How do you know if a female member of clientco staff likes you.

Last week, I was visiting clientco and asked the new BA if she wanted to take me behind the skip and give me one.
She said 'why on earth would a 25 year old blonde want to kn0b someone who is old and fat enough to be her father ????'

'I know AussieLong'

'wowser. just let me get me lipstick on'

[SimonMac]

Tell her a nice friendly joke

"Whats got two thumbs, french and likes blow jobs?"

"Moi..."

Then what happens the OP gives this week girl your number, I can see how it might work for you but not very helpful for the OP unless he tugs one off later at the thought of you and her

If they sometimes smile at you when you pass their desk, does this mean they like you.

You need to do it scientifically and use a moisture detector

"Does this handkerchief smell of chloroform to you?"

If she does, you'll know. Women aren't known for being subtle in these matters. "Sometimes" smiling at you probably doesn't indicate anything, unless you think the Receptionist fancies every man and woman that comes up to their desk. Try flirting with her, and she'll soon reciprocate if she's interested. If not, leave well enough alone is my advice.

What ??? Either this is an incredibly stupid suggestion or you are setting the OP up. Nice try there, pretending to be a woman and dishing out such advice so that the OP gets slapped with a sexual harassment case.

Yep, ignore this woman, her advice will def get you out the door if you try-it-on with said girl.

Cant we just ban her again - she is a liability and non-representative of the majority of women in IT that I know FFS

Jeez if everyone I smiled at at work thought that I'd be running screaming from the building.

If you think that merely flirting with someone and backing off as advised if they don't reciprocate is likely to result in a sexual harassment allegation, that says far more about what you think flirting entails than about my advice.

As for your asinine comment about my identity, just like your other unfounded allegation in the pension thread do let me know when and if you're ever prepared to put your money where your mouth is.

I'm prepared to send admin a copy of my driving licence and passport, if you're prepared to send him a photo of yourself holding a message with the apology proposed in the link above. Once he has both in his possession, he can decide which it's appropriate to post.

Until the day you're prepared to take me up on that challenge, you're just yet another big mouth that knows nothing but knows it loudly, hiding behind an alias and an avatar like the coward you are.

To be fair to Gentile, she may have meant 'light flirting', nothing overtly offensive or too pushy. I always use 'hi baby. wow, it must be freezing out there, yer nips are sticking out like chapel coat pegs'

This thread is panning out nicely
