How could you screw up the administrator profile if you are signed in as administrator?

Actually it's the chairman's fault and combined with having an infatuation with the girl that works one floor above me. :o


Note: The chairman is not some type of executive. He's a lazy individual. :mad:

I got her name! :)

I've been trying to find this out for the last couple days. It didn't come from her however.

Today, the chairman :rolleyes: struck up a conversation with her, yet she kept looking at me the whole time. We have exchanged a few "hello, how are you" this week as well.

I want to somehow continue this with her.

So start up a normal conversation with her!

When you do, make the conversation about anything but you.

Here's the problem (or I think it is, I hope I'm wrong). She's not in the same department as me so I have little if any contact with her. I pass the floor that she's on a few times a day however.

Should I go knock on her door? She shares an office with two to three others. :wth:

I could see her when she leaves. I'd have to hang out in the chairman's domain and if I do it every day she'd probably think I'm stalking her. :wth:

Do the two of you have a common acquaintance? Someone who could introduce you?

Yeah never make it look like your stalking her. She'll get the willies and tell her friends.

Well that one would be awkward. It might be taken wrong.

Wait patiently and strike when opportunity comes. You catch her in the hall or outside....in passing. Then just strike up a conversation. Get her name and start from there.

I've been out of the game for a long time. I'd bet YeOld lady killer or another member might give you some pointers on topics to discuss. The trick is to look and sound confident. You look her in the eyes and smile a lot. Never mind that irritation emanating from below the belly button. Use the other head on your shoulders.

No she's not married. :)

Since I have little contact with her it's not going to be easy to start up conversations.

Dunno. :confused:

That's just it. I'm not the one that would fix her PC. :D If I was then it would be easier..... to talk and stuff.

Like I said earlier. I walk past where she is maybe two or three times a day. Lots of times she sees me and is probably like :wth:

I'll admit I look in the doorway when I pass by. :D

It's not like I can go knock on her door.

Deal Or No Deal?

I contacted someone on another forum and he said I should probably not bother unless she openly flirts with me then yes.

I'm sure she does not walk past my door looking for me

I'm not 100% sure she's in a relationship. It's not like she told me.

Thoughts guyz?

Correct. Though I think she may be blonde. Really didn't pay attention to hair color. It's not what attracted me. :)

Do Not listen to what someone else tells you about a woman you're interested in! Listen to what she says.

I learned that the hard way.

Bro, a woman might put out the word she's "in a relationship"... or wear a wedding ring- as another example- ... "to keep the wolves away".

You never know until you ask her. And you can't trust just anybody. Since none of your friends are acquainted with her, you don't know if you've gotten the truth. People do bullsh*t for all sorts of reasons, irrational crap like jealousy, or a secret desire of their own...

CableDude wrote:...Today, the chairman struck up a conversation with her, yet she kept looking at me the whole time. We have exchanged a few "hello, how are you" this week as well. ...
When she was looking at you, did she seem to be sending you signals, either with her eyes or her body? How about during those brief hellos?

I personally am a sucker for eyes, especially if they're hot, lemme tell you bro :rotfl:
The eyes are something I'd have to look into everyday, so that's one of the first things I check out. I figure that if I get into a relationship, I'll be looking at face much more than I will at booty or breasts.

I have to disagree with this idea:
YeOldeStonecat wrote:...Means "So what". She married? Or just in a relationship. If just in a relationship...still fair game, ya just might have to work harder.

Would you like somebody to take your woman away from you? If not, then why would you try doing that to someone else?

I'm sure you've heard:

Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.

What comes around, goes around.

Imho, if she tells you she's in a relationship, but still wants to mess around... nah bro... she's poison.
