    There's this guy that comes into Food World, where I work, to get his paycheck cashed. Beautiful beautiful guy. He doesn't have one of those typical faces, it's got character and he's just. . . wow. And he's lean, very hot body. First time I saw him he was wearing a Rubber Soul T-shirt. Had I looked closer I'd have seen that it was a Beatles T-Shirt, but for some reason I felt like I shouldn't stare at his chest, so I asked about it and he told me it was a Beatles shirt. I told him he had good taste. I immediately thought he must be interesting, perhaps even a fellow pot smoker.

    Well, turns out he knows one of the guys I work with. But anyway, he's come into the store a couple of times since and I have no clue what the fuck to say to him. I'm at a complete loss for words. I feel like such a retard. Lol. Well, today I was determined to speak to him so I asked what he does and if he likes his job. That's it. Otherwise he texted while I waited on him and talked to his friend that I work with. And I just stood there like a dope. What am I, 14? I don't know how to do this.

    Well, I looked him up on Myspace and turns out he's a painter. Wow. How cool. What a cool person that I would like to know, and I was so right about him being an eclectic person. I don't know how though. I don't know how to talk to guys or show that I'm interested. I'm completely in the dark here.
    Any advice? [​IMG]

    Make yourself a nice Myspace page, if you haven't one already, and try sending him a message there... I think the suggestion above could be good.

    Have your coworker introduce you, talk you up.

    Now that I did. I feel silly for not being able to talk to him in person, but I did send him a message on Myspace. I told him he was eclectic and I dig it.


    What would I ask my coworker to do? He's already offered to give me the guy's number, but I thought he might think it creepy if I ended up having his number without him ever giving it to me. Lol.

    tell him you think he seems cool and ask him if he wants to grab a milkshake or something sometime.

    I can't take him out, I don't have a driver's license. I need him to ask me out. Would it be rude to ask him out only to tell him he has to do all the work? It's kind of a given that if he asks me out he'll pick me up, isn't it?

    what? what work? I do not understand this problem. just tell him to meet you somewhere. don't make it a bigger deal than it has to be, you just want to find out if he's as cool as you think he is, right? you're not after an uptight, uncomfortable date with unrealistic expectations that might lead to complications... right?

    Lol, no. I just don't know what to expect, or what he would expect. I'm just nervous and often over think things. This is all very new, but that's a great idea to meet him somewhere.


    Thanks for the replies. :)

    fool yourself into pretending you dont care, so you wont be so tense around him. that nervousness can impede a nice casual conversation and is often very palpable. i know it seems impossible to turn those feelings off, but it will really make things easier.

    You need to look him in the eye after a couple of seconds look down and smile. It makes some guys curious as to why you are smiling and many of them will ask why....there you go he has started the conversation. Talk to him about art, music, hell you could talk to him about the one eye one horned giant purple people eater. ;)

    Yeah, like Jimmy said, offering to meet him somewhere would really help. That would take the stress off of you if you do ask him out. Be brave. And trust me a lot of guys think shy girls are cute.

    people are interested in what there interested in.
    if you are actually and honestly interested in any of the same things he is, then get both of you involved in some project that intrests both of you.

    if not, then you're BOTH BETTER OFF not 'trying to intrest' the other IN ANYTHING.

    Well, the myspace should have given you a hint of what a lame-o he is...

    I'm kidding so people with myspace don't get your panties in a bunch...

    actually I lied...

    What if you actually carry a conversation with him and you found out he isn't what you thought he is or was..
    All you can do is just trying talking to him really and see if you like the insides as well...
