Question from a new member....

[Borbosha]

Ok I have a question and I am hoping I can get an answer. First a little background:

Ok I work at a company as the warehouseman and I basically ship packages all day. Well this basically means that I call up companies for a good part of the day to set up the shipments. Well over the past few weeks (3-4 probably) I have been talking to a person that I am starting to like talking to. We talk about more than just work (where we go to school, what we like to do, what we have planned for the weekend and holidays, and we even talk about some of our interests outside of work). Over this time I have started liking her and am thinking of asking her out. The only "problems" I can see is that we have never met other than the phone and I don't know for sure how old she is (guessing about my age based on where she goes to school and our conversations).

My question is... what should I do? Should I ask her out or should I get more information or what? I don't want to seem too out of line plus the fact that I don't know if she has a boyfriend or not.

Anyway, thanks for the help in advance.

I say go for it! If you like her then meet, and talk. It seems like you guys have a lot in common, and can talk about a lot of things.

Age is just a number, but if it is a problem for you then maybe you can just keep things friendly.

In matters of the heart it's always best to just go for. In the end it's best to play your chips and know you didn't leave anything on the table.

As my guy pretty much told me when I asked "why me", if opportunity knocks, go for it. Don't let it pass you up.

And as someone who let one get away, don't be me. 5 years from now you may be regretting what you didn't do.
I mean I was young, I was naive. I wasn't into the whole boyfriend thing and I didn't care to have one.
But I do regret not taking that chance. I regret letting him slip through my fingers.

So yea, go for it.
You ain't go much to lose.

Yes, I'd say just ask her to meet for coffee or something. *If she has a boyfriend, she should let you know then. *

Good luck.

Well, since you don't know EVERYTHING about her, why don't u just say to her, "Hey, i was going to swing by <name bar/coffeehouse here>, wanna join me?"

Worse case: She'll say NO and is not interested in meeting you

More likely she'll either say:
1) Hey, sounds like fun, what time and how will i know you
2) Oh, i can't today, but what about next week
3) Sure, let me just tell my hubby/father/mother/son i'll be home a bit later

See what i mean, no matter what you do, you'll get more info from her and it's unlikely she'll just kick ya to the curb.

Step up!

Well I found out how old she is (24). I am 19 (20 in feb). Unfortunently due to the holliday I haven't had the chance to ask her out yet. But will probably do it this week. Thanks for the input.
