Hyperdog,

what you're suffering from is not lack of confidence of or a deep level of insecurity.

what you're suffering from is what they call 'One-itus'
.


1. Oneitis

Often confused with love, this is the feeling that a particular woman is actually special. This is just an illusion; she is the same as the other three or so billion. "Go fuck ten other women" is the most commonly prescribed treatment for this "disease" (hence the "itis"), as it tends to show quite quickly how very alike people are.

In other words, get over yourself and your obsession with that girl, because it's just an illusion. And when you get rejected, don't be depressed. Because there's really not much to worry about.
Dude, you definitely have oneitis for that girl. You've been talking about her nonstop for the past week. Don't you realize she's nothing special, and that you are just being fooled? Snap out of it so you won't be so depressed when she rejects you!

2. Oneitis

A social disease that affects millions of people - both male and female - that cockblocks a man or a woman from seducing or romancing a member of the opposite sex. Oneitis, is that social malady that results in a feeling that this person is totally special and unique and therefore one must not mess up anything with them. These confused "messed up" feelings then often mess up the chances of a person seducing their romantic victim brcause after all thier emotionjs tell them that they cannot be too careful, gentle, and that they cannot "act too foolish." OFten, Oneitis also confuses a person by making them worry too much about what other people will think of them or worse what thier romantic victim will think of them, and thus that simply cannot do what is necessary to seduce thier romantic prey.

Normally, a person does not get over oneitis until they are fairly sexually and romantically experienced with several partners - that is because at that point a person may realize they are not that different from each other, the romantic victims, and that each of them was not special and unique, and if one is to seduce their romantic victims and have their romantic victim in thier hands they must not develop oneitis. In other words, oneitis is often overcome with experience and practice - that is what a seducer must accomplish if they are to truly be a master of their craft.

Some helpful advice for getting over oneitis during a seduction is never stop flirting with other girls.

3. Oneitis

The dreaded "One-Itis," otherwise known as the ailment of liking that "One Special Girl" and wanting her more than any other woman on earth. A want so intense, that it's actually painful.
A feeling of intense wanting and need for a particular woman and only this woman.


http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oneitis


Remember when i told you that you have to make a move, read the signals which you should interpret as either a green light, yellow light or red light - and depending on what light you get - green light - you make your move asap and ask her out (because a relationship is 99% based on chemistry, physical attraction, appearances) and there's very little need for too much personality, charm, funny, witty banter (guys can say the dumbest things and still get the girl...) simply because she finds you good looking enough to get to know (personality always comes later, your looks are what get your foot in the door) is why you need to just make your move and ask her out in the simplest fashion necessary. Just ask her if she wants to see the art museum, whatever, doesn't have to be exceedingly creative....IF YOU GET A GREEN LIGHT.

and ONE-ITUS, in this case, is IF YOU GET A RED LIGHT. This is where guys generally fall into the category of stalkers and creepy. When they don't MOVE ON. If a girl gives you a RED LIGHT and you know she's not interested, then you MOVE ON to the next girl. This keeps you from falling into the category of becoming stalkerish and/or creepy. Cause she gave you the RED LIGHT and you're still thinking of sending her messages via facebook, leaving her notes in her work mailbox, etc etc.

YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO TEST FOR SOME SLIGHT SIGN THAT SHE IS INTERESTED IN YOU AND YOU MAKE YOUR MOVE / ASK HER OUT. If she says No thanks. YOU MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GIRL. DO NOT OBSESS ABOUT IT OR HER. DO NOT THINK ABOUT TRYING AGAIN. DO NOT THINK ABOUT LEAVING HER NOTES. NO MEANS IM NOT INTERESTED.

If you do MOVE ON, you might be surprised. She might come up to you one day out of the blue and say, Hey, I noticed you haven't been around and was wondering if you were avoiding me?

THAT, MY GOOD SIR, IS A GREEN LIGHT to ask her out. RIGHT ON THE SPOT.

Otherwise, if you get a red light or the signal that she is not interested. YOU MOVE THE FUC.K ON.


There are about a dozen sources on the internet that explain the concept of oneitus. You are putting way too much pressure on yourself on this ONE WOMAN. It's like she's the only girl in the entire planet. She isn't the only girl. Just ask her out and if she says no, then MOVE ON to the next girl.

Thanks. This is what makes this lounge so great. I could have blown it all away just now.
Does the fact that EVERYTHING you have suggested and sought advice on makes the whole forum shout "Fuck, NO!!!!!!" concern you at all? Are you getting the real lesson here? You won't be able to come get advice for every interaction with her, Cyrano.

Personally, I don't think you're ready to date women. I think you have serious personality issues to address first.

Why are you posting on an escort message board anyway, when you don't appear to hobby and all your threads are about non-hobby activity? It seems you would get better advice or whatever you're looking for from a more closely related subject-matter forum.

Ok, Monday is just around the corner now and I want to make sure I ask her out properly. I don't want to fuck up by asking in the wrong way. It may sound so simple, but I've never asked out a colleague before. I'm thinking that the standard "Would you like to go out sometime?" may not fit well in this workplace scenario, so I was thinking:

"Since we are in different departments and different floors as well, I don't get the chance to talk to you very often or very much whenever I do. I would like to have a better chance to talk to you more than is possible now. So I was wondering, could we get together outside of work sometime?"

How does that sound? Any suggestions on a better way of phrasing it?

40 days later and you still haven't asked her out?
I could have a had a whole relationship by now.
Including the breakup.
And the Workplace Sexual Harassment suit.

Avoid phrases which frame a negative response in her mind. "I was wondering..." and that entire disclaimer at the beginning erodes any chance you may have had. Also, you should not offer a Yes/No option. I would suggest asking in a direct, with a positive answer assumed. You don;t ask you buddies if they would like to maybe come have a beer sometime, please? You just say "dude, let's go grab a beer on Friday." So, just ask where she wants to go on Friday night, because you know a good restaurant you've been looking forward to trying.

Just ask her for gods sake. Don't worry about the phrasing. If she likes you, she will say yes. If she thinks you are creepy, then she'll probably say no. Its normal to be a little bit nervous about this if you haven't had much experience.

Do you mind of I use some of this for a script I am writing for Big Bang. I'm thinking of introducing a love interest for Sheldon. Mind you, I'll have to tone down the nerd factor a bit to make it believable.

Ok, let's be more assertive:

"Remember I told you that I used to play classical piano? Well, the person I played the most was Frederic Chopin. His original music scores and piano are in the ROM right now. I would be interested in going there and I would happy if you would go with me."

Better? Only if she hesitates or looks confused will I give the explanation about being in different departments and not being able to talk with her very often.
 
I just spent 20 minutes reading this thread... And I hereby pronounce this non-relationship doomed from the start. Geezuz man, just go up and ask her she wants to grab a coffee/drink/cock after work. If she says yes, great. If she says no, move on. Like someone else said, it ain't like there's only one woman in the world!

A fresh perspective is always appreciated and you just said what most have already or are thinking.

There is nothing sadder than an adult with a crush.

hyperdog I wish you well in overcoming your shyness or lack of confidence. Stepping away from this particular lady, I would suggest that you should start asking out a whole bunch of different women. Seriously. One day you will meet the perfect woman for you, and if you don't have a wide variety of experience with a wide variety of women, you might blow the opportunity of a lifetime. So, practice practice practice. Swallow your pride, overcome your fear, and start dating. Just do it - its easy!!

..........................................................................................
Even as an ardent classical music lover I am rather skeptical that being able to play
Chopin would impress more than a minority of ladies. Unless she happens
to be into piano playing the is safe bet she won't enjoy listening to Chopin's
piano works.

Nonetheless I've noticed that the fairer sex in general are more prone
to take a liking to catchy romantic music. In one incident from many years ago
while the stereo in my office was playing the always charming music of
Georges Delerue from a Jean-Paul Belmondo movie a gal from the other office who
normally just walked by me popped in asking what music it was. Over years
I found out that the easiest gift to prepare for the girlfriends and future wives of my
close friends were just cassette dubs of selection of romantic music from
my soundtrack collection which they all fell in love upon first listening. So odds
are majority of young fun-loving chicks would dig John Barry but found Chopin's
etudes boring stuff. If I were a classical pianist I would not have to play any of
the classical composers to lure women into my bed. I would rather
play Nino Rota, Henry Mancini, Francis Lai......

Gee, almost a week and no word from hyperdog. I wonder what happened to him. Did he asked her out and she turned out to be an axe murderer? Or he got nervous when asking her out and choked on a pretzel? Seriously though...hyperdog, I do wish you success, even if I tease you about your insecurity.

Yes, I did ask her out on Monday. Serves me right for going after a 6 foot tall woman with short hair: it turns out that she is lesbian.

Did she tell you she was a lesbian or is that an assumption?

I hope you ask someone else out anyway, just to improve your social skills in this regard.
