Want to Ask Her Out - Don't Wait

This was the plot line of a 2000 episode of Sex and the City. One of the Sex and the City females gets stood up for a first date because the guy died earlier in the day of their first date.

“Stood up at 27, Miranda had done nothing. At 34, she decided she wasn't going to take this stand-up lying down.“

Now why did 27 year old Miranda not care, yet 34 year old Miranda get so upset?

Because she had more options at 27 than 34, even in the era when dating websites were still stigmatized and most people met in-person.

I moved to a new State in June. Met so many great people so fast. Have been chatting with a woman at work since day one. My work closes at 5pm but after 4:30pm each day people slack off big time from 4:30-5pm. Even the big boss slacks off and it's totally fine if you have your work done. Almost everyday at 4:30pm I would chat with the woman who's desk is right by mine. We were also talking on FB but had not yet exchanged numbers. She taught me a lot about the history of where we work, and the city. She is even a former cop like myself so we had that in common also to talk about. We had discussed going out so she could show me some cool places in town. I really don't know if I would have called it a date or just two coworkers hanging out. First thing this morning, big boss calls us all in to let us know that she was killed in an accident over the weekend. She was 40.

This is the first time such a scenario has happened to me with someone I MIGHT have gone out with.

My point: As with parents, children, and family, apply the same to women you want to ask out. Don't wait, because you just never know when they may be gone from your life.

wow i am so sorry to hear this. Your lesson is poignant for sure

I lost two friends during the pandemic. Totally didnt expect it. I feel like alot of us havent come close to processing the events of the past few years, i know I haven’t
