Why did they say not to try to meet people at work? Because of potential fall-out/awkwardness if it doesn't work out? I had the impression you worked for a big enough outfit that there were different departments, so any unsuccessful relationships wouldn't necessarily jeopardize your ability to get things done. idk, rabb, I'd stick with what works, unless there's a good reason to avoid certain situations.

IMO, I have to be the one to approach the guy. Even though I'm a shy bunny, I rather do the talking. I can't stand being approached because I ALWAYS give the guy a blank stare. I just STARE at him, I make Bambi faces. O__O

If I approach, I can control the conversation and I'll know what to expect. (Since I can't read minds) If he approaches me.. ASDFGHJKL;

Yeah, and I think it's ridiculous. I thought I read someowhere that the office is one of the top places to meet but then again what the hell do I know.

And, yes, it has worked for me in the past so I see no issue.

The office IS one of the top places to meet. But it can really backfire in small offices, so some offices really discourage it. But if you're in some gov't bureaucracy or a university or any big institution, you can socialize across departments, and it can work.

I'm not going that used to be me when I tried to approach a girl. I'm better now but as long as things stay mutual.

The inner thighs.

For everywhere else, diving, jumping or piggy-backing is fine; but when it comes to the inner thighs women want to be approached because it takes proper timing and circumstances to build up momentum.

If she feels otherwise, she'll let you know.
