just send the email, don't over analyze the situation

good replies ;]

let us know how it works out for you

twitter her twat and post to 4chan then nuke it from orbit that's the only way to be sure

We need Mr. Romance in here :)

You need to get her into an aol private chat. Then have one of your buddies steal you a phone card so you can talk for reals.

Bro, walk in there to see if she's there. If so ask her out.

If she's not in, leave her some flowers with a small note asking her out including your contact info. Or if that's too cheesy, leave a business card of the restaurant you want to take her, obviously with the same note.

Flowers still do good though trust me.
Especially if you have one of her female colleagues accept them for her and you flirt with her a little too.
Show some balls. She'll deffinately put in a good word for you ;) You know how office gossip works. Use it.

The worst that can happen is that she won't get in touch. Big deal.
Keep us posted casanova!

so what did you do ?

I actually agree with you MetaMan...it is creepy and just showing a lack of kahones.....

Here's my try at how his post would look like:

Ask the girl out by email.

Mr. Romance

make it a positive not a negative. You are respecting her workplace by doing it this way.

"hi, sorry to do it this way but rather then bug you at work....etc."

why show the balls when you don't have them.

Just write email

Priceless :1orglaugh
