Asking a woman out at her workplace: creepy or cute?
TL;DR: A girl working at a retail store, who was helping my dad, showed body language signs of interest in me, but I didn't say anything to her. She was attractive, but I'm shy and my dad was there, which would have made it feel awkward to say anything to her. Should I go back some time and talk to her?
Context: I'm 22. I'm working on a boat with my dad, and we ran to the store to get some stuff for the boat.
He asked a young lady who worked there for some help. As he was talking to her, she showed some body language that I only ever see when a girl is hitting on me or interested in me.... When she left to go check if they had a stock of something, my dad said something about it. She ran back and forth a couple times, but I never said anything at all to her. It felt awkward having my dad there with me and I've never flirted with a girl in front of either of my parents.
I kind of wanting to go back there, but a lot of women seem to hate being hit on at work. On the other hand, she was flipping her hair and licking her lips and doing things that gave me the impression that she found me attractive. Would it be creepy/weird if I went back just to get her number, considering I didn't say a single word to her the first time I was around her, and she's at her workplace?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating6 years agoAsking a woman out at her workplace?
I'm a bit of a shy guy, 22 years old, just to get that out of the way. So, I went to a TJ Maxx earlier today with my dad to grab some stuff for a boat we've been working on. He asked a woman (who looked my age) for some help. As she was talking to us she showed a lot of flirtatious body language ... like flipping her hair and licking her lips, to the point it would be impossible not to notice. And no, I'm not trying to be conceited or narcissistic. Anyway, when my dad left he said something about it. She ran off and came back a couple of times to help us, but I didn't say anything to her. She was seemed busy and we were busy. The whole thing happened quick and then we left the store. I thought she was really attractive, but, I didn't say anything to her, as my dad was there and I always feel awkward flirting with a parent around. I'm shy enough as it is.
I kind of want to go back there sometime and see if she's there just so I can ask for her number really quick. I wouldn't be too let down if she turned me down, but I keep thinking about it and it's turned into one of those what if scenarios. Would it be awkward if I didn't say anything to her the first time I saw her and then came back to the store and flirted with her? I don't want to come across as creepy or anything ... I mean, I have my reasons: we were busy and in a hurry and my dad was there.
TL;DR: Woman at store seemed to like me but I didn't say anything to her. Considering going back to say something to her.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating6 years agoBest route towards Army Special Forces?
I'm 22 and interested in the army special forces. I went to a recruiter and got a 70 on a pre-ASVAB, but I haven't had a math class in 6 years, so I asked for study material before taking the ASVAB. He talked a lot about 18x. I told him I'd rather get my foot in the door as 11b or 11c and work my way towards SF. He then mentioned 11x option 40 (I'm not interested in a ranger battalion by the way).
The problem is, I'm not very fit. I just got back into being active. I'm running 25 miles a week and doing calisthenics, but to get in the shape I want, I'd need to do something like SealFit for at least 12 months, and I'd rather be serving my country in the army than doing retail or waiting tables while working towards my physical goals. My recruiter seems more intent on me doing 18x through the delayed entree program. This would mean CrossFit and PT tests until my ship date (this would be a smaller time frame, so I'd be less fit when going to SFAS). I talked to a friend who was in the army (he also has an friend who is SF) and he said to just shoot for 18x now and if anything happens I can just go for it again later (is this true?).
So my question is: which path towards SF is best: 18x or enlisting in regular infantry? I'm very patient, whichever path is best is the one I want to take.
Also: Please don't comment if you're a cynic and all you have to say is that I won't make it. I'd rather shoot for the stars and hit a stump than shoot for a stump and hit nothing.
1 AnswerMilitary6 years agoCan a person survive without drinking anything?
If they get 100% of their water through fruit/vegetables? I know this sounds like a silly question but there are many desert animals that do this. I'm wondering if a human can pull it off and be healthy. I read somewhere on the internet that a cucumber can be more hydrating than a glass of water but there's not much on the web about this subject.

6 AnswersSingles & Dating7 years agoShould I get over the past?
My first serious girlfriend (sex, falling deeply in love, moving in) and I went through a long and rough patch in our relationship a while ago that I’m having a hard time getting over. Red flags and signs say she cheated on me (before we lived together) with an ex fwb who slept over at her place multiple times. She swears she never cheated and that he stayed the night cause he's a drunk and needed a place to crash.
Her attitude in our relationship has changed from not giving me the time of day to crying at the idea of us not having a future together, yet my feelings about our relationship have admittedly changed because of what happened. She recently moved to another state, but I opted to stay as I’m on the fence about our relationship. I’m faced with the decision of moving out there soon or staying here and moving on, being single, etc. What should I do?
