    With cats isn’t alone. Also cats might be your “in” depending on the woman, and you don’t want any woman who doesn’t like cats anyway. You can probably think of a few things you can say (or ask) about your cats to the women you know at work, it’s a safe topic that also says reassuring things about you. Even share a few pics of their antics, checking the backgrounds beforehand to be sure there’s nothing you would have put away if they were coming over. Obviously it’s just a start, but good companions start as friends.

      Well of course cat pics are inescapable lol (except I don’t post em online because background, but irl people can see it, there’s nothing bad it’s just identifying.)

      Though work isn’t the place for me to look, it’s all married couples and olds (I am an old but I mean like 2x my age, not exactly looking for someone my dad went to school with y’know?) And I can’t just be all “hey cute lady at the store you wanna see a pic of my cat doing cute shit? Here come back to my house and pet her!” That’s worse than “hey I think you seem neat wanna go get some coffee and see whats up?” lol. I’ll get the cops called on me that way! No, it’s much safer to just say “hey how’s it going” and keep on with my day, I’m told no women want to be asked out in public, and I don’t want to be labeled a creep at some place I regularly patronise for asking someone out for coffee, so I’ll just keep my thoughts to myself.
