| Whipper Snapper |  New Crush
Ok, so I need some advice. I have a crush on someone at work (not a co-worker but someone here in the building) and sometimes I think the feeling might be mutual but it could just be my wishful thinking. I am feeling more confidant and I really want him to ask me out. So the question is... How do I get him to do it without putting myself out for rejection? I do understand I must put myself out to some extent however if there is a way then let me know. I have done all of the regular things like showing genuine interest in what he has to say, sharing some interests that I have that I know he shares. I am not to eager. We have had lunch (or what would be considered to most a midnight snack) a couple of times in a group. other than that we have not sociallized outside of work. When he is on Mids is when I see him which is every three months. I'd love some Ideas.... |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Ummm...not much help in that area, but are there any local events coming up, fairs, festivals, things like that, that looks interesting and both of you might enjoy? If there is, have you tried indicating that you think it fun to go, but would be nicer with company? Not specific, but something like, "I wonder if anyone else is intersted in going?" kind of thing? Well, my dating days are long over, so....maybe I should go brainstorm my daughters.... Good luck, I'm wishing you the best with the guy.

I think that Doc has the right idea. Good luck. I hope that it all works out for you. New crushes are so fun. Every once in awhile I develope one with my husband as weird as that sounds. It is like I take him for granted for a long time and he gets on my nerves, then all of a sudden I just get all giddy all over when he is by me. I know, how corny huh? Oh well, I guess it is the hopeless romantic in me. I will be looking forward to you posting once you get a date with him. Janae |

Thanks Doc great Idea's... He and I had a long converstation last night abount anything and everything. It was pretty great He showed me some pics of his daughter and It gave me an opportunity to mention that I liked the zoo and museum. Maybe he will get the hint... Janae, I think its great that you and your husband still have that spark... I hope that If I ever get married I will have that too. Alyssa |

Hey Alyssa, the fact that you had a great conversation about anything and everything is a good sign. I know it is hard to imagine with how much I talk on here, but I knew I had to marry my husband when I met him, because he fascinated me. HE was the first man I had held a conversation with where I couldn't get a word in. He isn't like that now, but boy was he a talker. Whenever he complains about how much my son talks, I just laugh to think that he didn't get it just from me. I hope that he gets the hint and that I can read about your hot date soon. Janae |

Alright....it is 2006! Why not ask him out? Sounds that you both have a lot in common. Maybe invite him and his daughter to do something with you durning the day, not serious and see where it goes from there. You are feeling great and no reason not to make the first move. You know guys can be shy just as well as us. He is a friend from work and just make the date a friendly thing and see where it goes from there!

just for your info, I was the one that asked my husband out on our first date, come to think of it. Come to find out after we went on the date, that he was walking over to the phone to call and ask me out since the same "bug" had planted the idea that we should give it a shot in his ear too. That "bug" was in our wedding line at our reception and gave us a year's supply of toilet paper as a gift.....lol. Just make sure that if you do ask him first, that you let him make a reciprocal move too. Breaking the ice is one thing, but once he has a signal from you, I would try to let him take the lead. Janae (just my opinion, you know him better than I do.) |

Hey, I was wondering whatever happened to your new crush? Anything yet? Have you broken the ice with him yet? Just curious. And just so you know, I was the one that starting flirting with my husband first. He would grin and turn around to see if I was flirting with someone behind him. We laugh about it now (7 years later).
