I'm madly infatuated...

[Johnny Fontane]

...with this girl at work. I think we have some kind of energy going on. It's kind of corny, but when we talk it seems like we both get the giggles, in a dorky kind of way.

My only concern is that she is so polite. Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad she's polite as opposed to rude, but it makes me self conscious. Specifically, it makes me feel old (I'm almost 38 ; she's probably 22 or 23).

I'm afraid she might call me sir.

First off, don't pull a Staples. Card her first. Not that *cough* she'd lie about her age, because *cough* no women ever would do that...

[Arienette]

i wouldn't worry too much about the age thing.. i know so many people these days who are with people a bunch older than them. actually, i know a couple who are living together - she's 20, he's 35. and they're happy. it's really not a big deal as long as you feel comfortable with it. i'd be more concerned about the fact that you work together. that's something you might want to think about before doing anything. but if you think you feel something, and you're not worried about the co-worker situation, i say definitely go for it.

Yeah, that's something I thought about. But I'm just sick and tired of going through life super cautious. It's just the polite thing that spooks me. She says stuff like "have a nice day", which is strange unless you're either (a.) talking on the phone, or (b.) running into someone that you definitely won't see for the rest of the day.

I don't know if she's shy, nervous, or just a little awkward. Any of those things are fine with me.

In any event, I think I'm really infatuated with this girl. I was even thinking about saying something like "so, can you tell that I'm madly infatuated with you?" but I know that would embarrass her, and I don't want to do that.

I guess I'll just go with the flow. Maybe I'll just casually ask her if she has a boyfriend. Just asking is self-explanatory, correct? But it has to be nonchalant, not all intense like "do you have a boyfriend, because if you don't, I can be your boyfriend." That's too intense.

OK, this is pitiful, but here is a transcript of an e-mail exchange between myself and my love interest:

Johnny: K, in case you don't already know, Dave Matthews is going to be on Saturday Night Live this Saturday. Maybe I'll watch to see what all the fuss is about.

K: No, I did not know that. Thank you sooo much, I will be sure to try to watch it or tape it! Thank you! Please, let me know what you think of them?

Johnny: Well, I'm definitely going to watch. In fact, I already broke my date with Nicole Kidman.

K: Well now you definitely are obliged to do so. I am always especially curious as to what others think of Dave and the Band? So, please let me know your feedback. Thanks again! :~)

Very truly yours,

K

She actually typed in the very truly yours. She's so cute, but I need to get a grip on myself (no pun intended). I can't start getting all distracted by this girl. Ari is right - it might not be such a good idea to get involved with a girl at work. I'll flirt with her, and if we bond, who knows, maybe we can hang out. But I'm not going to start asking her out, not yet. Who knows, maybe she has a serious boyfriend. In any event, I don't want to get a reputation as the dopey horndog of the office.

[sr71blackbird]

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

The age difference is no big deal but you do work with this person. If you're not sure if she's already in a relationship you should find out before you take the plunge and ask her out. It would be so uncomfortable for you if she did the "I just thought we were connecting as friends" thing.

[Reephdweller]

Since the two of you work in the same office, you need to be careful in this day and age, first try the innocent route for feelers. Ask her if she'd be interested in hanging out after work at the local bar. That you had a rough day or whatever and wanted to get a few drinks to unwind. Start down the friendly route and then see where it progresses at the bar. The best bet would be to go to a place like a Fridays or an Outback where you can sit at the bar and the progress it to a table for an dinner and get to know her more and see if she feels the same way as you.

Her e-mail replies sound more stand-offish than anything else. Maybe I'm just not getting the context. Besides, I'd put the ixnay on any girl who likes Dave Matthews... barf.

And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, that it's not all dollars and cents. She was beautiful, she was young, she was innocent, she was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world! ... She threw it all away, just to make me look ridiculous! And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous! Now you get the hell out of here!

You're right, there is a distant quality there, I hate to admit it, but it's true. So for example when I made my witty little remark about breaking a date with Nicole Kidman, I was fishing for electronic banter. But all I got was "please let me know your feedback." Definitely standoffish. I recognize that she'd probably be more interested in some skinny shaggy-ass back pack carrying hacky sack playing kind of guy. That's just not me.

My life revolves around the concept of embarrassment avoidance. I think I'm just going to forget about this girl.

Yeah, but what about us? I think the board collectively should be able to ask her out. I think we'd be good for her.

No guy on this board has a shot at a real live girl.

You can't do a GIS to impress her, so that eliminates most of us.

Jesus Christ...as wierd as it sounds, I would like someone to be "infatuated" with me....but not in a crazy way...or maybe thats the only way ......hhhhmmmmm. On second thought....

I stopped by this girl's desk on Monday to chat about this Dave Matthews band. It turns out she didn't watch it. I did (and he sucked), but I said yeah, yeah, he's OK, blah blah blah. Again I was getting that polite vibe. I felt a need to escape, so I went into that "busy" mode & basically bolted, and she seemed a little stunned and called out "thank you!" as I walked out the door.

Today I was a little jealous because there's this new guy in the office who's totally gay, and when she talks to him I can hear that she's so relaxed (unlike with me).

The infatuation has basically worn off, but who knows...

yeah, really seems you're over her..other than that jealous thing and the need to escape and bolt.

Is she subordinate to you? Maybe she's nervous because she doesn't want to have a boss not like her. If she's not subordinate to you, maybe she does feel awkward around you.

Think about other conversations- has she complimented you? Does she lean towards you or away from you when she talks to you?

Read the body language. That'll help you get a handle on things.

Get a hold of yourself man. If you want to date her, just ask her. If she says no, at least you know and can move on. If she says yes, hopefully you know what to do.

Those schoolgirl days, of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try,

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters,
That would soar a thousand feet high,
To Sir, with Love

The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To Sir, with Love

:blush:

Is she subordinate to you?

Yes...I'm not her boss, but yes, I'm in management and was part of the group that sat in for her interview.

Think about other conversations- has she complimented you?

Unfortunately no.

Does she lean towards you or away from you when she talks to you?

Hmmm...towards me, I think.

I think I'm going to try some hit & run flattery, like, "wow, you look great" and just keep walking, as opposed to "wow, you look great, now let's stand here awkwardly." Also, there is another girl in the office who sits near her who is gorgeous & friendly (and engaged). I might try the old trick of flirting with that girl in a lame effort to make her jealous.

Or maybe I should just hit the strip clubs. I haven't been to one in a year. Maybe that's what I need to shake the cobwebs out of my brain.

Strip clubs are a good choice too btw.
