If you're interacting with a single woman and you have a girlfriend or wife, tell the single woman that within 2 minutes of meeting her----not hours, days or weeks later, within TWO minutes.
Work it into conversation: "Oh, my girlfriend and I went to this great restaurant last week...."
If you're simply only interested in friendship with the single woman and you're single, make that clear TOO... somehow:
Sample scripts for the idea impaired: ;)
I.)"Hey--have you ever dated anyone you've worked with? I never would--too much drama, the professional environment isn't a place to mix romance."
I.)"Hey--have you ever dated anyone you've worked with? I never would--too much drama, the professional environment isn't a place to mix romance."
II.) Or perhaps the single woman is blonde with short hair so you tell her, "All my girlfriends have been brunettes-- I just love long brown hair--do you have any single friends like that?"
III.) Or if she's younger than you: "I really like women a little older than me-- that's all I date."
