Nah son, leave it in the bag. Putting it on a plate looks like you've thought about it way too hard. Who eats popcorn on a plate and not straight from the bag anyway?

what do? nothing? stop trying to get her attention and just act normal. Maybe she was being friendly and not necessarily trying to make a new 'friend'. So if she wants to hang out or whatever, let her come to you. Just be friendly and move on. She's not "the one". Get past that 'the one-ness' crap.

Dating-Gaf is on a roll. Why isn't Dating-Age a community thread?

To be honest, I did get married to a guy I knew less than six months, but we spent a ton of time around each other and talked for hours, I'd met his parents and siblings, and we were actually really happy. So it's not impossible, but...two weeks/one week is way way too soon.
You're just jelly you don't have plate popcorn.
ok so why are people telling me to ask her out already? i wanted to give it more time, but it seems like it was too much time. i don't get it.
I lied above, if someone brought me popcorn in any kind of vessel I'd give them a handy.
I fucking love popcorn.
IF YOU WANT TO DATE HER THEN ASK HER OUT.
What do you want more time for? To find out if she's the love of your life? This isn't complicated. If you're looking for the wife of your future children then you need to re-evaluate.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
drop off a microwave bag and keep it moving. kettle corn. That you buy at the grocery store down the street.
but no, do not do the thing you were thinking about doing, no.
edit: and maybe you should be doing nothing, on second thought.
ah sex expectation, such a weird construct.

Interesting... Would you wear a wig, though? -.^
It was at one point. I assumed they brought it back to OT to reduce patheticGAF threads. Mission accomplished.
Asking her out is fine and good. People are just worried you're falling head over heals for her already and making this out to be more than it really is. Stop treating things like this is some huge big love fest RomCom movie where you're both hopelessly in love with each other and just be a real person.
what is so bad about getting to know someone before you ask them out? i barely know much about her still. that's why i wanted to keep talking. why would i ask someone out if i barely know them? seems like a bad idea.
You can get to know her by asking her out too you know....
But yeah I really think it's hard to tell how compatible you are with someone in a week/2.
6 months is a lot more understandable than 2 weeks and at least by that point you had developed your relationship to meeting parents and seeing how compatible you both were.

A date is not a contract to be boyfriend and girlfriend, it is a way to get to know each other with intentions firmly set. Asking a girl on a date is like saying, "I may like you, you seem interesting, I want to get to know you better, if you feel the same way then say yes." If you are at the point where her saying no would be devastating then you waited too long.

Asking her out and so starting to find out more about someone is different than this:
You don't know shit about her after a week, other than casual interest, dating is a way to establish if you really are right for each other, a little bit at a time.
Have you seen Frozen? You're Anna, she's Hans.
A lot of people still thought it was way too soon.You can get to know her by asking her out too you know....

Asking them out is a way to get to know them. Don't overthink the importance of a first date, its usually just two people having drinks and learning more about each other or some shit

Big part of dating is just getting to know someone. That's the idea of the first few dates.
Status update on the popcorn situation?
It's just a freaking date man, it's not going to make your future children fade out of existence Back to the Future style.
You're not asking her to be your boyfriend, you're asking her out to get a drink and get to know each other. See if you like the same things, see if you can get along outside of the work environment, etc.
Don't even call it a date, just ask to hang out, get a bite or a drink.
i ate it all.

You ask people out to get to know them. If it doesn't work, you're out some cash and some time, but that's it. She didn't start talking to you to audition for you.
Good man. You need to carbo load if your going to go dancing tonight cause YOU'RE GOING TO ASK HER TO THE CLUB NOW GO.

To be fair, spring/summer is all tank tops and shorts, I tend to stare more/fantasize more as well, who doesn't like boobs and butts?

Dude, no. You're over analyzing this, and you're making a production out of it. You're giving actions more meaning than a normal person would even guess at.
Just go talk to her. Ask her if she is ok. but just calm down. It's not a big deal. You barely know her, so it's no lose if she does wander out of your life.

you dun goofed...
You're going to get to know her on a date! That's how you advance your situation. Getting to know her for weeks and weeks before you muster up the courage to ask her out is a sure way to get yourself stuck in the friendzone. By the time you work up the nerve, it will be too late.

has gaf ever got anyone laid though?
What happened with popcorn-sharing and some conversation with said co-worker?

If you take the collective advice of GAF as a whole, we usually give pretty good advice.
Gaffers are just terrible at taking the advice and follow the first asshole that validates their feelings.

If this is true then fuck girls. She's mad at you for something she wanted you to do that she didn't tell you she wanted you to do. You were just supposed to know and read minds.
i just went downstairs to go outside to my car and she jokingly said "you are not allowed to leave" i said "no, you aren't allowed but i can". and she smiled.
is our date for tonight back on??
This can't be fucking real. Mah gawd
