and in the interim


Trying to decide to and/or get up the courage to ask out somebody...in the workplace.
She's a medical assistant in the neighboring department, 29. Very perky, petite, frankly kind of bug-eyed but cute in an unusual way. Seems younger than her age, which could be good or bad. Intellectually perhaps not a match (but I don't know that for sure). Very girly, but more Suicide Girl than Barbie.
But she's fun, has a great body and is always coming into my office to shoot the shit and joke around. I think she's single, or at least she hasn't taken the opportunity to declare any boyfriends (and I've tried to give her chances to talk about things like that).
This could of course cause a shit/eat conflict, which I'm leery of. Oh, and I haven't actually asked somebody out on an honest-to-god date since - and this is not hyperbole - 1989, when I took a girl from Lombard to see Rain Man. I don't count asking people to dances, nor do I count the women I wound up with through natural progression or whatever. I'm talking about "Would you like to do something with me Saturday night? Maybe dinner, a movie?"
The prospect terrifies me.
But this girl is cute, and fun. And I could use some of that.
