how do you start again

12 Oct 2010

after 22 plus years of marriage I became a widower
there is a woman I want to talk to date( or how ever you say it)
She does not wear any rings so,maybe she's single.
I get around her and it's like my mouth stops working.
so how do I ask? help

you say "Hi, I want to introduce myself: I'm Gary, how are you?"

If she one-words you, pay her a compliment, but not something creepy, just normal things like "I really like your dress, you look really great" or whatever. Then you ask if she'd like to go grab coffee with you sometime; unless you're feeling bold, then you can ask her to dinner, but it doesn't seem like you roll that way.

Anyway, that's my $.02. Don't stress, just greet her like anybody else- the good news is, you don't have to worry about getting your attraction to come across until you know her a little bit and know a little bit about her.

Even though you've asked the gals, I'm going to chime in anyway. The advice above is spot on. Ask any longtime couple how they met and almost every one of them started with, "Hi, my name is. . . " You don't need fancy pick-up lines to meet someone.

It sounds like more than anything that you're making this into a HUGE deal in your mind. Sure, all of us get nervous, but you may be placing a lot of importance on not messing this up. Just relax, take a deep breath, and just say hi. You've done it a million times in your life, this one is no different. It's only different in your mind. I'm sure that she's stumbled for words in her life also. We all have.

Since you're obviously not in high school anymore, I doubt that she's going to fault you, or make fun of you, if you don't say everything 100% perfectly like a radio announcer. smile

She's a human being, you're a human being. You have something in common. So go talk to her already. No biggie. :)

You went to her work? Not like stalking or anything. Right? She's a waitress or checkout girl or something public? It would seem a little strange to go into a doctors office or insurance office to meet her.
