Cookies

Well today was pretty great I must say. This girl I work with she is pretty cute 18 I will assume today she just brought me some cookies and said she baked them for me. Handed me a plate with a card on it and smiled and walked off. Open the little card and it says "hope you enjoy them -Her Name". Now I do my best to try and not get romantic with anyone at work cause if something goes wrong it will probably be awkward. But what kind of gesture is this is this something I should take as she likes me. Or was this just a friendly gesture. I asked around nobody else got cookies.

I am fairly reserved and quite at work I don't really know much about this girl other then her name and she eats bagels all the time. Should I return this gift of cookies with a favor or a gift of some kind back to her. I am not sure about such things anymore.

But I leave it up to you the blogging visitors of my site to give some advice of what to do.

Before you do this consider carefully, the power of the suggestion.

Return the favor with a gift of a small white teddy bear wearing a red bow, clutching a (real) single red rose.

The teddy signifies cuteness (as in you think she is) and will touch her heart in a special place reserved for sensitive guys...

The red ribbon on the bear signifies a willingness to be a friend and is a non-committing and non-threatening gesture.

The single red rose is an offering of sacrifice which symbolizes your appreciation for her initial gesture.

Her overall impression of your gift will be that you are a hopeless romantic possessed of a shy spot, a conservative and non-threatening guy/possibility for her to explore.

If I am wrong about this (and I am not) I will submit to verbal abuse from Jon, who obviously is a "gitter done" kinda feller.

I mean that kindly, Jon :)

Hold off on the idea of the rose... At least for now. I would say, go with the small stuffed animal. See how that goes.

You don't want to use all the tricks at once.

But what do I know. I am just a girl. *shrug* In the end, good luck with whatever you decide!

Tristan - forget the animal. Stuffed animal gives wrong vibes. You stuff something with something. Think about it - you dont want to give out wrong clues and hints just yet. SHE GAVE YOU COOKIES - YOU GIVE HER BASKET OF BAGELS. You say she likes BAGELS. GO get her nice bagels out of the bakery and put it in the basket and ask her if she would like to go to the park and sit on the grass. Like Island Lake Park.

Not to secluded - yet very romantical and firendly at the same time. After all I got married there. I THINK IT IS CUTE THAT SHE COEM TO YOU WITH COOKIES. WAY TO GO YOUNG JEDI.

I got cookies from a girl once, but I live in San Diego now. The girls down here don't like to cook/bake. Oh well, maybe I can buy cookies from the grocery and with luck the cashier will be a girl. As far as ideas go, I like sergie's suggestion. Good luck with that.

Tristan, all doing that would suggest is that you're a pussy. Hold off on that. Start with conversation. Ask her if she wants to go get some coffee or something. Like you said, you don't know much about her yet, so start there. And don't learn by stalking :P

Well Jon,
If he is going to ask her for a coffee and find out about her then why not get her some wondeful freshly baked bagels and ask her to spend some time in a park on the lake. Beats the hell out of going to a filled up coffee shop. Unless it is in my coffee shop in Kingston. HMMMM.... I am thinking???? This way Tristan gets my seal of approval and we do have bagels!!!!!!!!!!

OK, folks...FIRST, decide whether or not you like this girl. If she gave you cookies, I'm guessing she is interested. But before you whip it out, give her a stuffed animal, give her a rose, or ask her to coffee, make sure you're not going to lead her on.

If you decide that you're interested, I suggest you ask her if she'd like to share the cookies over a cup of coffee somewhere and see where it goes.

But that's just me. :)

Be sure to post an update.

Well I must say this has been the most popular one of my posts ever with this being the 10th comment.

I haven't seen her since the cookie incident. I am thinking she is probably a bit young for me but as they say age is just a #.

She is a beautiful girl but still has that young craziness that I am not exactly sure of. But I will post an update when I have something to update on this matter.

I have debated if I should print this comment page out. But then again I am still not sure on this whole matter.

I could just think of this as she was just being friendly. But then again I have no real idea. The subject of girls makes sense some days other days sense seems to go right out the window.

Yeah don't talk yourself out of it. And definitely do not buy her ANYTHING. It totally sends the wrong message.

She's obviously attracted to you so you need to amplify that attraction, not squash it by showing her that you're a wuss who has to buy women things for them to like you.

Ask her to coffee and some stimulating conversation. Also, I would tease her about how she must have a huge crush on you for baking you cookies. And give her a sly confident grin while doing so. You may also want to throw in something about how you're not THAT easy and she can't just bake her way into your pants... :P

Amplify her attraction for you...

she can't just bake her way into your pants

*this is what a lie sounds like

haha... It's not a lie... It's just stretching the truth to tease and make yourself more attractive... Besides, that's the point. You're just teasing her. And it WILL work.

If you have the balls to tease her it shows that you have confidence. Not only that, but it shows that you are funny. Women dig confident, funny guys. Just ask them.
