So you're scoping out the hotty that joined the payroll? You're not alone; far from it. Here are some suggestions as to how you can stand out from the clutter and eventually win out.
10. Compliment other women To get a gauge of her interest, throw in a comment about how some other woman is attractive. See how she reacts: does she get jealous or think you are immature? If it bothers her slightly, chances are she wants you to compliment her.
9. Stand out from the masses Distance yourself from the many men who are flocking to the office babe and throwing themselves at her. She will view them all as already conquered, while you will represent the challenge for her.
8. Bump into one another as you leave Try to coordinate it so you finish at the same time. Be subtle though. If you can time it so you both leave the office simultaneously, then you can walk from work, a perfect opportunity to get to know the women better and determine whether or not she even knows you exist.
7. Let her overhear your conversation with your lady friends She need not know more than the basics, but let her see how you make your friends and family laugh and enjoy life. She will want to be on the other end of the conversation, and then some.
6. Have a life outside of work If you have a chance, make sure that she sees you outside of work, especially if you come across as too serious on the job. If you offer intelligence, charm, compassion, a sense of humor, and a desire to have fun and live life to the fullest, she just might want to share that with you.
5. Don't get drunk and flirt with other colleagues Sounds obvious, especially since it takes very little for a woman to write you off. Her even suspecting that there is a chance you picked up the woman who sits across from her will make her cross you off her list, for good.
4. Use your strengths She can see who the best looking guy at the office is. But you're not in a club and the music is not loud, so don't use this as an excuse. Talk to her, make her smile and laugh, even flirt with her (discreetly), as long as you do not show her your aces. Remember, the good looking ones get boring quickly if they don't have a personality to back up their looks. Assuming you have a sense of humor, can chat with a woman and pique her interest, you are in the lead.
3. Show respect for others and pay attention to everyone This is a double-edged sword. Show enough attention to other males and females so that your "target" sees you're not only nice to her because you want her. However, as you can imagine, do not be too nice to other girls.
2. Stand out I don't care what anybody says; nobody will ever notice you, let alone go out with you if you are a mere shadow on the walls. Make sure you get noticed, but don't become obnoxious, because that's one thing girls hate.
1. Give her a sneak preview Without bragging too much, describe your weekend escapades (the stuff that doesn't incriminate you of course). The hottest girls can have fairly boring lives as intimidated guys fear asking them out. Admittedly, the more stuck-up girls refuse everything in sight, so these you may not even want in the first place, well...
Yeah, hot babes love finger puppets and homemade potato guns. Works every time....
LOL.....................you're a very, very sick man. :)
I wanna party with YOU.
You make it very clear that personal hygiene is "important," you're "disease-free," and you have a tongue that is capable of being used as a helicopter propeller.
all of this I have in abundance, Masters. what lacketh I? Could be that there is no "babe" on the payroll? Could be that I married on once and it was a disaster.
Should we really be having this discussion on the same day that a bigshot at Boeing gets sacrificed on the altar of "sexual harassment policy?"
Not to mention what Mrs. Stonecipher might want to extract from Mr. in retribution.
PS pissant, my favorite user name on FR. I laugh every time I see it.
Could be the "no-babe-on-the-payroll" factor ;-)
Forget about the ex-old lady. Learn from your mistake, Grasshopper.
As many ladies were burned by their jerks, as were you. They await their White Knight in Shining Armor.(Or helicopter tongue in cowboy boots ;-)
For once I actually see good advice to men in this article. Simple and basic.
Right.
Finger puppets??? Where?!?!?
...withdraws, pondering the Mystery, bowing in reverence.
Age would play a factor on the approach.

"Just to be clear here, this doesn't mean deliberately physically bump into her. That creeps women out."
Ah, but if you are very subtle, you can time it so she bumps into you. If she likes you, blood will rush to her face.
In my experience, if blood is rushing ot her face it's probably because it's mine and she's biting through a major artery.

Yes, but the PC and Feminazis crowd have bastardized it, and bastardized the word 'stalking'.
It use to be "pursuing thy love interest", a once noble exercise.
Unfortunately, the hot babe in my company is my boss. She also owns the company. I think I'll just keep everything at arm's length. Of course if she faces me head on, it somewhat shortens the distance.
Remember that you have to time it so she bumps into you. You're innocent!
And/or blowing smoke rings out of your ears?
