I'm hoping for some sincere advice and discussion here. I've been very careful to post vents about work and my family in my blog, so as not to start the kind of negative threads I used to in the past. This.. is a circumstance, that I would appreciate discussion and advice on, both for myself, and in general.
I've posted in my blog about the current events and situation at work. We are currently trying to sign what could be a very large client for me. It could be a "Game changer" for me at Aflac, if Heaven Willing all goes right. It's so big, that my supervisor has told me to let him handle it. Fine. If we sign the client, it will be wonderful for all of us, and the company, of course.
I've also posted about my speech therapy, to deal with my stuttering. It has gotten better, but,, needs work.
Lately, I've been feeling a bit.. lonely. I've also posted how the WPVI site is down, so I don't have my favorite newsman Jim Gardner as a distraction every night. I hope this is only temporary, but,.,. what if it isn't?
I went into a place I hadn't eaten in.. in a long time.. today.. There is.. a girl who works there,. who has always talked to me, and I think, flirted with me,.. in the past. She always asks me, how I am, and about work, etc, very friendly.
I don't know much about her.. Most importantly, I don't know her age. If she's taken,. or..rejects me, and says no, fine.. I've had it happen before. She could be.. much younger than me.
I WANT to ask her out.. The thing is.. I have several concerns. One as I said is her age. Two, what happens if the client we're trying to sign, does.. Work could get.. crazy for me then. If we don't sign the client, I'm going to be.. crushed, and not in the mindset to date. I'll be deflated, and have to immediately think about what comes next. .
I used to see a therapist at college during my parents divorce, a lady I've been in touch with since my mom died. It used to drive her crazy with the excuses I had for not dating women. School work, my parents divorce, my estrangement from my dad, etc etc.
I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to go into the place she works in the next few days, talk to her, and if all seems right, ask her out. The other part says.. wait to see what happens with the conference call next week, and what the next step is with the client. Theres also the thing that my speech therapist told me she doesn't think I'm ready to date yet, even though my speech is better. She's out of town next week, so I could be a bad boy, and ask this girl out, while she's away.
I would appreciate advice. With all the uncertainity with my work, and how I will feel if we do, or heaven forbid, don't, sign this client, should I just.. wait.. even if it is a bit. We were talking about this whole idea of "Waiting" with another potential client my dad and I know for work. My supervisor is imploring us not to wait with that, saying if we don't meet with this other client, someone else will. My supervisor says one client has nothing to do with the other.
On the subject of the girl, advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Although some would say that advice is a little old fashioned.
