I am chicken, hear me cluck...


Some help here... I am not afraid of much. people, situations, monsters, death, public speaking, dangerous animals... no big deal.

there are only 2 things in this world i am terrified of:

1. the pink section in any store (this refers to the pink section in clothing or toys, my neices get gift cards)

2. avalible females in my age group

My coworker is trying to set me up with another coworker (who i hear is interested in me) and the second she mentioned it my face went pale and i broke out in a cold sweat (figuretivley {sp} speaking of course).

the biggest problem is i can never think of what to do for dates. I could muster an army into battle managing contigencies, supplies, etc... but i can't figure out how to keep a single girl entertained for a few hours.

suggestions would be great, just keep in mind i don't go to clubs, drink, or do anything too wild (i'm a good boy).

Well...I always say a movie is a good first date...not required to talk too much. Then if that goes good, you can go for coffee or dessert...again not too much face time required...

Keep it simple at first then progress to more face to face type of meetings.

What do you think?

Ask the coworker who is trying to set you up what the other coworkers favorite food is, and then make a reservation at a restaurant that does that.

Or, if there is someplace around you that does large christmas lights displays, take her to that.

Or take her sledding than go out for hot chocolate?

I Was Like You But Soon Discovered That There Is A Sort Of Science To Women! Number 1 Relax. Number 2 Be Yourself. Don't Try To Impress Her Just Act How You Normally Do, Thats What Has Her Interested To Begin With Right? Women Appreciate Honesty As Well As The Little Things You Do. Be Relaxed Though Because They Can Sense When Someone Is Uneasy. Your Attitude Can Change How She Feels..for Example If I Walked Up All Shy Trying To Introduce Myslef She Might Not Give Me The Number. But If I Confidently Walk Up And Converse With Her She Will See My Confidence And Might Give Me The Number If Interested. You're Worying About Something Not So Big. Think Of It In A Different Way. Think Of It In Some Way That Helps You Be Relaxed. I Agree With The Guy Above Me, Movies Are A Good First Date. Just Spend Some Time With Her And Slowly Progress. She'll Ant To Get To Know You So Let Her Get To Know You. Anyways Though Just Let Us Know What You Think.

my husband says you can't win... if it works you'll be the talk of the workplace, and if it doesn't work out... oh boy watch out at work. So, good luck!
Seriously, I hope you find happiness for the holidays!

From a womans point of view I say dinner and a movie you BOTH will enjoy. Dont pick a chick flick for her benefit and try and suggest good action movies but nothing gory till you find out if she is into that (if you are too.) If everything has gone well up till this point a coffee shop would probably be nice or ice skating if you have a rink around then hot chocolate to warm ya up.

I Agree With That Too But I Could Truly Care Less What People Say Anyways So I Wouldnt Care. I Learned To Separate My Love Life And My Work. For Many Though Im Afraid To Say She Is Right. However If I Was You And Could Handle It I Would Go For It.

I think a heavy make out session is always a good way to get things started.

I Just Barley Realized I Was Doing That! Lol! My Computed Automatically Does This! I Dont Know Why But It Does. Anyways Though Back To The Matter At Hand. I Like All The Date Suggestions And Agree With Them But A Makeout Session For Two People Who Ahvent Really Gotten To Know Each Other? Thats Kind Of Fast For Someone Who Is Kind Of Shy. But Take Your Time. Just Dont Take So Long That She Loses Interest. Timing Is Everything My Friend. Just Like Acclimating Fish. Well You Know What I Mean. Anyways When The Time Comes Don't Be Afraid Or Nervous Just Do What You Do. Be Yourself And Kiss Her If Its The Right Moment(trust Me You'll Know).

I want to add that it is usually not a good idea to fish off the company peir if you value your job.

I sugest you just go out to get to know her, sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves thinking that is a date when you hardly know each other, just ask her to go out to get to know her personality, she probably already know you like her. I would ask what she likes to do and take her to do that.
I does not have to be complicated, just have fun.

well fun to me is climbing in my 300 and scraping corraline... so i better see what she thinks is fun

i have explored the problem with us working in the same place... normally there would be a conflict of interest especially in a bank, but my new position totally removes that problem as i will no longer be involved in anything she does.

trust me, that came into consideration.
