Don Juan
Good day, gentlemen
I ran into a woman a week ago at my usual lunch spot (take out spot with a few seats to dine in). We ended up sitting beside each other and had a cool conversation.
She's my age, no kids, well established and highly sought after in her career. We're in the same profession. I'd say she's an HB 8. Pretty impressive package I must say.
After we spoke last time, I told myself if I ever run into her again I'm going to ask her out.
SO at lunch today she walks in and we end up sitting together again. Start talking. She's really friendly, telling me about her weekend, work etc.
About 2mins in:
Me:Are you married, have a boyfriend? (mistake #1)
Her: Yes..a boyfriend
Me: "ok...cool. I was going to invite you out for drinks but....ok cool"
Her: "pardon me, "
Me: "cool..you have a boyfriend"
Her: Are you single?
Me: yes
Her: It must be easier for men...the dating pool is so much smaller for us
Me: I guess..we have our own challenges though. There're certain things a man has to achieve and have in place to be in the runnings for worthy female attention. But it's not as bad as the pressure you guys face for sure.
Her: Yeah...in my younger days I would be less tolerant of certain things in a relationship. Now I find myself more tolerant because if this doesn't work out who knows if I'll find someone else.
So we continue small talk and part ways after we finish eating. I didn't even ask for a number.
I realise I made a mistake of asking her about marriage etc...I should have just told her I want to take her out for drinks and let her bring up the boyfriend ****.
My question is though...She told me where she works...It's pretty close to my workplace. Should I 'just happen to be passing the area', stop by and ask her out for drinks seeing as I didn't really ask her out...or should I wait until we run into each other again?...or should I just forget her altogether? Has the ship already sailed and I missed my oppurtunity?
What also has me thinking is that she's about to hit 40, doesn't have kids. She did mention in our convo that she can't stand hearing kids cry at work. so there's a chance that she might be childless because she genuinely doesn't want any..but who knows...
So what do you say gentlemen?
