[quote=BrokerRecruit]do you get a set for the dog as well?[/quote]

Nah, he gets drunk on the Mimosas served before we take off and is no good for the rest of the flight.

Good for him.  Doing that on long flights is great.  Smart dog.

"Sheesh.... Don't listen to these guys. They are giving you stupid advice.  

Just chat with her and find out what kind of movies, food, books she likes.  People love to talk about themselves.  Be friendly and share some stories and stuff about you too.  Women like to talk   and get to know a person before committing to much more of a relationship.  Invite her to lunch away from the office a few times. Sometimes girls want to pay half to show they are independent and can't be bought....so if she wants to pay let her after a few token tries to pay anyway. 

In a while you might ask her to a nice dinner, a movie or go to an amusement park.   If she has a favorite author or music you might buy her a book or CD as a small and not overly expensive gift.  

Just be yourself."

Oh Babs.... Thats silly talk.... Just invite her to the beach with you. You can pick up some beers and hang out there. There will be a bikini present so thats good news... You can watch the sunset together... And if all goes well, you're doing the monkey dance later on with her!!!

Ahhh.... its a beautiful thing this world of ours...

I asked her out today.  She just got a boyfriend.  She
thought I had a girlfriend, which I did at the beginning of Summer, but
not anymore.  I had told a coworker about my last girlfriend and
she must have misunderstood me or something, anyhow, she passed it on
to the girl.  She did say that if she hadn’t thought I had a
girlfriend already she would have loved to go out.  All and all
not a terrible experience, I did once ask a girl out only to find out
she was engaged…oh man, that was great.  It will be sad to see
this thread die, maybe you guys can keep it up for a while longer.

"She just got a boyfriend"

The key word in that sentence is 'just'... If you cant take it from there I would call it quits...

Jul 27, 2006 2:12 am

Pffft, according to my spies she didn’t have one last week.

Then she thinks you are ugly. Or your breath smells. Throw her prospect card in the trash and move on.

Several people  have more than one broker… Ask her if she would
consider taking on an additional client…You know portfolio
review,  diversification, whatever. See if you an still make the
trade.<!–

Was thinking the same thing.  Take Jim’s approach from The Office.  Be the loose guy who’s fun - unlike her demanding, psychotic boyfriend at home that won’t commit.  Then kiss her at an office function and see what happens.

The best response to that is "That's okay, I'm not the jealous type."

Your spies??? You mean you've been peepin her out for longer than a week -- through use of spies?

C'mon Machine, which head are you thinkin with? (channeling Mr. Devoted and his buddies) Reach down, grab a coupla short ones - and ask her how serious it is.

Can't speak for all girls, but that "Me Tarzan, You Jane" stuff works.

You should quit the business now, you are obviously not a closer

Oh come on now.  I don't use coworkers to spy, I just asked them to tell me what they knew.  If I was that lame I wouldn't have asked her out, I would have asked her to "hang out sometime" like a fifteen year old would do.
