We got some new college temps at work this week. One girl is a 9+, according to 99% of the males there. I think she is hotter than a firecracker but not that hot. Maybe an 8.

Anyway she has been the subject of much discussion, we hardly ever get anything new to talk about so she is big news. I even commented to an older woman that I'm fairly tight with "Yeah, i can see the leg humpers coming out in force on this one. Where do I get in line to stick my tongue down her throat."

After today I may well be at the head of that line if I don't drop the ball.

She got assigned to work in my area, at least for today. People are swapped around based on daily needs for each department.

We showed her the things we do and went to work. I gave one woman up the road like usual, no big deal. New girl, I recall, was around for most of it. We really kinda went at it, as i would later learn the woman I "argued" w/ was pissed or something at me to begin w/. that is a whole different story, her being considered the resident "psycho" at work and all.

The new girl needed some questions answered after we got rolling and I helped her as she settled in. To be honest I wasn't interested that much, until I watched her bend over about 50 times doing the job. That got my interest up some. Still my lack of initial interest I think made the difference, as others were slcak jawed and sh*t from the get go.

I gave her a hard time, not really ever talking to her about anything other than the task at hand, and occasionally making a crack about the people around us. Soon she started coming and helping me do my job.

Well during break I was met w/ a hord of "hey studly, what's the secret" "how you doing that?" "Heard she comes up and talks to YOU", etc.

Stuff like that will raise your confidence for sure I can say from first hand experiance. I truly felt like a badass. Add this on top of one woman who has the hots for me nicknaming me "Tom Cruise" a few months ago, and one supervisor telling others during a break "You two over there could learn a thing or two from "PLAY" here, he'll be getting his "E" and "R" soon."

Thing is despite all the postive reinforcement I get, and all I have read on here and other places, I still get to a certain point and
I'm at a loss for the next move. I can ask for a number, date, or whatever no problem. Thing is I must do something that causes the girl to pull away, I'm not sure what it is but it has me gun shy now as I can't help but wonder if this is just another trip down a dead end street for me.

What should I do? I'm in a bad spot w/ this, if I get shot down, I WILL hear about it relentlessly from coworkers. I mean BIGTIME. I've seen it happen all to often. If I don't go for it I WILL hear about is somewhat but not as bad as a turndown. Not a very good position, one that has led me to a "no coworkers" rule. But now I'm thinking about throwing that rule out for this girl.

How can I be smooth and confident about asking her out? She was hanging around after we(12 people) cleaned up our area. She asked "now what". I said something like "its Miller Time" or similar. I noticed she hung around, standing kinda close to me for a few minutes as I talked to other people. I can't help but think she was waiting for me to make a move.
I wasn't sure what to say.
I also wonder if showing a big interest this early is bad and will scare her off. :confused:

Showing BIG interest is bad. If asking her out is what you meant, no it's not too early, especially if she's interested in you already. Do you and co-workers go out to bars? If so, ask her if she wants to come, and then pull out your DJ guns that night. If not, you've got to ask her out sometime, so you might as well strike now. It should be something casual. Maybe you know a good lunch spot in the area you could offer to show her.

It almost sounds to me that the only reason you want her is for braggin rights. You said she's only an 8? So if that's not good enough then move on...if you do want her, then you are going to have to number close and hope for the best. Maybe have a quick rebuttal if she says no to try and make her laugh...anywho, good luck man.

Part of the problem is having 65 people watching every move like a damned soap opera. Adds a bunch of pressure.
