Sorry it's only in french, but this video is perfect :rofl:



A canadian parody of soap opera like The Young and the Restless
 
I asked my co-worker out the other day and I got turned down :lol:. Need some advice on how to proceed. I know it's a long story but I tried to summarize it as much as possible down below. For the purpose of the story I'll call her "Jess".

Cliffs notes:
- We're both Nurses and 26 y.o.
- She started working on my unit a couple of months ago
- I see her once every two weeks or so, as I work Full-time and she only works night shifts (Part-Timer)
- I've yet to actually work a shift with her, but I've had lengthy chats with her during the change of shift/handoff report.... or as I would be finishing my shift and she'd be starting hers
- I'd always get her to laugh in those 15-20 mins, and we'd always engage in some witty-sarcastic banter
- One day, one of my Foreign co-workers offered to grab me some water and asked me "How do you like your water?"... and I responded sarcastically with "IDK...medium rare?". Jess (My Crush) overheard my joke and started laughing.
- The next day, she was giving me report on one of the patients and she cleverly referenced my "Medium Rare water" joke and giggled... I know it's a big no-no to ask a co-worker out in a professional setting but I thought I had a chance after she referenced my joke :lol:
- The next time I saw her, I noticed she had a tattoo of which looked like a heartbeat but she told me it was the Harry Potter castle and it was just the form of art... regardless I started teasing her on her tattoo and pulled up a picture of the castle on my phone and compared them :frown:.
- Ten minutes passed, and I was fixated on asking her out. I didn't want to be too upfront so I asked her, "Hey Jess, are the DMs open?"... then she responded with, "Not, for you" in a sassy voice :emoji_coffin:
>D
...... and I just walked away
- I told 5-7 of my female co-workers (around the same age as me and her) the story and they told me she's usually on the shy and reserved side... and they all advised me to try again.


Should I just take my losses and move on or should I give it another shot?
 
Thats funny to say are the DM’s open, even funnier of her to say not for you. I woudda taken it as a joke and then been like “so that means I cant take you out for dinner one time?”.

How did she reference your joke

Ya bro, that's the way I looked at it too cause she said it in a sassy-playful voice... almost as if she was trying to rub it in :lol:. I would of been cool if she lied about having a BF or just simply say "No"... but she had to add some salt and pepper on my wound. On my way back home I was laughing and crying on the inside because of how witty her response was. I had no rebuttal for her comment :rofl:

Take her off the pedestal a bit and when you see her again and its appropriate say “not for you” wittingly then ask her out. Or just ask her out not to hop in her dm’s you coward. :lol:


But I do get play in my dm’s and whenevr a girl comments on food I post or somewhere cool I immediately just say “we out?!”. High-ish success rate.

I'd say to do the Lloyd technique.

considering she is on the shy/reserved side, humor seems to get her more comfortable. I'd say I'd pull out the one in a million talk. she may or may not get the reference but it's worth the try. whether she says Yes or No, I would follow up that line on that picture above with, "great! I'll see you at 8AM at the mini-bar". kidding aside, "great, I'll bring you some bagel and coffee". on a more serious note, know what she likes to eat and drink (as much as possible, don't ask her. get some inside info). that's her cue that you are really interested in her. knowing what they really like. also, just before giving those gifts to her, say " that would be $5 dollars and 99 cents. "
