How do you ask a woman out on a date?

This is the thread that will never end; can we get some PVG?

The funniest thing that happened was "ask her if she wants to ride death or glory."

He sent her an email asking to do lunch last week. Then he expressed intent to follow that up with a call and a face-to-face visit and perhaps her being the kind of woman who needs to be asked out 5 times.

He didn't do that but there was a lot of deriding and punt shared some other stories about his past relationships, golf, and fortune cookies. No word on a reply if I remember correctly
 
Well since this Vampire will never die ... here's the update ...

I sent her one e-mail and I sent her one voice-mail message -- she didn't reply to either. So, that's a "no." ... Ok.

I know I'll be seeing her many times within the next few months. She's on my resume as one of my primary references. She's a good one.

Maybe I'll go to her work tomorrow and grab a grapefruit juice out of the fridge and ask her again if she'd like to have a sandwich for lunch. I have a couple of nice red roses in my front yard. Maybe I'll take one in.

If that doesn't work, I'll try again later.
 
Dude, giving roses to women at work isn't really that weird of a thing. You're obviously a nice guy and women do love roses. Especially if they know it is all just a good natured thing and there is no meaning behind it whatsoever. I don't know about the guys but whatever floats your boat.

But if you give this woman a rose tomorrow and ask her out AGAIN you will put her in a very akward position. You have really done this fine up until now. Perhaps you went one too far with both an email and a voicemail but the non followup was great. And acting normal in a work setting is exactly what you should do. But for the love of god please do not give this woman a rose tomorrow. Even if you give every single person in the building one and you wear a shirt that says "this rose is just a friendly gesture" she will think you don't understand. And trust me, getting the non call no that you got is 1000x better than getting a "no" right to your face.

If you give this woman a rose tomorrow you risk losing that good reference you obviously cherish so much.
 
As far as giving the roses goes ... I may or may not do it ... but my bushes out front have roses on them again. What shall I do with them?

The roses can die out in my front yard, or I can cut them and give them to people and hopefully cheer up somebody's day a little bit.

As far as giving them to the "guys" goes, ... eh, it was just an equal opportunity thing -- they liked having them too.

I won't be asking this woman out again anytime soon (unless the Magic 8 Ball tells me otherwise).

However, I probably will drop a rose off at her desk (and for the rest of the staff) tomorrow or the next day. ... Not as some sort of dating thing ... but the staff knows that I grow roses.

We'll see.

Unfortunately, one of my other dating possibilities didn't work out recently. ... Ok.

This is probably just going to continue to be a work relationship. Ok.
 
If you usually bring her a rose when you bring the rest of the office one, I guess that could be considered alright. If this would be the first time, then no, do not do it.
 
Give her a box. Inside the box put a dead pigeon. Leave a note that says "Unlike this pigeon, my love for you will never die."
