In response to "dude" by prisoner 24601

But I don't actually know her. Wouldn't it be just weird to walk up and be like "hey, I know you are single, lets hang out sometime"

      - Just because you know there's a profile doesn't mean you have to use that knowledge - Will Hunting Dec 15, 16:49 11
        
        The work environment makes it strange. At least if I have worked with her then maybe. But we never exchanged words, so maybe it is just me but - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 15, 16:52 9
        
        What field is she in? Are you interested in that field? Can you ask her some medical questions? - amoxy Dec 15, 16:55 7
        
        She is plastic surgery. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 15, 16:58
        
        See I would not ask her a medical question. Then you are establishing a mentor type relationship. Stay off that topic -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 16:56 5
        
        Ok good. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 15, 16:58 3
        
        Small talk is your friend here. She's smart, she will figure out what you are up too. She will either act interested or put up a wall. Then you - Bacon Dec 15, 17:00 2

        No one says you have run into her the next time you see her and immediately ask her out. Just talk to the woman. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 16:54
        
        it's just a piece of intel that gives you a slight advantage, in that you know she's available and looking - prisoner 24601 Dec 15, 16:52
      - Try, "I was wondering if you wanted to grab some coffee sometime?" -- nm - amoxy Dec 15, 16:47 6
        
        No, no. I would rather just never ask her out and go home and masturbate -- nm - JB si Dec 15, 16:51 1
        
        don't knock it -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 15, 19:26
        
        That is appropriate to do? Just randomly come up to her and ask? - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 15, 16:50 3
        
        The good news is you work in a hospital so you're around a lot of people who can help you through this paralysis. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 16:51 1
        
        L$ -- nm - amoxy Dec 15, 16:52
        
        you are doctors. talk about some doctor shit you both have in common! -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 15, 16:51
      - do not mention the match.com profile. like ever. -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 15, 16:47 3
        
        Well, if they ever get together and live to 100 together, tell her then -- nm - amoxy Dec 15, 16:48 2
        
        yeah, it's a thing you reveal long (long) after you're together - prisoner 24601 Dec 15, 16:50
        
        And then lead with, "Hey, I knew you were on match.com, but some of my internet friends convinced me not to mention that becuase ... stalllllker." -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 16:50
  - Do either of those titles change through Match.com? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 16:42 1
    - Nope, but easier for her to ignore haha. - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 15, 16:44
you are in proximity to her. figure it out. it's going to be weirder if you connect through match.com and you have to explain why you didn't - prisoner 24601 Dec 15, 16:28
