    I get the feeling that you view spending an evening with a woman the same as an interview for a job you desperately want but think you're woefully under-qualified to do.

    Seriously, the most important thing is to not freak out. Be friendly and outgoing but dont panic or try to force conversation. My honest suggestion is to ask questions about her...like her job, hobbies etc. Everyone can prattle on about themselves but asking for her opinion and thoughts is far more likely to engage her and result in arranging to have drinks or whatever after.

    Well if you supported Pompey, wouldn't you be dreading a girl asking? :)

    One of my colleagues has just ****ed off home over 2 hours early (our boss is on holiday). She often ****s off early when the boss is here anyway (her excuse is to get the bus). I get the ****ing bus and don't leave early! Lazy bitch.

    Whatever happened to staying at work until it was the right time to leave..?

    My ex used to tell me about a woman who worked in Southampton City Council, who was dubbed Wendy Wet-Rag by everyone because she was always having time time off for colds and not feeling 100%.
    It seemed like every other day I'd hear comments about this woman, so I suggested that my wife did a count up over the next few months. Then I forgot all about it. But she did, and out of something like a 100 days, this woman wasn't there for over 40 of them. This was no greater percentage than usual. Of course, working in SCC back then, her chances of being advised that her attendance rate was not satisfactory was practically zero. When my wife left SCC she was still there, taking time off left, right and centre. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with the woman. I bet she's still there, or not, depending on the day.

    Yes, that's a good point actually. Whenever I'm on the forum I'm not paying myself. Got that bit wrong..! :)

    Everton rewarding all fans that travelled to Krasnodar in the Europa league with a free Lille away ticket. Decent gesture!

    When you consider where that is, they definitely deserve one

    If you're genuinely interested in just getting to know her better, it'll come across. If you're trying to exchange bodily fluids with her it'll come across. Everything you think displays itself outside with body language and the words you say.

    So, just be interested.

    And remember that worrying about what other people will think of you is just ego showing, so just talk to her like you would to any human being. No moves, no lines, just talk.
