Dear Barf,
I have a LARGE crush on this one guy I work with who is not really my type (yet we are equally hot) But you see, he is all dignified and I have a touch of white trash in me. Should I go ahead and ask him out anyway or is it a lie when people say girls should ask out guys? I have never had to before. Maybe I should wait and see if he asks me out?

Dear Jolie,
First, what’s the vibe with you and this guy? Is there eye fucking? Teasing? Work crushes have pros and cons that are equal in strength. If it backfires you have to see him everyday and that’s a nightmare. If it doesn’t, work isn’t even work, it’s a daily trip to the fun parade. I can’t tell you what to do but I can offer from my personal experience. When I ask guys out it usually doesn’t end well, even though everyone else will tell you that’s bullshit or that the proper feminist advice would be “Go for it!” I say make the attempt to flirt and if he’s into it, he’ll ask you out. I’m all for being “white trash” or whatever but if you want to get laid, you should be a lady. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be your awesome, most bad-ass self, but if you’re “equally hot”, as you say, let him come to you for the date. Wear high heels and be confident. He’ll ask you out. What’s the urgency? Enjoy the agony of the crush for now. Sometimes that’s the best part.
Love you, mean it,
Lesley
so what happened at missbehave magazine again?
for wateve reason, i definitely prefer to ask the girl, rather than the other way around. he’ll ask.
Just be sure to make it clear to him you’re interested, some of us are really dense.
Well, that was mind-numbingly dull.
When girls with a “touch of white trash” declare equally hot status, they are ALWAYS WRONG (I learned this in parts of Winnipeg).
you forgot, “…if eye fucking doesn’t work, try being more forward- if you’re both in the photocopy room, close the door and proceed to give him a quick, yet sloppy bj, and don’t forget to swallow!…”
don’t ask him out, you slut. just forget about it, dating people at work is not cool. even if it does work out, it’s not like you’ll be together forever, but you will be working together forever. then after you break up, he’ll be telling all the other guys at work how he went bareback in your asshole and shit like that. “a daily” fucking “trip to the fun parade?” what the fuck is this sex and the city? after all the sex is over, you still have to pay your bills, and will not be cool walking by this dude every day and pretending to pretend that you still have your dignity. don’t date coworkers.
PMS: leave him an anonymous note telling him to put his cock in the gloryhole and fuck him that way. that way you get the smegma without the social stigma.
dick nix has a point yo…
This all boils down to “why should we be the ones risking rejection?” It has nothing to do with etiquette and everything to do with girls being pussies, both figuratively and literally.
If you are a temp or you hate your job go for it! If you like your job then don’t shit where you eat.
Sorry, I can’t comment here anymore, I’m having a baby.
So this is what’s passing for “content” these days, eh?
Amen to Nixon.
Don’t date people in your apartment building or at work.
Richard Nixon is right. Also, if dude was interested, he would’ve asked you already. If he hasn’t, he probably has a girlfriend or is gay or you’re uglier than you’re letting on.
wow that was heartfelt
Can we get Richard Nixon a fucking column? 100% accurate dude point of view.
Yup. Nixon’s on the ball. Well said
I would love to see a side by side photo comparison of the “touch of white trash” chick and the “dignified” dude.
“Touch of White Trash” would be an awesome scent for a cologne.
wait until one of you quits, then do it the next weekend.
HOLY SHIT THIS SHIT SUCKS COCKS. STREETBONERS IS DEAD
I’ve tried office dating and it’s not recommended for a reason(s). No matter how it works out, it creates awkwardness for either your co-workers (who will gossip about you even more) or between the two of you. Mine didn’t work out and I wasted a ton of time trying to avoid said person. But, as for asking guys out, I don’t remember ever being turned down when I’ve done it. Of course, I’ve always done the asking when both people were drunk, so if you’re going to take the chance, wait for an office party and snag his number.
love u, barf
