Actually yes, I tried to set up a date and she was interested in me (she had worked at my company in another department) but had the whole don't date a widower for a year rule. So, it fizzled, I moved on and frankly I think if she ran into me today on the street there would be some major lol.

DM me if you want more specifics or examples but my advice is this.

Ask them out in an appropriate manner. Just call them and say you are interested in them and would like to meet for lunch, dinner etc. and get to know them better. Something like that.

Female.

I'll start snooping...googling their name and what not...the internet is the DEVIL, I tell ya!

I'll always keep my cell phone close to me, at all times, on vibrate, so I won't miss their phone call.

I've done late night drive-by's, to see if they're really at the place, they told me they'd be at.

There's only been one woman who ever really, really got to me at first sight. She was quite a bit younger, and I was just taking on a job as consultant where she was the office manager. I did my best to ignore her, as I was afraid if I looked at her I wouldn't be able to stop staring. It was a Christmas party, she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever met, and she was dressed to kill.

A few months later we had become best friends and a little more, and she mentioned that she didn't think I liked her initially, because I seemed to be completely ignoring her. So I had to explain.

Male.

I start working out more. Like most people, my weight has gone up and down. When I think back to those periods where I was in good shape and not lacking motivation, there was always a woman in the picture. While I hate the idea of getting in shape for someone else, it really is a great motivator. Problem is when that person is no longer in the picture, I get lazy and start putting weight back on.

Driving by late at night to see if they are really there at the place they told you they were at is stalking? Um okay. It's weird but I don't know about stalking.

Liking someone is the absolute worst feeling in the world. Its almost a total relief when you find out they dont like you or only want to be friends. I hate it hate it hate it (liking someone).

Well, I probably would not do the "drive bys" because that would make me too crazy, but I would definitely Google the person and I would probably look forward to the phone calls, although, I really don't care to talk on the phone too much and I hate cell phones. If I am out doing something else or socializing with other people, I do not want to be bothered. Too many phone calls from someone I do not know well is intrusive to me.

I'm like that too, but only with people I'm really not into all like that yet... but if I REALLY LIKE the person, too many phone calls doesn't bother me. At least with me it doesn't.
