Question - (9 April 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 April 2009)
A male United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hello. I was just wondering if there really is such a thing as the 'friendzone', after all, if you hang around long enough in the friendzone you've got a good chance of moving into the 'leg-over' zone, haven't you? Hmmmm - I really don't know. Along a similar vein, I've been having some fun at work flirting via e-mail with a very attractive brunette. We have exchanged dozens of e-mails in recent weeks, and she actually came up to me at the office party at Xmas and threatened to put rohypnol in my drink before grabbing me by the hand to whisk me onto the dance floor - whereupon another guy gave me his drink to hold so that he could dance with her! Like I said - very attractive!

The thing is that I asked another woman out at work in June last year and got rejected. I didn't really know her that well and the flirting was hurting i.e. really stressful. However, with this new woman who I've been exchanging e-mails with in recent weeks there is only good feelings, merriment and a slight under-current of 'something in the air' - or is it just me and my sweaty socks? Admittedly I am usually the one to start the dialogue but she always asks me many a question.

So, I was wondering whether - 10 months after the rejection - I should make a move on this new woman, or have I left this too late in which case she has already put me in the friend-zone. So difficult to tell! I spoke to her face to face again today. She seemed a little shy but very pleased to see me nonetheless. She knows about my failed approach on the other work woman, incidentally. Honesty is the best policy, surely. I don't know - decisions, decisions....
