Just in case, it would be a good idea fo9r both of you to meet at a restaurant with a few friends to help break the ice in conversation from a multitude of sources, maybe coffee and dissert rather than a whole meal to at lease get to meet each other. By meeting at the restaurant with each of you having your own transportation, either one of you can leave if you really feel uncomfortable, or the food is not to your liking. make it a point to read and remember the articles in Time or Newsweek and your local paper so that you will have severl directions to go with the conversation. Remember to read some articles you don't normally peruse, and make it a point to go over the topics mentally before leaving for your date.

Normal hygiene as suggested.

At the first date, take the opportunity to find out what her fave entertainment is, what movies she likes, her favorite foods are, what she enjoys reading, if she likes concerts, and what her favorite type of music and/or her favorite band(s) are: this will give you some hints on where and what she likes to do for entertainment/dates. It may turn out that she likes to go to wine tastings, or your local theater for pays or broadway shows.

Try not to spend too much time bragging (heh, a male characteristic???) but then again don't make her feel like you are performing an interrogation, either. Give HER every chance to brag about her job, family, brothers and sisters, parents, her dog, misc pets, where she went to HS and her home town, etc. If nothing else, ask her about where she worked before she came to the company you both work in now...


This may sound stupid, but look at some books on dating in Barnes & Noble, etc, you might be surprised. If you're shy dating (and there's nothing wrong with this), treating dating the same way you would your job or an investment and doing some research can only help.

BTW, THIS would be a great conversational topic!

Yo Cy,

The best thing is to get the gals to speak about themselves and their own interests. What is most important is to be a good listener, and if you aren't a good listener you have to fake it, but that only works for so long so you have to learn to be a good listener, lol.

If they find you interesting there is nothing you can do to keep them away, "all the good ones are taken" etc. Maybe pheremones, who knows?

I told the young lady that would become my wife that I was going to go pick some crab apples to make jelly. She asked if she could go along. We went picking crab apples and made jelly; twenty years later she's still the most civilizing influence in my life, go figure.

Then don't.

Look you're nervous and it's going to show. Could make you both really uncomfortable and put you both off.

You both work at the same place, you're not in a hurry, so slow down.

Start saying hi and having a few short conversations at the water fountain. Work your way up as you get to know each other a little better.

One day, when it feels right, throw in lunch.


If not, and no buzzers go off, recognize that and stay friendly and leave it at that.

Invite her over to scrape coralline off your 300.
