Read alot of bros stories here, so thought to share one true story of my own. It's not as exciting as what I have read about other stories here though, but do bear with me.

Joined my present company about 4 years back, 1st day there, a HR lady (let's call her K) was briefing me on the company welfare stuff (now then I know they bullshitting). K is quite a good looking lady, not those slutty type, but more like those GND with a nice figure to go with. So during the briefing, I was not really paying attention, but spending my time admiring her.

K: OK, so you got any questions?
Me: (damn, so fast over, really not a lot of welfare eh) Erm, I still a bit confused, if I got questions later, can ask you?
K: You can ask your supervisor
Me: (sian, so fast cut off one of my advance routes) Ok lor, but if he don't know, I find you la
K: Ok lor, but don't depend on me so much, I'm quite busy.

That's the first time we talk, and certainly not the exchange I had hoped for. Didn't think much of her for a while, damn company squeezing me like hell. But on and off, will see K taking breaks (so much about being busy) at the pantry. So 1 day, decided to talk to her as I'm taking my break as well.

Me: Hi, remember me?
K: Eh, you joined a few months ago right?
Me: Yup, you briefed me then. I was thinking, if I don't have time to clear my leave, can carry forward to next year hor?
K: Yup, but only 1 year hor. Still early for you la, but if you didn't clear your leave this year, must clear them by the next year. Else the 3rd year will be gone.
Me: Oh ok, I not much leave la, but once in a while still want to relax. Your leave cleared liao for this year?
K: No la, I still using last year's leave. I'm on leave the whole of next week, gotto clear them before they are gone.
Me: (sensing some chance) Oh, you got plans ah?
K: No, laze at home lor.
Me: (trying to see if I have chance to hit on her) Never go out with bf?
K: No bf la, broke up last year liao.
Me: Opps sorry, didn't mean anything hor.
K: It's ok, I don't like being tied down anyway.
Me: But you must have a lot of people going after you lor.
K: Yup, like you right? Trying to ask me out issit?
Me: (damn, since she so direct, I also try luck liao) Ya lor, you will give me chance ah? Next week?
K: No, I don't like to go out with people I am not familiar with. Sorry hor, you can try J**** la, she also single.
Me: .... You make it sound like I desperate.
K: Haha. I'm going back to work liao

Haiz, 2nd encounter also gone. Was thinking then really no chance liao. For the next half a year, I didn't really talk to her much again, until our company DnD approaching, suddenly she talked to me of her own accord in the pantry instead.

K: Hey, still haven't asked J**** out ah?
Me: .... Recovering from heartbreak from you leh.
K: Haha. Anyway you doing anything after DnD? Me and E (her best friend) going pub, and you know D (my close colleague) keep asking E out, so E asked him along. But I feel awkward leh, since you close friend with D, join us la.
Me: Hmmm, so I am a "by the way" invitation la.
K: I not forcing you ok
Me: Ok ok, since I have no plans yet too.

Woo Hoo, finally 3rd time I made some slight progress, can't wait for DnD night....
