So, the company I work for is going to have a party this weekend. It's just a small get-together, my main mission in going is a big one, if the very reason of going is met.
Other than not going to a party with people around my age for the longest time, it'll be a nice change of pace from previous weekends. The big reason I want to go is to impress a girl. I'm a little rusty on doing so though. I get the whole "be myself" thing, but I also want to have fun and not totally look like an idiot.
What should be my game plan?
Just so you know and to hone your prediction to this person; she is very centered on her work (aka a career-chick (I seen the term in another thread and it basically sums her up to a tee)). She doesn't seem to show much interest in men, for what I've seen how she acts around certain men at the office. She's approachable, down to Earth, but has a knack of killing a conversation.
I guess what I'm wondering is if it's even worth the work?
Definitely go and talk to her a lot. Try to steer the conversation away from work as much as possible and don't forget to get her number so you can get together with her outside of work.
Yes, this will be a work party and she is a co-worker. I was on the fence on going to this party in the beginning. Another co-worker has been "head over heels" to get a party going throughout the summer, a date finally stuck and it's this Friday. I was really debating to not go, thinking of anything to prevent me from wasting my valuable WoW time, up until this girl I mentioned above asked if I was going.
I have a daughter and I'm single. I don't get out much. I'm not interested in a relationship, but it will be nice to be able to get out and enjoy myself and actually talk to people around my age. I do have strict rules about work relationships, too, but I'm still interested in impressing a girl, if I have a chance to.

Maybe she has her own policy about dating co-workers if you find she quickly kills conversations. Some people don't want to be very close with co-workers and would rather just be friendly instead of getting too personal. Nothing wrong with that. It prevents a lot of unnecessary office drama. Her priority may be her career. She's there to work, not hook-up with anyone. Do you at least know if she's single before you attempt to hit on her?

As far I as I know, yes. However, that's the extent of what I know about her. I know more about the hot, young receptionist and I only say two words to her every 3rd week. As for the co-worker, I talk to her daily but only know her first name and some similar interests.

So you want to impress her, but not date her?
All I can say is it's not very impressive when someone is TRYING to impress you.
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish?
I don't need an interior motive to just get to know someone, do I? I mean, I try to impress my boss (and myself) on a daily basis. My only interior motive there is to just keep my job.

The word you are looking for is ulterior. I hope your boss finds out you hate English and cans you for that.
