You're spot on! Yes, she is a bit older...way older.

I should clarify that my little crush has turned into a delusion wherein I think she too may feel the same way for me! Probably not so....

ah now frosty don't underestimate yourself..

Glad you said that. The 'ol Mr Johnson is apt to fill our brains with an ethereal fantasy where we imagine the object of our lust feels the same way.

Just approach it casually,put in a few well-timed self deprecating jokes about your manhood{women eat it up}and always complement her regarding her dress and looks whenever business brings you in her proximity,but in a natural,offhand manner. Pay close heed to her verbal responses and body language clues,damn,I should give a seminar on this stuff.........best of luck!

Ain' it da troof?

As I get older I become more hard of hearing.

So to speak.

B

Which begs the anthropological query........Why don't humans have earlids???

because we drank the water...

what are these clues, Carleton? I'm all ears! I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me, but I sense a weird vibe (maybe?) from her. She seems almost girlish and socially awkward when she talks to me, as when a nerd, such as myself, would feel when talking to a hot chick. Now, keep in mind that she is second in the hierarchy and her position requires a lot of meetings and social interaction. She's very nice, but that just could be her demeanor. One time I was walking upstairs and she was coming down, and we happened to meet and we both stopped for a quick chit chat in such a confined space...'twas a bit weird (in a good way). Here's another thing, one time I was wearing a certain color of clothing, next day or two she was wearing those colors too! Coincidence? This has happened a few times, but then it's just wishful thinking on my part--not like she's copying me or saying that I color-coordinate well.

On a side note, I'm aware of her title. She's very professional, and I doubt this will go anywhere. There's also the ethics involved and that "don't eat where you crap" saying, so I don't think either of us has the guts to do anything drastic. Just a crush and nothing more, I suppose. Her being nice just ads to my delusions though! Yeah, she's also way older, and some may even be surprised if I were to make a guess. *sigh* I'll go back to reading some medieval courtly love literature.

Ahhhh,just be yourself,try to project self-confidence leavened with a little self-deprecation and always give her a well-aimed compliment as I stated before,but casually...don't let her sense any desperate longing,just throw out the bait and see if it hooks.
Scenario 1..
You come in looking haggard and worn,not too talkative,she notices and asks if you're allright.
You respond that you went on your first date in six months and it was an unmitigated disaster and fill in some brief but creative details that hold you responsible for the mishap,worked for me once.

Once a tenuous bond of verbal intimacy has been established she will hopefully think of you as a confidant,perhaps more.

Just remember,most single or divorced older women have been badly burned and it takes patience and kindness{not weakness}to gain their trust.
I'm by no means suggesting you should act like a feelgood wimp,just be yourself,be decisive when necessary{which is better learned by example than precept}and above all be a good listener.

Carleton- You should start a "Carleton's Corner" advice thread from a wise sage on the natures of love...

Ah you never know. Feel her out (not up - not yet anyway), be nice to her, do little things for her like polishing her aluminum walker, keeping inventory of her stockpile of prunes, etc. Tell her that varicose veins drive you wild...

Paul, you silver-tongued devil, you! You must just drive the women wild . .
