Breaking the ice.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

So I got this crush at work named Curt. Hes 24 or 25 I forget and hes one of my 'bosses'.. the the assistant to my dept. manager. Anyways, I like him but have no idea what to say to him. Hes pretty shy and quiet himself but soo nice so its hard to start up a convo since he doesnt really say a whole lot! AND I dont wanna sound as if Im interested [even though I am :lol:]. Like today I had asked how the roads were and he answered but it wasnt like I could really continue the conversation.

[Mr. Stefani]

oh crystal.

[dawsongirl]

Ugh...yeah. I'd be in the same boat as you. I can't even think of a good topic that could be expanded.

[Mr. Stefani]

PROBLEM SOLVED!

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Mhm. Its so hard with small talk because Im not exactly the most outspoken person either so I know what its like when people talk. Youre just kinda like 'uh huh' *laughs*. Which is basically what he does! So its like durrr what to say.

"You know..uh, I'm the one responsible for those crop circles in England."

Works every time.

Wait a minute....that was a lie??

[Dutabi84]

Wait a minute....that was a lie??

Yes..but did it not work??

[dawsongirl]

Yes..but did it not work??
Well yeah, but geez...ohno:

:D

[Dutabi84]

Well yeah, but geez...ohno:

See? It worked like a charm. And if it ain't broke, I ain't gonna fix it! :cool:

So, what other abnormalities in the world were you also responisible for, big shot? And not splitting the atom, because you haven't done that yet. :nonono:

He told me he invented the spork.

Well, that's the only one I can take full credit for. I'm also involved in a project that would make the moon be a full moon every night, but there are still a few kinks I gotta work out. Gravity is kind of a pain in the ass, so I might have to put that to a stop.

And...as soon as my atom-splitting partner passes 8th grade science, I think we'll be well on our way to doing so.

[Dutabi84]

He told me he invented the spork.

Oh hell no. The spork is the biggest scam out there ever since the carpet sweeper was invented.

[dawsongirl]

He told me he invented the spork.

I LOVE SPORKS!!!

[dawsongirl]

Oh hell no. The spork is the biggest scam out there ever since the carpet sweeper was invented.

:( But I love sporks. :crying:

8th grade is hard!

I invented Post-Its.

[CollegeDropout]

Ask him how much penguins weight and when he asks you how much you say "enough to break the ice...hi my name is ________" works like a charm

[Dutabi84]

:( But I love sporks. :crying:

It's time to let go of the spork. *slowly grabs spork from hand*

[Dutabi84]

8th grade is hard!

Guess I'll have to tutor you on up to nuclear physics.

[dawsongirl]

Guess so.

[Janice]

Well, Crystal, I guess Daryl's out of the picture.

With Curt, can't you talk about work-related issues or ask him for assistance on something, perhaps your schedule? Then as you get to know him better, kick it up a notch and start asking him what he did over the weekend and telling him what you did. Talk about your concerts, etc.

It's hard at first, but gets easier with every conversation. You have to start somewhere. Good luck. :)

[Hollow]

i wish i could move on to other people as fast as you do.

Well with Darryl having a baby and a 'girlfriend', it was pretty easy to get over him! :lol:. Though I wont deny hes still some nice eye candy.

Thanks! Well he does sometimes make the schedules. I could talk about concerts, but I dunno how much he wants to hear about Clay Aiken :rofl:. I told Theresa I want to be a CSR, so hopefully he'll be the one to train me, that way we could talk a bit more hehe. Its just harder because with him, he is just so shy/quiet so convos just kinda drift off.

Though yesterday Corie and I were flapping and then shes all.. 'You and Curt should go out. I like Curt, hes a nice guy. You two need to go out!'. Made me feel pretty good :biglove:

Romy and Michelle invented Post- Its. Duh! :lol:

Oh dear...:lol: Used goods. But then at my age, they're all used.

Aww...the shy ones are the best.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

:lol:

Yes, they are. Hes just so polite, and I got a thing for nice guys! But shy ones can cause problems too... they dont talk! :cuss:

[Czas na Zywiec]

Talk about anything and everything. You need a base to start off on, so even if you think a conversation is stupid, go with it. Because you never know if he knows anything about it or not. I used to censor myself all the time because I thought that if I said something and no one would react, they'd automatically hate me. But you have to realize that you don't have to do ***** to impress other people. Be who you are (because that's all you can really be) and expand on that. You'll surprise yourself. Works like a charm for me.

[dawsongirl]

Oh, me too. A guy is nice to me, and like, boom, I have a crush on him. And then I usually end up breaking my own heart. :( I suck.

I know the feeling. It sucks! :( Crushes are fun and then you get all negative 'what would he see in me?!' and its like uggggggggggghhh.

[robyrob]

"accidentally" set him on fire, then you can "save" him by throwing him to the floor and smothering out the flames - you'll be his hero!

well, you are just going to have to manuever him over to the bakery area and push him headfirst into a giant wedding cake, then perform CPR on him.

Now that I can do! Caaaaaaaaaaaaaake :drool:

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

We're going mini-golfing Saturday!!!!!

Ok so the past few weekends we've hung out outside of work with some other co-workers and yesterday we went bowling. He brought some foreign girl here for the summer which of course made me all jealous and seething inside. After he dropped her off to some club to meet her other friends and we all went to Applebees. Then me and him went [alone!!!!!!!!!] to a lil pub and hung out for about an hour. He has my # now, I have his, and now we're going mini golfing on Saturday [alone!!!!!!!!!!!!]. I personally wouldnt call it a date, but Ill take what I can get.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

What sucks now though is he switched positions and will be working overnights so I wont see him as much, cept for the nights Im closing and whatnot and see him when he comes in. He said as far as hanging out goes, he doesnt plan on stopping that, he can sleep whenever.

ps buy Clay Aikens album tomorrow.

[Courtnee]

aha I was about to start a thread like this.

[Mr. Stefani]

Crystal, don't take my advice. I just looked back, yeah dont date someone you meet at work. BAD NEWS.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

But we got diff. hours now!

[Janice]

Crystal, it's not always a bad thing. I met my husband at work. We're celebrating our 21st wedding anniversay next week. :)

Yay! :birthday:. Well I dont really go out anywhere else really, so I might as well meet someone at work :lol:.

[swedeace]

Blah. Too bad I can't meet anyone at my job. Most instructors are way older than me and are married and all that. The guys that are around my age already have kids and/or girlfriends. Blah.

I have tried making social circles around my job, and it's working fine via online. I just need to meet/hang out with them in real life. They already know it and are in accordance with me, but it's just a matter of who wants to do the initiating. Grrrr...

It took me 2 years to make friends up here. I had friends at work and everything, but thats where it stayed - at work. Not until this summer did I actually start hanging out with people and now Im actually getting out of the house and feeling more like my age.

Im with you on the guys thing though. Lord knows Ive had many crushes at work :lol: but they were either old, married, had kids, or just not in my league for whatever reason.

I dunno... everyone at work is all like.. o0o0o0o!! lol and my friend Becky and Alyssa both swear he likes me because they can tell the way he looks at me.
