johnny35 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Hi I would appreciate your advice on this one. I’ve been in a 3 year relationship prior to being single for just under a year now. I have been wanting to ask a girl out for a few months now. She works in Marketing / Advertising and her photo is often in the newspaper. I know her name and mobile number. We unfortunately don’t have common friends and I have never met her personally. I know that she sometimes conduct marketing campaign at shopping centres. I don’t know what’s the best way to approach her and ask her out? Of course, sending her a text on her mobile or facebook would sounds creepy - right? Do I send a friend request on facebook? Or do I wait for the next marketing campaign, pretend I am interested in whatever she is advertising and then make the move? I don’t want to be tacky and loose the opportunity to get to know her. I’m 35 and she’s 27. Sometimes, I think I may be too old for dating. Your help would be most welcome

You're not too old to be dating, but probably a random text or Facebook message would be awkward. You really don't know anyone who knows anyone who could introduce you? Are you sure she's not involved with anyone? Are you sure she's straight? Approaching her at a marketing event and you may find her in full work mode. Businesslike, professional, friendly-but looking for the next gig. One thing you could try is, go and visit with her if there looks to be a lull. Then go back a couple of hours later and ask her if she'd be interested in a drink when she is done - or the next weekend, etc. If she is working with someone, chat up both of them and invite them both out for a drink. No, it may not be what you want, but she's doesn't know if you're a closeted Christopher Wilder.
Author johnny35 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Hi Lady2163, Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, we don't have common friends but I'm sure that she is still single as at today (but not for long if I don't make a move soon) I haven't thought before about what you said on her being businesslike, professional and friendly but in full work mode. I guess my chances are just to make a move during the next marketing event and invite her out. Hmmm...
