Please, Just Let Me Die Already
LeeC:
haha fair enough.
well I have been on some dates since I broke up with my girl 8 years ago. But either we didnt hit it off, I fucked up or they fucked up.
I meet new people everyday but usually in a work setting. in fact I have been told I am the most friendliest person at work. I am pretty good on striking up a conversation but I feel awkward trying to get someone's number at work because I do computer support and I fear that I will make things awkward. Also if it didnt work out that they would feel they couldnt ask me for help. Plus I am not good at detecting signals from women that they find me attractive or are interested in me. honestly I feel like marten http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=64
I also for some reason feel awkward with "hitting on" girls at bars. Feels too cheesey. Oddly enough its hard to find a wingman because all my friends have a GF or BF.
as for type, I really dont have one. I know what I like when I see it as far as physical appearances go. the only rule I have is I dont want a girl that will crush my legs by just sitting in my lap. (No offense to anyone reading this)
Aimless:
Why'd you break up? If you don't mind my asking.
LeeC:
she turned out to be a crazy racist. Oddly enough a week after I broke up with her, her uncle died in the pentagon on 9/11. Felt kinda bad for her. :oops:
and the girl I had before her thought her uncle was Lucifer incarnate, and she stopped bathing for some reason. :-P yeah that one didnt last too long.
a pack of wolves:

You obviously want to, so do it. There is nothing even slightly odd about chatting to someone a couple of times and then asking them to meet up sometime on the third meeting, don't go thinking you've missed your window of opportunity since that kind of thing is nonsense anyway. In fact, there's pretty much no way for this to go badly. If she declines then there are innumerable reasons why she wouldn't feel like meeting up with a new person when she's about to move away that have nothing to do with you and how much she'd like to hang out with you in other circumstances. If she does go for it brilliant, you get to hang out with a nice person. There is basically no downside.
LeeC, work is a very difficult place to meet people romantically because you're quite right, it can get awkward. Unfortunately some people go very odd if they date someone a few times, it doesn't go anywhere and they still have to see the other person. Bars are tricky too, personally I'm always reticent to try and chat someone up there since I know that many women absolutely hate the fact that they can't go out for a drink without being bothered by someone trying it on. Not that trying it on is a bad thing in itself but I do understand how it can get wearing if it's every bloody time you go for a pint. It sounds like you need a social activity outside of work where you can get to know women, and these are actually pretty easy to come by. Think of your interests (or something you feel you might like but have never tried) and then think which of those have social activities attached that involve groups of people (this is basically anything, but it might be best to focus on ones that will have a better ratio of women, so films and rambling over tabletop gaming and motorsport), find a local group and get involved.
LeeC:
oddly enough pack of wolves, I quit my job this upcoming friday, I'll be going back to college. Oddly enough I come close to "hooking up" at nearly every concert i go to.
