Ok - this should give everyone a laugh and the opportunity to abuse me but let's do it anyway. I am stuck in friendville with a girl at work. I am an average looking chap but have a big personality to compensate, this is an aquired taste though, I can be very sarcastic. Result is a bit of a marmite situation - women will really like me or really not but they always have an opinion !
I am not the Duder and have had way more than my share of liaisons and a fair few knockbacks too - probably because I go after women who are a bit out of my league but I like the challenge.
Anyway work birthday bash a few weeks ago - made a bee-line for very trim girl who I vaguely know and her equally fit friend. Ended up chatting to her/them for about 2 hours and they were lapping it up. I must admit I was enjoying it because there were loads of blokes around who were giving me daggers for boxing these 2 off.
Anyway - put a bid in on the girl in question, unfortunately I was off my face by then and she was driving. She laughed it off and sent me an email on the monday (unprompted) saying she was seeing someone, thought I was a nice guy blah blah e.g. you are great but ugly so I will stay in touch as you amuse me but will never give you any sugar ie - stuck in the dreaded 'friend zone'
I am chilled about that - didn't fancy my chances anyway so said how about lunch sometime.
So we have just got back from lunch today - she turned up, obviously made an effort - hair done (she works with it tied back it was down), fresh lipstick etc - err why ?
Lunch goes great - in between laughing, she tells me how her boyfriend barely says anything, is a bit odd etc. Obviously doing some comparisons !
Get back and she says we must do it again about 5 times, the emails are flying etc.
So - what to do now, leave it ? Arrange to go out again ? Casually mention a date with someone else (after all friends talk about this stuff) ?
I realise this is as far as some of the geeks have ever got with a girl so they will be struggling to assist, so probably one for SA !
Right - duck and cover !
