      - 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

        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

      - 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
