Off on a NYE date. Separated (not divorced) nurse, 41. Collecting her from home for dinner so no prizes for guessing where I’ll end up.
Based on recent form alone with a w
k sock is the 8/13 but I’m going to turn up the Alpha.
Good work. Assuming it's a first date she's brave letting you pick her up. Potential axe murderer and all that. I'd say she's DTF!Based on recent form alone with a w
k sock is the 8/13 but I’m going to turn up the Alpha.Incidentally I wonder what percentage of female internet dating users either work in care (nhs, care homes etc) or are teachers. The sites seem awash with them.
I've noticed that there is a disproportionate number of care and teaching types on a few sites.
After my long term ex I will avoid teachers like the plague, they all have life plans and their work takes over for 40 weeks. Then the other 12 weeks while you mainly have a proper job they'll sulk or piss money away shopping. Same applies if your job requires weekend work.
Happy New Year chaps.

On the same theme why not use a highlighter pen and when you hand her the coin ask her her - what’s that that’s been highlighted? And if you’ve been accurate and clever enough her reply should be ‘the date’. So you say OK when and where can I pick you up?
Excellent idea! 
I just have to meet her at a time when she's away from work. I met her once at the petrol station at about 6am. I was doing the bread run, she was late for work. I just barely touched her arm at the counter and said 'Hello' asked her 'How are you doing?' 'I'm late for work' she said and off she ran. Am I imagining her looking at me from inside her car as I was leaving the building?
Anyway the new year is nearly here, maybe I'll MTFU a bit when all the retail chaos is over. I think I can talk to one of the lads that works there with her, hopefully quietly and discretely enough to get some inside information with out spooking anyone.
At the moment I'm just trying to put aside that ache that you get in your stomach when someone has looked at you and smiled at you that way.
I don't trust my own judgement at the moment, and I'm not even sure I want any involvement with a woman at the moment either.
But God's breath my stomach is churning over this girl.
(Promise to post cuddle pics if it ever happens.)
ETA:
Sorry, realised this is the 'dating' thread, not the 'infatuated' or 'potentially stalker' thread, I'll pop back when I have some news.

it is because those are jobs where women greatly outnumber men?After my long term ex I will avoid teachers like the plague, they all have life plans and their work takes over for 40 weeks.

Therefore there are less "options" for those women at work.
I found the same when I was online dating - teachers, nurses and media types.
it was never women that worked in financial services, management consultants, scientists, academics

Stop over-thinking. Stop strategising.
No plan ever survived contact with the enemy. She has already decided what she will say if you ask her. All that’s left to do is ask her.
JFDI.
Loving some of the funny comments.
I banked at Lloyd’s whilst she worked in Barclays. I was absolutely stting myself walking in and standing in the queue and having to let someone go ahead of me so I could get the right cashier. She and her cashier colleagues knew there was something afoot judging by the whispers and glances. I must have been bright red before I got to the counter. Glad I did it in the end.
And on a technical front most high st banks don’t have shutters or more correctly rising screens, working as a security surveyor I’d have seen them pretty early on.
Cmon screw loose go for it the worst will be she will say no, the best? This might change your life.

In hindsight probably very likely, but I’ve moved on. Death, taxes and nurses still a certainty. I’ve realised I’m still hung up on someone who is too far away and blows hot and cold, but as I know she knows what I want I’m not pushing it.
Instead I’m just trying to date people who interest me or I’m attracted to in some way. If something happens it happens. If not at least I won’t have to spend the times I’m sat at home alone wondering what if.
