11/24/2004 - Cool Head
I've given speeches in front of large groups. I've given speeches in front of small groups. I have performed with the band in front of decent sized crowds. I've gotten very good at conveying a calm demeanor when I have every reason to flee like a villager screaming "GODZIRRA!"
However, there is a woman. I have been friends with her for maybe seven months. She is very attractive, however I had always thought of her as a friend, since we work together. You don't get your honey where you get your bread. I've got rules.
I went to lunch with this girl for the first time last week, and halfway through lunch, I thought, "Damn my rules." I've made worse decisions. And, hell, if it doesn't work out, she can always quit.
Now that I think of her as a potential prospect, my mind is racing. I'm so incredibly attracted to her, I worry that I'll crack under the pressure. If she touched my hand, I'd probably pull away and yell - "YAH!" If she hugged me, I'd laugh like that dude from Revenge of the Nerds - "HYUH-HYUH-HYUH." And, oh my gosh, if she kissed me, I'd probably pass out and barf all over myself, laying there on the ground twitching. She'd call 911, since I think she likes me, too.
I had spent the past 7 months without thinking of her as a prospect. I got to know her a little bit as a person. She has a fantastic personality. She's outgoing, friendly, motivated, and intelligent.
And, oh my gosh, she's got the most unbelievable body in the world.
In the past, her name had come up amongst my friends.
"She's a very pretty girl," one friend would say.
"She sure is, " I would say.
"Why don't you ask her out?" a third would say.
"I can't date someone I work with," I would say.
"Why don't you ask her out?" the third would say to the first. "You don't seem to have any rules about who you date."
Now, the conversation would go more like this...
"She's a very pretty girl," one friend would say.
"DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT HER, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I would say while throwing scalding hot coffee into his eyes to blind him.
Okay, that's just a joke. I'm not a jealous guy. I have references to validate that. S***n had actually once said, "You're the only guy I've ever dated that never gets jealous." I'm very proud of the fact that I'm not a jealous guy, since that means that I have every right to have a girl that doesn't get jealous.
So now I'm at the point where I know that I want her, but I've got to keep a cool head. I've got to carry on the same type of friendly, playful conversation we've had for the past 7 months, all the while listening to the caveman inside saying, "Tackle her!"

Jay, your cave man is clearly much more calm and cool than me. As I recall my sage advice was "Knock her up."
You're still at "Knock her down."
You haven't posted this but do you think she might be into you too? I'm just a nosey SOB
