how did it go with dating someone from work? I feel like this is a touchy subject only cause of the stuff that can go wrong if it doesnt work out
I've never had a bad experience, but I know how to handle myself and like men who can as well. I stay away from those who have a flare for the dramatic.
It's very easy for some men to attract women because these men have more attractive qualities in them and these qualities really turn a lot of women on.
The qualities in a man that I found to turn a lot of women on are:
1. Strength and durability. Some men are much stronger and are more durable than others. Strength and durability are important in some sense because stronger and more durable men can provide more security to a woman and will likely will win in a fight if it ever occured.
2. Passive-aggressive confidence. Confidence is attractive.
3. Smelling good and fresh. Smelling good is key when attracting women. Also flatulence or any other bad smells can really be a turn-off.
4. A lot of money. Some men have a lot of money and can more easily please a lot of women with their money like buying them expensive goods and giving them a better quality of life.
So as you can see, some men are simply superior to others and have more to offer.

I'm curious to know if you accepted this date. As for myself, I am fairly outgoing and friendly, but I can't imagine walking up to a lady in a store and asking her out. Sometimes I wonder how many men actually do this and how successful that would be.

In modern society this can be a risky proposition. But the PETCO example makes sense to me...the presence of small, cutesy and furry animals are a natural deactivator of a woman's defense mechanisms against strangers hitting on her.

I did not, but it wasn't because of PETCO or his approach. He started talking to me and asked what kind of dog I have. When I told him I have a pitbull the look of fear on his face told me everything I needed to know.
Aside from that, he didn't present himself well enough for me to want to see what his reaction to my dog was about (baggy pants, baggy tshirt, untied shoes = NO). I'm attracted to guys that are clean-cut.
I have accepted dates from men who approached me in stores, though. A guy I dated just recently asked me out when I was perusing the yogurt flavors in the store.
I think you just answered your own question! (see bolded part above). I think that's the difference between you and your friends, they are willing to take anyone they can get and see where it goes, whereas you're more serious about it. But there is such a thing as being too picky as well. You may be missing out on a great relationship by not going on a few dates and seeing where they lead.
And personally, I don't believe you need to feel strongly about someone before you date them, because as you experienced, by the time you got around to a girl you were interested in, she was already taken. Those feelings should develop after you go on a date and get to know them, IMO.
I agree. A first date means nothing and it's, generally, foolish to let someone go after just one date.
I'm not saying go out with anyone, but there's not that much to lose with just going out once or twice. Screening too stringently (way before you even know the other person well enough to gauge compatibility) is a mistake. Give other people a shot and then decide!
Some people are 'undateable' and very few want them in the first place and the ones that do, maybe that person wouldn't want.
