How do I get him to?

[Mark2010]

Well I prayed about it , and went for it! After services when he talked to me and asked how my week had been, I said "Hey do you want to grab a coffee or something in a bit, or sometime later?". He said yes, thank the Lord! We hit it off very well, and will be good friends if nothing else. And I have a date tonight!
He said if I wouldn't have asked him, he never would have asked, because he thought I would've said no. So that could've gone on for an eternity, with the looks and all. Makes for a distracting service!
I now have a new respect for what men have to go through. I will also put myself out there a little more also. I think asking for coffee dates are really the best to start with, men and women seem to feel more comfy with them. As both parties can leave in 30 mins or so if needed. Just my thought though..
The Lord has enabled me to do so much this year . Happy New Year everyone!

Congratulations. Good on you for being willing to take the initiative.

Whether you're a guy or gal, it can be hard to take the initiative. When you get turned down, it can be embarrassing and also eats at your self-esteem.

Hope things work out well for both of you. Keep us posted.

zsepthenne- Go you!!! You are so brave. I am totally impressed and happy for you!!! Have a great time.

Mark- you flirt, you. Thanks for the uplift.

flnativegrl- I love all shades of blue. Come spring I'm getting chickens that lay blue and green eggs. I can have green eggs and ham!!

Happy New Year's, y'all!

Me, a flirt? Nah!!

A chicken that lays blue and green eggs?!?!

I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. I do not like them, Sam I Am. I will not eat them in the rain, I will not eat them on a train.

I will not eat them in a box, I will not eat them with a fox.

I do not like Green Eggs and Ham; I do not like them, Sam I Am.

(Oh, for the record..... I can recite Bible verses and other stuff, too.

HA! I love that book. I actually have a tape somewhere of a group called Moxy Fruvais doing the Green Eggs and Ham rap. It's hysterical!

Yes, there are indeed chickens that lay green eggs (but no ham ). The mutt version of the chicken is called an Easter Egger and it lays all shades from pink to green. The purebred is an Auraucana. It lays eggs with shells ranging from green to blue. How fun is that! So, if it ever warms up around here, the USPS will be delivering a box of chicks to Farmer Anles! (Also funny, that the post office will deliver a box of chickens!) HeHeHe..

Um, what about Green Eggs and Chicken for a lunch date?

Well I am in a different situation my Boyfriend lives in another province than me ][5000 miles away] but we make it work we email, send letters snail mail and talk on the phone we have never met face to face yet.

 

[Anles]

Nah... I never date chickens.

That's how I think Mr. McSlow felt about me. 6 months and no date without the kids and sometimes a whole week without a call! And when I was no longer available he suddenly has regrets?

For some reason, we often want what we've thrown away. I have no explanation for that.

 

[jcj3803]

I will not eat them in a box, I will not eat them with a fox.

But if that fox is Courtney Cox, I'd be willing to eat my socks.

 

[ido]

Nah... I never date chickens.

When *did* this thread go Dr. Seuss?
Was the OP all a ruse?
Did *some*one want to do a rhyme?
Was it, was it finally time?

Ask me out?! I know I'm probably too old to even ask this, but apparently not much changes from high school. He goes to my church and I catch him looking at me, and we have spoken a few times. There's a cafe next door. Help!

Be bold ... ask him .... life is too short to play all these shy games we were told about all out life.

Good for you ... I see you asked ...
