You should start bringing her a sack lunch to work everyday and see if that gets you any further. It may just be exactly what she's looking for.Serious relationships turn into work after a few weeks and I already got a fucking job :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ H.A.F. = Hard As Fuck ...

shah269 0 #53 February 24, 2010 Quote dude you have ZERO clue I think it's a cultural issue. Darious would get it a little better. No worries.....live and learn brother live and learn. But thanks for all the insight. I honestly never saw things from her point of view. Thanks 3 2 1 (some one will find offense to me saying thank you and accuse me of being a pigdog )Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Heatmiser 0 #56 February 24, 2010 I know you're an engineer, and solving problems is in your blood, but sometimes you have to learn to just enjoy people, without trying to fix them. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience. Airtwardo Someone's going to be spanked! Hopefully, it will be me.

Andy9o8 2 #59 February 24, 2010 Dude. Since you're forcing the issue, I'm going to give you a piece of advice; and believe me, it's for your own good: Have no more contact with women, ever. Period. Anything less just sets you up for failure. I have to tell you, and it's from 30+ years in the workforce, including 25 years of practice which has included, among many other things, a fair amount of employment law: You're a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen. Go to work; stay at your desk; don't go anywhere else; and for God's sake, don't talk to or communicate with any women. Wear Depends® so you don't have to get up to go pee. At the end of the day, walk directly to your car, keeping your eyes on the floor. Go directly home, and stay there. Do not leave your home except to grocery-shop and skydive. Better yet, hire somebody (male) to grocery-shop for you. Follow this formula to the letter, and you just might save yourself from a loss of career, loss of all your assets, jail time, an ass-kicking and deportation.

'some' people are just plain rude - you'll never change them. No thank you for helping me see things from her point of view. I think it's a cultural / education issue. Cultural in that in my culture we always say thank you. Hell I thank the guy who puts gas in my car. On the education, being an engineer for 10 years I sometimes forget that not all problems re meant to be solved. But like I said live and learn.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

JohnMitchell 16 #62 February 24, 2010 Quote even been on travel with her and she's discussed how her work causes dry skin (chemicals are bad) Now see, that's the opening gambit for a friendly exchange. "Hey, I remember once you said working here really dries your skin out. I get the same thing, but a relative in the cosmetics business sends me tons of samples of (insert brand here), really nice stuff. Would you want to try a bottle of it? I've got so much of it." Of course you know to say that from several feet away, not inches, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, but on the whole I prefer the stuff I buy to work properly the first time rather than that the technically clueless "customer service" people supposedly helping to fix badly engineered products have good interpersonal skills....

Hahahaa, Remi, I ALMOST posted that, after reading Skybastard's response to the original question: Quote Maybe she just doesn't like you and the thought of having something you've touched in close proximity to her, let alone smearing it on her skin makes her feel physically sick. Just a thought. I was laughing so hard after reading his post because I kept picturing Shah saying: "It rubs the lotion on the skin, or else it gets the hose, again..."

billvon 3,116 #73 February 24, 2010 > But yes "expecting" a "thank you" was immature of me... Uh, you got one! > I'm sure in her eyes I'm just another dorky engineer with a bad hair cut. In her eyes you may be a threat, someone she has to be on her guard against so that you don't take things the wrong way. From this thread, that's not an unreasonable concern. When you describe a co-worker in terms like "for an engineer she's good looking" "she is a nice girl" "I notice . . . the poor girl is using $0.99 moisturizer" "She's one of those overly educated "special" people" you may have (or hope for) a relationship other than that of a co-worker. From the perspective of a manager, that's a disaster waiting to happen. Leave her alone. >From now on if i have anything I'll set it aside for my friends at the DZ. I give stuff away all the time. We grow lemons, limes, guavas and avocados, and I make beer. Once someone expresses an interest in one of those I'll take a box or bag in and give it to them. Often they'll do the same; drop off something they baked or a beer they found that they liked. Why isn't this a problem? Because: 1) I don't give people things unless they express interest in them 2) I don't concentrate on "women who are good looking for engineers" 3) I don't insist on thank-yous 4) I make it clear that if they don't want it it's fine, someone else will take it (and if they don't want to give me anything that's fine too.) It's not giving things to people that's causing you trouble. It's the creepy factor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
