Not that good, honestly. Been to court twice over some bullshit charge that they gave me, living in my car yet again, and having to borrow money from family. Not good, nigga.

So I'm torn about this girl at work.

Most of the advice I got leans toward a cynical worldview where I just have to ask her out, deal with a no and move to the next one like it's a numbers game or something.

But it's not like that. It's a crush unlike any other. I haven't felt anything like this since high school. All the girls I've come across until now, I would think of them as pretty, prettier, great-looking but never considered going out of my way to chase them. But this is different. And I kept wondering myself why. What's so special about this girl? There wasn't anything overtly sexual that struck when I met her. I had to pick something from front desk and she was fumbling around trying to find it. Instead of being annoyed, I was mesmerized by her clumsiness, I know it doesn't make any sense. And there's more, her name. In high school, I had a crush whom I've never dared to ask out or tell her I like her. All those years I kept waiting for the perfect moment, but that moment never came. And now, after almost 20 years, guess what. The girl I like has the same name (first name, I mean) as my high school crush. So I keep thinking, what if it's fate ? What if this is a second chance and fate's way of telling me "don't screw up this time". What relevance has all this talk about signals, moving on when it's about fate ?

So I'm trying to approach this girl at work and it just hit me out of a sudden: a poem!!!!


Yes! Girls love these. So if i write the poem on a note and give it to her saying like hey I'm a writer as a hobby and you inspired this poem, I'll have some plausible deniability in case things go bad

So the poem has to be short so like this:

Your chestnut hair shines through the place
Foretelling your beautiful face
Place is brighter when you're in
And tasks easier to begin

Think she'll like it??

Sup, /adv/, so I decided last week to approach this girl at work, but it didn't go exactly as planned

My original plan was to go by her desk every day and say hello in a way that's not suspicious but rather friendly so that she'd remember me and build some rapport.

But the first day, she wasn't at her desk, was checking her phone outside, second day there were couple people shuffling on the floor, my hello got drowned out in the noise, third day (today) I got a little nervous so I barely whispered instead of saying it normally, she didn't even notice.

I'm peeved af that it's falling apart from the very beginning. She's frontdesk and I can't go too many times by her desk due to work

But, but, for my plan to work, I would need to move closer to her desk when passing by. Is there a way to do this like every day without looking suspicious?

Sup, /adv/, so finally decided to make a move on the frontdesk girl so hear me out and tell me if it's ok

For those of you who advise against work relationships, I've got a 9-6 with 2 hours commute, i barely have time in the morning for breakfast and when i get home for dinner, let alone meet females, so beat it

So there's a lot people walking by her desk and most never say hello, so if i go everyday by her desk and say "hello" not too loud but a bit more affectional, maybe it's a starting point, she'll remember me and build some rapport.

Tough part is how do i do once i decide to move past hello, or when do i move past hello.
