ex thought it was stalkery, she didn't say anything.

So IM it is now. Should probably think of an excuse to message her though.

 

Is she available? Next time your there make sure you have a coffee break at the same time and drop in conversation where are the best places to go and have a drink ask her along ,and if the vibe feels right ask her to see you again for a drink or maybe a bite to eat.....

 

If it's your Jobs IM service I wouldn't use that either. Remember how hard you worked for this job you don't want to lose it (or be in your bosses bad books) for inappropriate use of the IM service.

 

Technically it's a Microsoft software, so it's not bespoke or anything, if that makes a difference.

She was last time I heard, and she hasn't mentioned a bf at all and generally speaking, it would come up in convo if she had one.

 

If you're really that shy just add her on facebook and ask her via there. You'd find out if she had a boyfriend without even talking to her. Or if you don't want to ask her out via facebook you could certainly become more friendly with her until you're pretty sure she'd say yes when you ask her in real life.

 

Tell her she has a nice arse. Chicks dig that.
