expos Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Well I've developed a major crush on a TV anchorwoman. Go ahead, laugh! She's a weekend news reporter and you can bet I've never missed a telecast. She also seems smart, obviously well spoken, and most importantly professional. I have emailed her regarding a possible story for her newscast and she thanked me for the input. I just wonder what the next step would be in approaching her. It doesn't look like she is married (her website biography mentions nothing about children or a husband and she doesn't wear a wedding ring) so that's a definite plus. The biggest problem is trying to approach her without looking completely ridiculous. I might have some luck two weeks from now when her and her news team have a meet and greet at a local convention center. Should I approach her there (of course non-chalantly) Any advice is greatly appreciated.
whichwayisup Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Wow, never seen a situation like this before. You have to be very careful - You don't want her to think you're a "fan". Maybe call the station and find out her direct number? I don't know if that is creepy or not? Calling her and talking to her, or seeing her in person. Probably would be better if you talked to her at the convention centre. Good luck
Author expos Posted November 29, 2005 Author Posted November 29, 2005 Well...file this under the big loss category. I was watching the news last Sunday and she announced ON THE AIR that she was leaving. I basically screamed "NO!!!" and threw some stuff around my apartment. Girls are too damn powerful! I never met this women and she already upset me! This was really the finishing touch to a Holiday weekend where I sat all alone in my apartment and basically felt sorry for my pathetic self. So first thing yesterday morning I emailed her and told her that enjoyed watching her on the news...told her that I knew someone she knew (which was true...and this person was supposed to hook us up)...and told her that I'm sad our paths never crossed (take it from me...the way I stated it was in a non-psycho non-threatening way). Never heard back...so I'm thinking that she no longer checks that email address since she doens't work for that station anymore. What a bummer. I think about all the times I could have emailed her out of the blue this summer...but was just too chicken ****.
JS17 Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 You should have a chat with Gold Pile. I think you two would get along nicely.
Author expos Posted November 29, 2005 Author Posted November 29, 2005 what do you mean? Please fill me in...I know nothing about Mr. Gold Pile.
Neptune Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Well I would always develop a crush:love: on one of the gals on the weather channel and then she would end up pregnant:confused: . So, this seemed to happen everytime for a long time.
Yamaha Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Unless you run in the same circles with people on TV or radio your chances are slim to none dating them.
Lights Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 what do you mean? Please fill me in...I know nothing about Mr. Gold Pile. Gold Pile is a user here who has a record of listing his most recent attempts to pick up women in ways that some of the other forumites often consider strange or quixotic. Congratulations for trying. There's no need to bummer out on anything on past opportunities for emailing--the probability of response to those emails would be the same question that you faced more recently, no? Don't insult yourself--you haven't done anything or anyone wrong. Unless you run in the same circles with people on TV or radio your chances are slim to none dating them. You and Yamaha touched on something, though--what does one do when one's current social network doesn't include the people or kinds of people one wishes to date?
Author expos Posted December 1, 2005 Author Posted December 1, 2005 I would've been even more upset if I didn't even try to make things happen. My only choice was to go the e-mail route. I actually have her number...but that is a little much. Meeting through email is obviously far less in-your-face...and it's a route I've gone before and have had success with. I actually did email someone who had no idea who I was earlier this year, and we met at bar with our friends in tow....and the whole thing was a success. I'm hoping that one day I'll get the opportunity to meet this girl face to face...it's just one of those "no stone left unturned" things.
