I can't keep a straight face

Question - (18 March 2008) 5 Answers - (Newest, 19 March 2008)
A male New Zealand age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I work with a girl who I am really interested in, even though we've never had a proper conversation. So, I want to ask her to go for a drink with me and get to know her better. The problem is that I can't think about her, let alone look at her or talk to her without a great big fat grin bursting onto my face. I know it's childish but I cannot help it for the life of me. I want to ask her out properly but I need a straight face to do so, or she won't take me seriously. I wouldn't ask here if I wasn't desperate for help. I'm going mad, I can't stop thinking about her. I have this feeling that we'd really get on well together. I have no idea if she likes me or not because whenever she sees me she stares at the floor, I have no idea if she's smiling or she doesn't want to look at me because it's so obvious that I'm obsessed with her.

scythe agony aunti think she looks down/stares at the floor when you look at her because she likes you too. she might even be trying to hide her own cheesy grin. i know that i used to do this when a guy i like looked at me.

don't worry about smiling when you talk to her. if you try and keep a straight face you'll end up half-smiling half-sneering and that won't go down very well. just be true to yourself, ask her out and grin because you like her.

best of luck

tell us how it goes

she probably likes you alright; she's just embarrassed at your smiling at her all the time and doesn't know how to react--except to smile back, maybe?

Just ask her with a smile on your face, it won't hurt to do it because smiling is your way to get her attention and let her know you're interested and that's NOT a bad thing!

Go for it!

Yeah honey, I agree with 'Jmo'. It'll look really sweet, and girls like a guy that's upbeat and smiles. It will also give off the impression you like her, as you say, and this will reassure her and possibly make her more likely to want to develop something with you. Good luck okay :]
