| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 9:13:22 AM | When I go to school normally I pass by this Secretary. Let's call her Steph. A few times I had to wait on a staff member. Which I ended up having some convo's with Steph. Steph's intelligence and travel experience surprised me. At first I didn't realize it, but then I noticed she's flirting with me.
It hit me hard one day when she started telling me her age, and that she wasn't married. I didn't ask her that, and she just brought it up in the conversation. I saw her a few days ago, and at that point I haven't seen her in a while. She said, "Hi. How have you been?" But the way she said it was really really enthusiastic. LOL.
I've been wondering what does she want from me? I would ask her this in person, but I don't want things to be awkward between us. But at the same time I'm not scared to make a move. Keep in mind I'm 23 and she's 36. Any suggestions? | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 9:36:21 AM | | I can't speak for another woman and I don't know whether this woman "wants" anything from you. It certainly sounds as though you might "want" something from her. I have to tell you that when I was 36 I wasn't looking at 23 year old men. She's a secretary at the school you attend, part of her job is to be friendly. Is she flirting, does she want to pursue something with you? Again, I don't know. You could ask her if she'd like to join you for a cup of coffee, that's innocuous enough to start with. Good luck. | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 10:08:36 AM | Some people share too much information with strangers... and that particular role is usually one that's super friendly and prone to a lot of talking. It could mean nothing or she could be interested in you but that's a bit inappropriate giving the situation.
Do you want anything from her? if not - move on. If so... just flirt back and if it's positive ask her out. | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 10:11:05 AM | | Can't people just be friendly and pleasant to other people anymore without someone thinking they "want" something? So she says "Hi. How have you been? really really enthusiastically and you think she wants you!? | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 10:46:14 AM | Haven't you heard we want to use you for your money/body and sneak out the back while you are sleeping.
op We couldn't possibly know what is in her mind. 70/30 she wants nothing other than to be nice.
Can a woman say hi with out there being a motive behind it or sexual lust? | |

Of course she can, but why tell him she's single? It works both ways...guys can say hi without having a motive behind it or sexual lust, but *some* women won't view it that way and will smoothly throw their non-existent boyfriend into the conversation. | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 11:36:44 AM | I put 5 bucks up he asked if she was single or married. Happens all the time..Men ask about something pertaining to business and get in that" are you married?"..just at the end.
Not saying she couldn't have offered it up on her own, but I go with odds.
What does she want? Ask her. | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 12:57:01 PM | Some people just talk talk talk. You're reading too much into it. Or maybe she caught your interested glances in her direction and she mentioned in in passing that she is 36 and married, you might wanna look elsewhere. | |
|
| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 1:01:43 PM | It does not matter what SHE wants since what should matter most to you is what YOU want.
Based on what you want, take the necessary actions to achieve it. You could ask her out for supper, have lunch with her or of course, simply ignore it.
The choice is obviously yours. | |
|
| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 2:19:38 PM | Haha. Wow. That's $5 bucks wasted, because I never asked if she was single or married. Like I told you she volunteered the info. I don't see what's so hard about taking my story for face value. SMH.  | |
|
| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 4:36:03 PM | Please, there's a woman at my job who I suppose you could call a secretary... Anyway, she tells anyone who walks through the door her life story. EVERYONE. Some people are just like that. I'm sure this woman doesn't "want" anything. | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 7:22:04 PM | ill never say hi to you, you might confuse it with me trying to be bromantic. ACK | |
|
| What does she want? Posted: 11/2/2009 7:44:17 PM | ^^^ Funny!
You want to know what she wants?
Brace for shock!
A response to her question.
Chillax! | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/3/2009 1:26:41 PM | | I didn't know this thread turned into a comedy session. WOW. About 65 percent of the posters gotta be posers, and try to be the next Dane Cook or Margaret Cho for 90 seconds or less. I didn't ask for a bunch of people to be ***holes. I asked for honest advice. Last time I checked this is pof, and not the laugh factory. Smh. | |

| What does she want? Posted: 11/3/2009 2:54:15 PM | ^^ Relax... sorry, but, they're not taking you seriously because, given the respective ages and the context, it's extremely unlikely the woman's interested in you in anything other than a friendly and/or perhaps mentor-ish way. You're not really being realistic here.
It isn't impossible she's interested, but it's about as likely as any one of us being hit by a meteorite. | |
|
| What does she want? Posted: 11/3/2009 4:15:30 PM | One important qualifying question: When you were chatting with her in the office, were you holding a bag of popcorn? Because women REALLY like popcorn...she was probably just jonesing for your popcorn and you were too wrapped up in your business to realize this. Next time you see her just offer her some.
Edit:
...what should matter most to you is what YOU want...take the necessary actions to achieve it. hardyharhar! "Excuse me, sir, but why are you ripping my clothes off?" | |
