Ok, Tad. The not dating co-workers comment happened pretty earlyin your friendship, right?
And yea, you asked about going out on a weekend. Saying it the way Jack suggested is a whole different thing.
Maybe she is a little gun shy, too. Maybe she wants to be pursued some. Who knows?
The thing is, she enjoys your company. That's clear. Because I'm thinking I would not be buying some guy I worked with a gift while I was away if i wasnt interested on some level.
You are going to get rejected in life. You just are. Not only in a relationship kind of situation, but, in other ways.
Here's the thing...you wont die from it. I mean, not everyone is gonna like us. Just like we arent going to like everyone. Not everyone is going to agree with us or see things the way we do. Not everyone is going to want to hire us.
Oh well, that's life, Tad. We have to pick ourselves up and move forward.
What is the worst that could happen? She says no. You will still have a job, an apartment, your health, your sons. The world isnt going to stop turning.
Sometimes you just gotta go for it and say what the h#ll. Sometimes when you do, amazing things happen.
