Yeah... I'm going to pass on the cheesy one liners, never liked those make my skin crawl. So that's a definite no go. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also creating convoluted and/or contrived scenarios seems creepy and weird, doesn't come across as natural and comforting.

Yeah, who knew asking out a person at work was so complicated? I think what you really need is an elaborate flowchart, and 16 contingency plans.

Yeah, the scale one cracks me up. Apparently someone who logs into an internet forum that has never heard of YouTube or DIY searches....

As a professional elaborate flowchart maker, I wouldn't know. I get through every interaction by pulling out a flowchart to obscure my face, and follow it exactly. I have never felt lost in a conversation, and everyone wonders what my face looks like behind the giant sheet of paper.

A bit of mystery never hurts when trying to make a love connection via flowchart. Bravo.

There is no face. Only another flowchart.

Ha ha. Good one. This is an awesome thread. If the OP is still here, there's a Red Hot Chili Peppers song called Deep Kick where at the end Flea sings out:
"But the Butt-hole Surfers said
It's better to regret something you did
Than something you didn't do"
Of course, that's not always true, but I generally feel Flea is correct here. If there's this girl that has your heart at a supermarket in Kamloops, ask her out.
There was this girl in high school I liked my entire senior year (and my freshman year in college) and I never asked her out. I spent the entire senior year imagining talking to her and asking her out and just never got the balls to do it. I still regret it- just because she became such an obsession that I wasted so much time thinking about.

"Would you like to eat with me?," he stammered, his boylike awkwardness readily visible.
"Yes, yes I would like to eat you" she replied with a smile that showed too many teeth, "I mean with you."

Or maybe:

So far nothing, I mean at any time I half a dozen things going on at once, DIY speaker stand project, making dinner, house cleaning, going to the pub with some friends, visiting my family, video games, career planning, car maintenance, work, online shopping, volunteering, etc. So if I encounter
her again that's cool, l might try something, if not plenty of fish in the sea. So yeah, I have too many things on my mind to be even that concerned about this, it also explains why I don't comment much on Dakka.

Best not to ask them out at their place of work, that typically does not go over well.
If you know them outside of work that'd be much better, else you're in a bit of a tough spot.
Best of luck!

Sadly, she was replaced by a self-check-out machine that was not interested in the OP's advances.
