routeski Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Hey guys I have asked this question on a number of different sources but thought i'd put it out here too: Long story short, there is a girl who works a couple of doors down from me and from looks alone I quite fancy her! Sadly I've been looking out for her everytime I leave the office hoping for a oppertunity to speak to her but she's never there. In the 2 years since I've worked there I've seen her maybe 6 times. Anyways the other week the waved and said hello when I was having a cigarette and was that little bit too far away to run over to say hello so I really need "an in" so to speak. I found a picture of her on Facebook as it appears we have a friend in common, albeit certainly not a good enough friend to ask a favour off. I think the way forward would be to send her a message on Facebook saying hello but I can't help but think that sounds creepy. Any ideas of what to say? Or indeed should I stay cleer of that idea entirely! Thanks Rob
nopainnogain Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Hopefully she dosnt hate smokers. I would attempt to contact her in person first when you waved did she holla back?

Yeah I worried about the smoking thing. I quickly stubbed it out when she walked past like I was at high school again! SHE was the one who waved at me unprompted. I did wave back but I think it looked a bit pathetic as I was nervous and flustered for some reason! I'd love to contact her in person first but it seems impossible as we're never in the same area at the same time.
monkey00 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 You should add her to facebook. Most people on facebook won't mind the add even if they're not really close to you. That way you can talk to her when you guys aren't working and can be more low-key than going out of your way to speak to her at work where things get more obvious to nosey co-workers

Author routeski Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 I don't know, I don't really like it when people I don't really know add me as a friend. I've said a total of around 8 words to her in my entire life, so adding her as a friend is a little presumptous I felt
CommitmentPhobe Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 You're not trying hard enough. Wait outside her office every night
littlekitty Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 You're not trying hard enough. Wait outside her office every night Not at all stalkerish....! Mind you I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Author routeski Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Hmmm....I'll put that on the list underneath hiding in the trunk of her car and jumping out at her house!
Green Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I say the facebook thing is a gamble, girls find the darndest things a stalkerish turn off. Your best bet since you never have an in is to awkwardly walk up to her during work hours and invite her to some party your going to this weekend or something... I mean when you have no ins, I say randomly talking to her in person, is cooler then randomly msging her online
Walk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Hmmm....I'll put that on the list underneath hiding in the trunk of her car and jumping out at her house! Ha. Great sense of humor! Why don't you stop by her area during morning break? Pop in, tell her "I'd like to buy you a coffee (or soda) some afternoon. Here's my number" Hand her a business card and then tell her you have to get back to work.
Author routeski Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 We work for different companies in different building, only on the same street so I don't think i can really just be walking past.
