Yeah, I am not the one to give out advice right now, seeing as how I am only 3 steps ahead of Asherian.

Masturbation isn't sex although I do talk about sex a lot on DakkaDakka, but unfortunately I'm still a virgin.

Speaking of GES, he apparently got banned. The man who broke Racism got banned. Over an accident. From GES's words he said this:

Also, aren't you, like 14 Asherian? I am too, but batting for your own team? Really?
Uhh I'm 16..... not 14..... I have been playing this hobby for 10 years.
16? And still no Girlfriend? Hop on a plane to Vegas, baby! All your dreams will be there!
Anyway, Slarg, make time for her. If she is that important to you, eat a big breakfast and have a sandwich every hour for lunch.

Well My parents didn't allow me to date. It was a thing that all my siblings had to go through. Except I suffered some really really bad wounds from a couple years ago. I just got interested in this one girl. That I want to date. But eh what ever. I'll just take it slow.

From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
The Bad News: She wasn't there today. Tomorrow I won't be able to go to work because of a Blizzard thats brewing in the entire midwest, and I probably won't be able to get out the door, much less an hour down the high way.
The Good News: I found out when the Cashiers all go to lunch, completely by accident. Assuming she works when I next, I be GOLDEN! (also, technically in the bad news, I found out that she isn't stuck at a set counter, so she might not always be able to look straight down at me :( )

Ah, you've been doing your homework. Excellent pre-stalking!

Hey, Stalking is an ugly word, I prefer Obsessive Shadowing.
And besides, it's not like I'm going out of my way to find this stuff out. I was hungry and took my lunch a little earlier than usual, so that's how I found out when they went to lunch, and people keep putting the wrong things on my cart, so thats how I found out she doesn't have to work the same till all the time.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
Oh my god Slarg, all these pages and advice and you STILL havnt talked to her? WTF is the hold up buddy? Dear lord Im about to jump on a plane and pick this chick up just on principle.
I asked out one of my managers when I was 17 once. She was 28. Was it nerve racking? Yes. Was it worth it? Hell yes. She was a full blown red head from Ireland no less. Just take the damn risk already!

No worries, I am just waiting for the right opportunity. I would have today, but the storm kept me at home (it was a category 3 Tornado, for those of you who didn't know, strongest one we have ever had). Tomorrow I go down to get my car looked at on my day off, and Friday I will be all over her like a fat kid on twinkies.
That sounded better in my head.....

Sorry thats my response to any and all fat jokes. Its like breathing yanno. Well ok Ill hold off til Saturday man. But if I look on here and see no progress, Saturday Im on a plane and will be mackin your girl something fierce! As long as shes of legal age. Otherwise this conversation might continue from jail

So funny so funny.
Get serious now. And ask the damn girl already!
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
Right, now you've even made ME get involved! This ends now.
OP She's a person. Just a person. A female person, but still a person. Her ego is just as fragile as yours, perhaps more so. She's a girl - despite appearances, their confidence is built on shifting sand. There is absolutely no reason for you NOT to go up and speak to her right now. In fact there's an excellent chance she's wondering why the feth this bloke she went to school with and grew up with isn't coming up to say 'hi'. Don't think of her as a possible sexual partner - that's advanced stuff, young Jedi! Just treat her like a bro. She'll appreciate you for it.
Do the following:
Walk up to her with a quizzical look on your face, like the one Mr. Obama is wearing in the pic below.
Why? Because you want her to think that the reason you didn't come up and talk to her before was because you weren't sure it was her, instead of being because you are a dick who isn't interested in talking to someone you went to school with (not saying this IS the case, but she might think it).
Say: 'Oh! It IS you... I wasn't sure! (*laugh* - carefree friendly, NOT nervous pervert) You look awesome! I hardly even RECOGNISE you! How are you doing? (you MAY even ask about her family at this point - ONLY IF YOU'VE MET THEM! ) Sorry I didn't come up to you before - I didn't want to make an ass out of myself if it wasn't you! *laugh*' (she will probably chuckle at this point, too)
The exclamation marks are intentional. You should sound pleasantly surprised, perhaps even a little bit excited, to see your old friend. But don't overdo it or you'll look like a horny teenager who's never spoken to a woman in his life. It has to be believable. YOU must believe it.
Don't be afraid to tell her she looks great. It won't sound weird. Women LOVE to be told that, especially if they're in their work scruffs. If you time it correctly (right after you've sort of said 'OH HAI!!'), don't sound like a pervert by making it sound too sexual, and don't be too specific ('your hair is amazing!!1!!' could sound creepy if you don't know her well - best avoid stuff like that), it will give her a real boost and she'll decide there and then that she likes this person. The nature of her 'like' for you is up to you to build on over the coming days. Get in nice and early with an offer of lunch or coffee. Don't take ages over this or you will most certainly end up in the Dreaded Friend Zone. Take it to drinks or dinner (cinema etc.) out somewhere after you've done this, preferably RIGHT after, whilst the memory of the good, fun time she had with you is still fresh in her mind.
This has been Charm 101. Trust me, I'm British.
It's in-built.
Good luck.

You should just get one of them hidden ear pieces and let Albatross feed you stuff through it as you talk to her like Hitch. Puncture repair kit on standby.
It is simple don't over think it just start a conversation about something useless. Work is going so slow eh? So hows life? Is your sister/brother/mother still a X? (I dont care who you are or how rich or stupid never ever say slut or whore for X lol)
You really don't have to get the big moment going before you speak normally.
If you want to ask her to coffee or a movie or that hit out with that line last. It has been ages since we talked, care to go out for coffee or something to catch up? and pass it off as just a simple question. No going red at the face, fluttering or dying of embarrassment.
(was that any help at all or should I have read the last 4 pages?)

Slarg232 wrote:So, here is the situation I need help with basically:
I have worked at a job for the past week or so. It's a good job, only problem I have with it is the hour long drive to get there and back. Or at least it was. Basically, this girl I knew grewing up (As in, since Kindergarten until 6th grade) got a job there. I haven't seen nor talked to her in 6-7 years, but she recognizes me and I recognized her when she went in to apply. We are both kind of staring at each other while we are working, and I can tell she wants to talk to me, or at least is shy around me.
She has kind of approached me twice, but I kinda panicked. I am kinda starting to panic.
Dakka, what should I do?
Am I missing something here? Most normal people who meet someone they know at work go up to them and say hi. If you fancy her,k then that's a seperate issue, but why are you finding it so hard to just go up to her and say "Hi (insert name), it's been a long time, how's it going?"
Why the panic when she walked up to you? So you fancy her, so what? That's should have nothing to do with having a normal conversation. If you were building up the courage to ask her out, that I can understand.
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

Albatross gives bad advice, ignore him, listen to me.
Going over and saying "hi!" takes some confidence in itself, maybe your not the kinda guy who finds that easy.. women like compliments, so you have to try and give her one (fnaar fnaar) in a non sexual way, so try this one.
Talking about the weather is always an easy one to break the ice, and can be said to anyone, so it doesnt look pervy, try this.
You.. "Man its hot today!"
Her.. "I know! isnt it?"
You.. "Ye dont sweat much for a fat lass"
Putty in your hands.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Yesterday, I woke up at 6:00 by the wind, we had a good two feet of snow in the driveway, it took us an hour to shovel it all off, and within two hours had two more feet of snow piled up. Semi Trucks were getting blown off roads (or so my dad says, he actually had to go to work). Today was beautiful though, so tomorrow I should be able to go to work and report back on how it went
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
You said you needed advice 'badly' so that immediately puts me in the frame. First of all don't be obssesive, imagining all the scenarios means they are less likely to happen (As a side note a girl can always tell if you have been fapping furiously while thinking about them, it's their sixth sense). Second of all you can get away with a Facebook friend request after just one conversation, you could mention your blizzards or whatever. From the facebook 'beach-head' you can start by 'liking' her links/statuses (only ones you genuinely like tho) then commenting on them and eventually if you start to get a good back and forth try some FB chat, these should build your confidence for real life interaction. Then invite her out for a drink and slap her across the face with your willy.... DONE!!!! I accept cheques....

You guys are a bunch of chodes, holy crap. Albatross and I are the only ones who have given you some form of advice. fething sack up dude.
Oh and stop masturbating. Gives you less drive to go after girls. Seriously. I've gone without it for at least 3 weeks now and I notice when I don't spank I always do better with the ladies anyhow.

I found out when the Cashiers all go to lunch, completely by accident. Assuming she works when I next, I be GOLDEN! (also, technically in the bad news, I found out that she isn't stuck at a set counter, so she might not always be able to look straight down at me :( )
