OK men, gather round and listen up: DS has a problem and needs your collective advice.
I really, really like a girl from work. I had just seen her around the office previously and didn't have much call to talk to her, so just left it, but last night she was out in the pub with us for someones birthday, perfect.
I took the opportunity to sit and talk to her for hours (which is quite the achievement with my lack of confidence) - we got on really well, she was laughing at my crap jokes, we bought each other drinks and we even danced badly to Britney.
After that she got talking to one of our clients, and ended up leaving with him (pretty sure this was innocent though, I mean it was 3am and we where all forked).
Not sure what I should do now - I really think we made a connection, and why shouldn't she like me? I am great after all.
What do I do boys?
Whilst I appreciate that an online forum about toys is probably not the best source of relationship advice, it is not lost on me that a lot of you guys are married and I have known most of you for years and trust ya.

I dont really know what to tell ya. Me and my wife met online, we spoke to each other over webcam and within a day or so we was in love. I flew 3500 miles to see her when we decided we wanted to be together forever. So she left her husband at the time who was badly treating her, engaged me and we got married. It almost sounds so simple doesnt it?
For you....i guess the best thing to do is just let her know that your interested so she doesnt think otherwise and go off with some other geeza. Go out together for a meal i say, spoil her rotton and take it from there. Just dont give up unless of course, you see her poncing about with another bloke.

I'd just go for it man. Easier said than done I know, but life is too short to let potential opportunities pass you by. Catch her outside of work or on a break ansd casually ask her out for a coffee or dinner or something. Worse case scenario is she says no, but at least you'll know then. If she says yes then at least you'll be able to spend more time together and strengthen a connection (if there is indeed one).

[glow=red,2,300] I'm with Bowl-Head on this one - Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained.
Fortune favours the bold and all that!
You would be surprised as to what most ladies will agree too if you just ask...

[/glow] Good lord! She works in a very cliquey department that I have little to do with. I'm just not sure how to open a conversation where I'm asking someone out. Never done it. How I ever had a girlfriend previously is beyond me! I'm 27 and successful for christs sake. Why can't I do this?

OK men, gather round and listen up: DS has a problem and needs your collective advice.
