Search Results: dress for a date

1) Make a decided effort to communicate with female colleagues via email as opposed to face-to-face. Email provides documentation.

2) Do not come up from behind women in the office, either take a different route or make approach from the front.

3) Do not engage in any personal or dating/sexual conversations at all at work (even with another man) as it could possibly overheard by a woman. Conversations to which a woman is not a party can be seen as harassment or abusive and be a serious violation of HR policy.

4) If you want to ask a woman from your office on a date (not recommended), you may only ask her out ONE time.

5) Never have a meeting with a female colleague in your office without at least one other person being present. A better idea is to have a Skype or webex meeting even if she works in the same building.

6) Never comment about a woman's looks or fashion choices (i. e. "I like that dress" or "you look great today"). Never ask a woman if she is married/divorced/dating and never comment on the pictures she may have on her desk or as a screensaver.

7) Never meet a female colleague for "drinks" after hours. After hours with a female employee is still considered "work" by HR and any comments or behaviour can be reported to HR. Do no invite female colleagues to any non-work events (such as sporting events) as such invitations could be seen as "creep" ways to ask for a date.

8) If you must travel with a female colleague for work you should select different flights, and have hotel rooms on different floors, do not meet for meals or drinks unless they are part of an official function. Pay for your own rental car if necessary.

9) Do not offer unsolicited help to pregnant or disabled women in the office.

10) During office parties, do not consume any alcohol at all! Do not be alone with any women for even a moment. If you find yourself in a corner or room alone with a woman, quickly and politely excuse yourself and note the time on your watch.

I'm a straight single man but I don't really ever check girls out, flirt with them, or ask them out. I just always avoided love for most of my life. (21) however my first relationship happened at 18 and ended 2.5 years later. I didn't really want to ask her out (not because I didn't like her or want her but because as I was saying, I just don't like to be the one to approach women) I'm still single 6 months later while she dated someone less than 2 months after dumping me (family says she probably had this guy behind my back for awhile but I have no proof for that I give her the benefit of the doubt) I just don't know why but whenever I even consider it, I freeze up and quickly have to think of something else instead of continuing. My family thinks I'm weird and the other night my brother's friends and I were downstairs (its an apartment where they live downstairs and we live upstairs) one girl says you don't if I use the bathroom while you are in here and before I could respond the other friend said he's gay so it's fine. I replied with "No, I'm not gay. I'm straight" They were surprised for some reason. I don't dress like it or talk about men. I have only talked about females and how I want a girlfriend. So I had to explain to them my situation. Its just been on my mind nonstop that people think I'm gay or weird because I don't flirt or hit on girls and I don't make moves to ask them out and that im good friends with tons of girls but won't date them. I just don't like being rejected and I feel like it could and most likely will end with that result.(I've been working on building my self esteem up higher and confidence but rejection hurts the self esteem in a way that's hard to really avoid. You can't quite avoid being told "If you were the last man on earth, I'd be a lesbian" or "You're not my type" the last one sounds nice but when you hear it from 80% of the attempts you've tried in the past it makes you wonder if you are anyone's type at all)

Men of g@g, I am curious how you want your initial date with each woman to be, assuming it doesn't vary woman to woman and assuming you do date women. I prefer my women to be in skirts and dresses but can deal with pants. I used to be exclusively only wanting her in skirts and dresses until I met Nancy 8 or 9 months ago. Please explain why your answer is what it is and explain why you don't date women if it applies.

Please care to share you full story on dating glory!
