Cool!

i could have saved myself a small fortune in divorce expenses...
had i waited until 35 to marry.....
i tell my son all the time that he is cursed with a slow maturing gene that he inherited from me......thus he should not get married until at lest 30.

LOL LOL

haven't told my son about my other marriages luckily no kids were involved with those mistakes........the girls (other wifes) were lovely, it was me, i was a jerk and too immature, and too wealthy.....made big money from the start at about 22.

 

I married at 35 for the first time... up until then i'm sure i wasn't ready. I played the field all those years and just had fun. Made alot of friends but married none of them.

 

I'll throw my 2 cents in:

you are a young kid (no offense), live life like there is no tomorrow but understand that there are consequences to those actions because you are an adult now.

As far as getting a degree - don't bother. The trades is where the money is in Canada with all the baby boomers retiring right now. I can't find guys to work on my site and the ones I have are hard to keep. Electrical and mechanical budgets have trippled in 3 months strictly due to labour costs. Electrician on a commercial site makes $48 per hour + benefits and such - I run the show and make less than that!?

Anyway, would suggest that you look elsewhere for employment and then go after the girl. Working and dating is not a good idea. Sort of like working and living with the wife - you never get a chance to do your own thing which limits conversation and makes the days stale.

There are plenty of jobs in the North but there are also plenty on the island as well. Living isn't cheap anywhere in Western Canada as I'm sure you are well aware of but getting out on your own shows that you can do it to her and she might really like that. You never know if you don't try.

I had 2 girl friends and married the second one - it has been 15 years now and we have had our rough spots but all in all things are good.

Cheers

 

Don't date a co-worker. I don't care how hot she is or how much she throws herself at you, don't do it. Unless you like playing on the freeway...

To those who are saying that a degree nets you a better quality woman, I will agree from the standpoint that taking the initiative and having the drive to get said degree will show dedication and passion that will impress a woman, however, if looking at it strictly from a money/stature standpoint, I wouldn't want a woman who loves me for my money, thanks.

Besides, skilled craft/trade careers pay quite handsomely this day & age.

 

if u like her that much who cares go for it.girls like confident guys. i was dating someone when i met tanner and i chose him because he was confident enough to tell me that he didnt care that i had a boyfriend, and he wasnt going any where.

 

My wife of 10 years and 3 boys used to be a co worker. You won't meet a nice girl at the bar. Church is about the only other place you'll meet a nice girl. If you like this one and you guys "go good" together then why not go for it? Like I said earlier, and the post above, girls like confidence in a man. You need to take charge of the situation or stay on the porch. Nobody is going to give you what you want you need to take it and if it's from somone else then that's the way it goes. She's big enough to handle it she'll make the right choice for her.

 

Hmmm..... intersting topic, and replys. I think Ive learned something here as well. I dont go to church, im too bashful, n I aint meetin any "nice girls" being a truck driver! Ahh a bachelors life for me!

Aight man, get to know her, and the boyfriend (from her point of view) n keep doin what yer doin. Just keep yer confidence up, n things will work themselves out. Not that I have much room to talk im 24, a high school drop out (GED) n make crappy money, n got no degree in anything. Just a lisence that says I can drive anything.
I have never had a co-worker girlfriend, but it could make for an uncomfortable environment should something happen.

 

Thanks everyone for your kind advice, please keep it coming.
Have to go, I'm at work.

 

man im 20 in school and working. i met this girl at school but then she started working where i work. we hooked up for a few months. then we broke up and were still good friends. every now and then work is a little akward. just my experience.

 

If she was happy, she would make sure that you would know that she had a boyfriend. Invite her out for dinner and see what she says. The worst she can say is no. If it doesn't work out, then it can become weird at work, but what if it does?
