Office dating is a touchy subject. Moreso for some than most, but lets be honest here, everyone has at least had a crush on someone they work with, so how do you pin her down for a date?
Do your homework, if she is single, its a go. If she isnt, move on.
Start slow. Girls are constantly being thrown dick. There is always someone there that will offer sex at any time day or night. Its a fact of being a woman. Sex is something that we can get, give us something we CANT get so easily. Start out slow, with a smile across the room. A head nod as you pass her desk. A cute little wave with one of those sexy smiles.... It works, trust me.
Give her something for her desk. Money is tight, I get it. But take the time to pick something out for her. A little plant that will brighten her day if she spends all her time doodling flowers. A little pen holder if she is always back at your desk borrowing pens, or an awesome poster from despair.com. The point is, make it personal and make sure she knows you are interested in her. Giving her something to store on her desk makes sure she will think of you several times in a day, and even brag about the cute boy who gave it to her. Win/win.
Be talented.My hotspot is a nerd who can fix my computer and make me laugh, my girlfriends turn on is a man who can sing. Figure out your talents and show them to her. If you can play guitar, bring your guitar to the company picnic and get the kids doing a round of old macdonald or something. Her heart will melt into her shoes right alongside her pretty pink panties.
Be available. Girls want to talk. Its what we do best. Let her talk about herself, but be aware of whats really going on. If she is flipping her hair around or twirling it between her fingers, she wants to see you naked. If she is crossing and recrossing her legs with a glazed look in her eyes, she is already seeing you naked probably right then. Girls are predictable, just like dogs, you just need to know what to watch for. Talking about their boyfriends and how miserable they are is just about the best way to tell that they are into you, if you don't see it, ask somebody. You can also read up on body language
here, there are alot of signs to watch for.
Violate her. I dont mean pin her up against the pepsi machine at work, I mean do something that cant be misconstrued as coincidence. Push the limits, and show her how confident you are about it. Buck up, brush by her at work and while you say "excuse me" put your hand on her lower back. Lower back touches are only effective when they are used sparingly, and only AFTER the arm touch. If you havent perfected how to touch a woman on the arm, go back to gradeschool. If she touches you first, she is opening up a doorway. Imagine that touch means just as much as words. If I brush my hand on the arm of a man Im talking to, especially if he is opening up about something private or personal, it shows interest and desire. If she comes by your desk and can't help but touch you, even in a teasing manner, she is probably interested or a whore, you be the judge.
Keep it quiet. Don't open your mouth about it at the office. Save all that for guy talk later, where it won't get back to her how you want to bend her over the copy machine or tie her up in her cubicle. Girls generally don't want to be talked about, so its best not to kiss and tell. or even want-to-kiss and tell.
Ask her out already. Just do it, what do you have to lose? If she says yes, have a place in mind that you want to take her, and NOT to a movie. You guys have plenty to talk about already, you work in the same industry, you work with the same rejects, you both know the same people. Conversation will flow, because you will be confident, you will be a good listener, and you will promise not to tell anyone that you made out in the supply closet after drinking too many margaritas at lunch.
So there is my "To Do" list of things you need to date the girl at your office. of course, I have a short list of 'donts' to accompany it.
- Don't cheat with the girl at the office. You never know who is friends with who, and those company picnics could be increasingly difficult for you if you choose this route.
- Don't forget that it will probably end at some point, dont make a huge ass out of yourself and fall in love.
- Be careful who you talk about, her friends might not be your friends, and vice versa.
- Leave religion out of it. And kids, and exes. Its just the right thing to do.
- No excuses, just do it already.

"Girls want to talk. Its what we do best"
I almost took offense to that point. Almost. However, not being easily offended, I will just have to vehemently disagree with it.
Oh please. No girl wears pretty pink panties. That's just a lie you tell to get guys to notice you. Trust me, we don't need lies to notice you. Walking past our office door is just enough.
And the touching thing is really key. I passed my GF at the copier one day and ran my fingers lightly down her spine. Heard her breathe catch and watched her face flush. Big smiles that day...
This is some good stuff, I definitely like the "dont's" as well...an office affair is never a good thing, only in fantasies!
what if you're the boss?
I once asked out one of the part timers at my station.
Normally I wouldn't think of dating a co-worker, but I NEVER see part-timers as we never work the same shift. They punch in as i'm punching out, or after I leave. (plus she was fucking hot as hell!)
At first she said yes. Then a couple days later she told me she didn't think it was a good idea to date a co-worker.
About a week later I found out she was just another lying cunt as she quit the job yet oddly enough... we never had that dinner.
I can't help but think about The Office..awesome list!
"Her heart will melt into her shoes right alongside her pretty pink panties." That made me laugh. My strategy is being the only Asian around - I'm a commodity! Hahaha, sheesh, I foresee a large number of people getting fired for sexual harassment after reading this one.
@SladeTheGreyFox - its how I met mine, but I was the pursuer, he was completely oblivious.@Wildvixenz - They never leave their wives, but their wives WILL leave them.
@tetrahydride - Then she cant say no?
@nothingbeast - its the anger beast, stop with the anger, the chicks will come a running.@eucharis12 - I love the office!
::files this away for future use and adds this to the men's manual::
Thanks for the awesome list.
i just tell everyone i dated her. everybody else does. why can't i?
@antisoccermom - Yeah, it's a nice double-standard the ladies have with me.
All but drop their panties when some asshole goes walking by. Ditch me and my dinner date for the guy who treated her own sister like shit ("but I can change him").
But i'm just a jerk when I get tired of being the doormat.
"she is probably interested or a whore, you be the judge."
Bwah ha ha, This is awesome! =P
@Scrooge0 - Thank you! Come by anytime!
Brilliant, this. Can you do "How to date the girl you have a couple of classes with that you've never really been able to come up with a reason to introduce yourself to" next? Haha
@TheNightManager - http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-the-first-move
Remember kids, don't fall in love.
Very nice guide. I approve.
Haha, made out in the supply closet, but isn't the supply closet full of stuff? lol.
Good advice!
You should rename your entry to "How to get hit with a Sexual Harassment lawsuit"
Great list, I like it. And while sexual harrassment could be an issue... after watching those videos that some places of business make you watch about sexual harrassment and what NOT to do... I always just told the people I worked with that if they thought I looked especially hot that day or my legs looked good or I smelled nice, they'd better tell me because I need that little lift in my spirit.. I would never file suit against someone just complimenting me.
@TheNightManager - I say you ask her for help with your work... let her "tudor" you.... or ask her to study date. Or... bump into her, making her drop all her books, andthen help her pick them all up while chatting...
Darling, do you have to compare us to sex-crazed dogs?
@CallMeQuell - who? did I do that?
@antisoccermom - Mm, 'fraid so, dear. Check out your Be Available section.
