Dear Hillary
One of our receptionists is very attractive and I would like to get to know her better. I am not the pushy type, so can’t just go up to her and ask her out. She knows my name and if I meet her in the car park she is always very chatty and will hold my arm with her hand. She doesn’t wear any rings, so I don’t think she is married or anything like that. She did ask the other day what I was getting her for Christmas, and I almost fell over, but then missed my opportunity again. Do you think she is interested? What is the next move, and please don’t say just to go and ask her out.
Bashful Bob
Dear Bashful Bob,
Even though Thai people are very shy, this girl is giving you a message. Buy her a box of chocolates and quietly leave them on her desk. Put a card with them saying “From Bob for New Year” and your phone number. If she rings you to thank you, then ask her out for dinner.
