Make her a Valentines Day card. Being a few months late just shows how much you care. Extra points if you put a lock of your own hair in it, double points if you can manage to get a lock of her hair and tie yours around it. ---

Show you go the extra mile (kilometer if your that way) by using pubic hair. ---

Make little cakes or muffins, bring them in and hand them out to everyone. Make sure you deliver hers personally and tell her you made this one specially for her. Do this daily. No one can resist home baking, and girls love to feel special. She’ll relax around you in no time. ---

Shakes, I can imagine being you in this scenario, and you have my sympathy. It would be bugging me too. I have no jokes. As far as advice, I don’t have much there, either. More than anything else, be passive and observant about interactions like that, I guess, and put your attention on being somebody that others have no reason to worry about. Unfortunately we don’t get to have everybody else react to us in what seems an appropriate way. Others are saying some of this too. But I mostly wanted to sympathize. ---

Just write a kind note that says something like, "Sorry if I creeped you out by tracking you down in the parking lot on your first day. That wasn’t my intention, I had only forgot to introduce myself. By the way, I’m still available if you need anything. Anything at all. 🙂 -Shakes" Then slip it under the stall door where she poops. ---

It doesn’t have to be anything you did. I’ve had crappy chemistry with certain individuals for no obvious reason at all. Humans, like cats, are weird. Only a lot more so. ---

I wanna play! Can you carry a tune? Approach her from behind, put your hands on her shoulders, spin her around and burst into: _Pardon me Miss but I’ve never done this, with a real, live girl …_ Cut out capital letters from newspapers & magazines and leave a note on her desk and car windshield reading: _I was having a bad day when we first met, but I’m feeling **much** better now._ (bonus points if you put it on the door of her home, that shows you’re willing to go out of your way to make her comfortable with you) Skywriting - chicks dig a sky-written message. Go with the tried & true: _I’ll get you, my pretty — and your little dog too!_ Regards, Shakes p.s. you’re either with me or you’re agin me - choose before my flying monkeys arrive ---

Seriously, though, you have the opportunity to turn this from a creepy encounter into an amusing anecdote. Talk to one of your mutual friends (“Nancy”) about the new girl (“Sally”). "Nancy, I notice you talk to Sally a lot. What do you think about her? I think she has lovely skin, but now I’m kind of afraid to talk to her. “On Sally’s first day, I was overloaded with those damned WENUS reports, and so I didn’t have a chance to introduce myself. You know, the WENUS is always first, and always wins. “Anyway, I don’t know what I was thinking. It was her first day, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar property, and I screwed up bad, because I only had WENUS on my mind. I saw her in the parking lot, and rather than using my common sense, I caught up with her. Hey, all I did was introduce myself, but in retrospect I think I might have put off a creepy vibe. “I’m not dwelling on it much anymore, of course. That would be creepy, but it was a good lesson learned: never mix WENUS with coworkers. Anyway, she has good skin, and I feel I could make a couple of good wallets from it and sell them on eBay for about tree fiddy each.” ---

None of that serious shit, you should just print out a copy of this thread and leave it on her desk (or slide it under … oh, nm). I mean honestly, if she read this stuff, she would be rolling on the floor and would probably be your friend forever.
