tall guys fall harder. I've proved that few times at PE classes when we had wrestling.
And I've proved that short guys fall easier.
They're not as good at basketball either.
Do you think that tomorrow at work I should ask if I can sit with her in the lunch room? Problem is, I'd need conversation topics for like half an hour to an hour.

That seems a safe idea, especially if she has nothing else to do... it's just the conversation part that sucks. Avoid personal questions, and ask things like 'are you enjoying your new job so far??'. Things that can allow her to talk for ages, and you to listen. It's foolproof if you don't like talking much, and you'll get to know her a bit, if you're lucky. Eventually she'll say: 'Enough about me! Tell me about yourself...' Someone else will have to answer that one... Good luck...
Good luck...

But I already asked those questions!
What counts as a personal question? I did ask her about the sport she mentioned playing, and then she said how cold it was going to be when she played that night, so next day I asked her if she froze, and she responded really quickly- I think she said "My car wouldn't start, and when we got there we never played". Almost didn't understand her. I think that's as personal a question as I'v asked, unless you count asking her if/where she worked before coming here!She also told me how boring lunch breaks were, because there's nothing to do, is this a hint that I'm not talking enough or she finds me boring and shouldn't talk at all?
Edit: Should I just start a thread titled "Woman Woes"?

That seems like a good time to ask her if she'd like to go to lunch with you. Just say you're tired of sitting at work on lunch break because it's so boring and that you're thinking about going somewhere to eat, ask if she'd like to come too.

That's a good idea, but I'd have to ask her if she wanted to go the following day, so she doesn't bring any of her own food. Otherwise we essentially do have lunch together, every day, and I keep straining my mind for new things to talk about while we're there- nothing, nada, zilch.
Wait a second.💡 No, wait, I don't think she wants to hear about my car. Oh, see this is the problem, it's not that she's good looking that I have problems, I'd have the same problems with any girl, I don't know what to do when I'm around them, which means I just have to sit there and think about what a loner I'll be for the rest of my life.

If she does have lunch with everyday I wouldn't worry about subjects to have to come up with, you will soon enough start acting natural and just shoot the breeze without worrying about it.
She being bored at lunch is a perfect oppertunity.
All the girls I see during work everyday (quite a lot) I get along with very well but they are only very brief encounters, never enough time.

Shoot the breeze? But there's nothing to shoot it with. I feel happy to talk to her, if only I had something to talk about. I even said that to her (mistake?), when she said how boring lunches were, I told her I'd talk with her more but I'd ran out of things to talk about. (In a joking manner of course). Maybe if I ask her out to lunch, we'll see what happens. I'll just say, "Tommorow's Friday, you want to go to Hungry Jacks down the road for lunch?", but maybe not so blunt if I can help it. Then I'd have to offer to drive, then I could ask her if she likes my car!
Edit: OK, that's the plan, I think I can do this. Wish me luck! (I'm going to need it
)

Sounds like a perfectly decent plan to me. Good luck 👍

That's not blunt - that's perfect. The more of a big thing you make out of it to yourself, the more of a big thing she'll notice you're making out of it. Just ask her out to lunch without trying too hard to set the groundwork and subtly steer the conversation there and psych yourself up. Stop by her desk, or ask her at lunch today, if she wants to.
At the restaurant, pay the whole check, but if she wants to pay for herself, ask her to buy next time. If she insists, let her pay for herself.

Don't make it sound like you are asking her on a date and don't treat it like it is one. Tell her you are planning on going to HJs (or where ever) for lunch for something different and does she wanna come. If she says she hasn't money for take away then offer to pay this time and she can shout you another time. At least going out to lunch will fill some otherwise empty conversation time. The conversation there and back can be filled with whatever is going on around you same as when you are at HJs, there's bound to be something going on there that will make for small talk.
You'll find if you just try to be friends with her rather than try to be a boyfriend that it will be easier to get to know her. Start being her work buddy, then maybe from there you can progress to hanging out after work and from there a relationship may be able to develop.

Not entrely sure if I'm going to be confessing something of a particular nature here, so bear with me. It's kind of a long story, but I think I migt have done something treacharous to one of my closest friends.
I have this friend who lived in my college for three weeks befoe she was forced to move away. She didn't have citizenship - she's from Moldova, near the Ukraine - and thus couldn't defer her university fee payments. Unable to pay them up-front she moved away with the intention of coming back next year.
Anyway, we clicked pretty well, and I don't deny that I started to develop some kind of feelings for her. I've always been one to keep people at arm's length, but this friend somehow got close without even trying. Nothing happened, though, and I'm sure she deserves someone a hell of a lot better than me.
Somehow she found this out; I don't know who told her, or how they found that out. There are no secrets in a resdential college, but I've always been careful with what I tell and to whom, especially after some nasty trouble in my first year. The knowledge didn't bother her in the slightest, and I'm still one of the few people she's kept in contact with.
A few months ago, she broke the news to me that she was "kind of" seeing someone, a local musician, but it quickly became apparent that it was a bad relationship. He was just out of school and was clearly just after some sex and was only really dating her because she's got this whole exotic quality going on (which, while certainly attractive, wasn't the reason I was drawn to her). He expected his best friends to look after her when they all went out and he'd go off and do his own thing, and he plainly didn't trust her even around them. After one particularly eventful party, my friend found that she was coming under enormous - but subtle - pressure to put out; one of the guy's friends put it as "never seeing a guy and a girl dance that much without sleeping together".
It was plain she wasn't happy with the relationship and where it was going, but she decided to give him one last chance, a kind of two-week probationary period, and she told me as much. I told her it wasn't a wise move; the worst-case scenario was that her bofriend might force himself onto her. I advised her to dump him before the day was out, because it was going to the kind of place no-one wants to visit.
My problem was this: I can't be sure if this was an on-going thing or just an isolated incident, and thus I might not have told her the right thing to do. She's a bit stubborn - she insisted on keeping her departure from college quiet so as not to trouble her friends - and this was the only time she'd approached me about it, though she had dropped hints from time to time that it wasn't in good shape.
So this is my cnfession for the thread: I might have advised someone to break up with their boyfriend because I had something of an interest in her, too. I never met the kid, but by the sounds of things and his Facebook image, he's an absolute creep. I'm 90% certain I did the right thing, but I can't help this nagging feeling that I might not have had her best interests at heart.
It wouldn't have mattered either way; she was forced to move again, and would not doubt have ended things because she's no living a long way away (but still intends to return to university next year). But that's the crux of the matter: because if nothing I said or did made any difference in what would have happened, if nothing I did mattered, then the only thing that mattered was what I did.

On the drinking and weed. I don't do it a lot, but on occasion I do. Like drinking is about once every 2 months and weed even less.
I also want to admit that on the road I am a pissed of son on a b***h. I go out of my way to honk and curse at someone or flick them the bird if they cut me off or did somethng else stupid. I also enjoy cutting people off who are jerks.... I know it doesnt solve anything but its damn fun.... [puts on flame suit]

A wee bit taller than Richard? So you're still pretty short.💡
Ha...

Yes, only I did in hockey.
And I've proved that short guys fall easier.
I beg to differ... I've played people in hockey that were wayyyyyyy taller and wayyyyyyyyy heavier (I'm only 155 lbs.). They can't handle their balance and weight as well as I can.
Well, basketball is _ _ _ anyway.

I did my best to keep ours clean. Slowly but surely, I noticed that nobody really cares, and that my only reward for being pretty much the best employee (of my age-group - I can't compete with the full-timers) was a bit of extra pain in my back. Then I stopped bothering and switched jobs.
