    ok everyone,

    i kissed this girl from a diff dept at work (albeit drunkenly) a couple of times...now i really want to ask her out....i want to ask her to her face but it would be so awkward, ive been emailin her and textin her a bit but i dont want to ask her out by email....so what im thinkin of doin is just askin her friend (who im friends with and work with too) wheither it'd be a good idea or a bad idea to ask her out.......

    that way i cud minimize embarrasement

    wud that be a good move??? what yiz reckon?

    Grow some balls and ask her out somewhere on your own. It doesn't have to be flash, could be the movies, a quiet drink, whatever. From there it'll take it's own course.

    For god's sake, don't try going through friends (unless you're 12 which I doubt seeing as you have a job)...

    A girl likes a guy with confidence.
    I have to agree. The longer you leave it, the harder it will be. :D

    from a girls point of view, to get your friend to ask her is a bit immature and a big turn off. ask her out yourself face to face, whether she says yes or not she'll respect you more for having the guts in the first place.

    good luck

    Work is such an easy situation. Quick email - "What are you doing for lunch?". Then at lunch ask her out for dinner/cinema/drink later on.

    Go to Woodies/B&Q or your local hardware store buy some superglue, then go to your local golfing supplies store & glue a pair of balls on dude - worst thing that will happen is she says 'no' - big woop, you'll get it out of your system, get over it & it'll be done.

    NEVER ask someone out by email - never never never never, unless you wanna come across creepy..... same applies to txt. Just ask - the world won't end IF she says 'no', nor will bad stuff happen. Just get it over & done with - you may be suprised - there's a 50% chance she could say yes.....

    Dunno why so many Irish blokes have hang-ups about this. I used to, but I just 'got over it' - it's no big deal.... wanting the woman means putting it on the line...... sometimes it works & it rules, other times it doesn't but it's no biggie, you got a rod.... go fishing...hehehehehe ;)

    Dont leave it any longer just ask her you've nothing to lose! you dont have her now! and d worst that could happen she could say no but at least you tryed! sure if she says yes its a bonus!!! If your txting and emailing her and she's replying i think you have a chance cause she wouldnt txt or email you back if she didnt like you.

    Get real buddy! She evidently likes you - just ask her to her face.
    You're in there.

    Well you got away with the e-mail route this time, but stick to the face to face method in future. Good luck.
