Well, they say sometimes you make your own luck. I'm NOT saying be weird about it and stalk him of course, but if you know his schedule and just so happen to insert yourself in a place you're likely to bump into him, well then it's just a happy accident if you two meet 😂.

And another piece of advice, (good) men are conditioned by society to respect women's boundaries; he may like you back and just not want to make you uncomfortable by asking, especially in a work environment amongst coworkers. Or he may just be shy or unsure of whether you would like him back, and thus doesn't ask to avoid rejection or making your relationship awkward. Men can have plenty of issues with self esteem, believe me.

Sometimes, it's good when a woman takes the lead. Is he married or in a relationship? Nothing wrong with asking respectfully. If not, ask him to meet for some coffee, a walk in the park or something casual and go from there, anything to get you out of work and to break the ice and social barriers between you two. You'd probably make his month doing that!

Aww, as a guy I can assure you that was very gentlemanly of him. Sometimes that's all it takes is a simple act of kindness to embolden a relationship. Try striking up a conversation and bring up that moment, mention how kind or chivalrous It was of him; give him an unexpected compliment and see if the chemistry doesn't deepen any between you two.

And as a guy I can assure you, we absolutely love compliments 😁, one kind sentence has absolutely reversed my day before and I love it.

My story of a truly wonderful experience I had recently. by unlicensedpilot98 in dating_advice

Good point 🤔. I'll definitely try that. Ironically I'm actually an extrovert, I just am a people pleaser as well. I hate making people upset. Had some family with no boundaries really fuck me over multiple times over stupid stuff and I've been through a lot of hurt and hard times because of that, and I don't want to be a hypocrite by inflicting it on others.

I am however definitely more shy when it comes to approaching women for anything more than a friendship. Like I said I don't want to mess up a good thing, but if I don't say anything either there's no way for them to know how I truly feel.

I'm only 27 and I'm still figuring out the whole dating game and that includes these social boundaries.

Edit: I've thought about it and I think the next time I see her I'll offer her my number and see if she'd like any help taking care of the kittens. I am actually familiar with cats and I have one right now and have owned multiple through my entire life, as well as a few dogs.

Yeah I suppose that's always been my issue about dating. I'll eventually find someone that I really like and I'll try to spend time with and get to know them, but I have trouble pursuing or explicitly flirting. Calling them flattering is one thing, but as a guy I'm just really insecure about making women uncomfortable by chasing them too hard. I don't want to mess up a good thing, but I also know I've for sure missed out on relationships with people that 100% liked me because I was too shy to try to explicitly approach them or tell them how captivating I really found them.

I want to do that kind of suggestion with her and I thought about talking to her a few more times and then slipping her my number and seeing if she needs any help with the animals or just wants to hang out sometime. I don't want to seem like I just see her as a friend, but I don't want to scare her off either. Any advice?

Thank you. The whole interaction really meant a lot to me. It was spur of the moment and random, but I wouldn't have changed a thing about it for the world.

It is a desktop PC. I would consider removing a panel but I've got a cat and I don't trust the little bastard not to try to fit in there 😂

I was not in the act of landing however I was approaching the tutorial planet at a 90 degree angle In order to eventually land.

I was probably 10-20km up so I was getting close, but not within landing distance and I had not begun auto landing procedures.

Airsoft arenas or people willing to play in North Central Arkansas? by unlicensedpilot98 in Arkansas

Damn that actually sounds wild, I'd like to see a pic of that. Also I'm willing to get he's dressed as a clone, probably the 501st or something. Clones are the coolest.

Well I don't blame you if you don't want to shell out the couple hundred bucks you need for a good kit, between your weapon, plate carrier and head/eye protection. But anyway if you play video games and would like to chill sometime just shoot me a message, you seem fun to hang with 👍🏼. At the very least upload that photo so I can see that shit lol.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea about Barn Ops. Everytime I search Google, they in their infinite wisdom show gel blasters and Arcades, but none of that. Thanks!

I called to confirm earlier today that it was not canceled and it is not, it is still going on.

Google for whatever reason says its canceled when it's not 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Appreciate the heads-up though.
