ive had a crush on this girl that i work with for a little while and i'm really over the whole being nervous around girls thing, so i just asked her out on a whim.

unfortunately, we hardly ever work together and i don't have her number, so i had to do it through facebook. of course, i explained that i wasnt asking her out through facebook because i was afraid of talking to her, but moreso that i just didnt have any other choice, and i also gave her my cell number. but that's not really the issue, it's more that ive never really asked out a coworker before and i'm wondering if she's gonna feel weird around me now if she does indeed turn me down. any thoughts on the matter?

You said "hardly ever" work together...do you mean like once a month, never knowing when it's going to be? I'm just curious if you could've actually asked her in person.

that's kinda weird that you asked her out through facebook, but if that was your only option then I guess it had to be done.

right now we're really overstaffed, so we each only get about 3 shifts a week, the shifts are set up on a week-by-week basis. we worked together on wednesday, but next week we arent working together at all. plus we have different schedules. i usually work weekday mornings and she usually works weekend nights and afternoons

Whatever.

It's better to have tried than done nothing at all. Plus it could turn out that she says yes.

Hopefully it was through a message and not a wall post or something. Because, doing it for everyone to see is extremely awkward.

lol that part is kind of funny, you couldn't just take some time out/show initiative to show up at your work when you were off and she was working... catch her on a break or some shit?

C'mon, it's not all that funny/hard to believe in this day and age....most people look for girls on those types of sites anyway. Besides, I doubt you're the king of smooth and always know the right way to ask a girl out.

If you barely see her at work, that's one thing. Did you already have her Facebook address or did you "creepbook" her name to find her profile to ask her out?

i dont really visit my work when i'm not working, and ive never randomly visited her, so she'd obviously know that i came in for that exact reason and given the fact that she only works one or two days a week, i think she'd put two and two together and realize that i looked at her schedule and then came in on that exact day.

i know the right way to ask a girl out is in person, because i am not a social misfit

uh douche. option b was: randomly "pop in" while she was at work in like... a week or two. thats a lot more stalkerish if you ask me. if that's your opinion of smooth then i wouldnt be pulling the "social misfit" card on other people

If you barely see her at work, that's one thing. Did you already have her Facebook address or did you "creepbook" her name to find her profile to ask her out?

no, we had been facebook friends for a while

but like i said before, my problem isnt really with asking her out over facebook, i dont find that weird and i explained it to her that i simply had no other choice since i wasnt working with her and i dont have her number. its more just that im afraid it might be awkward if she's not into the whole hanging out thing

yes i think i am so cool because i am realistic.

look bottom line is if the girl is shallow enough and is physically attracted to the dude, then itll be dope for him and she wont have a problem with it. if its more of a leap of faith for him, shes going to think hes a creep. surprised you didnt go with the message/poke combo, just for effect.

Yes. You are the absolute authority on everything that involves women. I don't know how any one in this thread could even fathom the idea of challenging you.

It makes more sense to go the electronic route, especially considering they had already been friends on Facebook previously.

I "dated" the one girl I work with for like a month. We just went out, fooled around but never really declared going out since I really didn't have any feelings for her. Funny thing is she's the one that asked me out by getting my number from someone else from work and straight up asked me over a text. It was weird but she was the finest girl I've ever been with. Pimp moment of my life.

Right now I'm trying something with this one girl I work with and I'm gonna try to take it slow a bit. I got her number last night actually, but she's been texting me like mad so it seems to be going pretty good so far. I'll ask her to "chill" sometime soon.

I always used to have a rule against dating people I worked with, I just didn't want to deal with any of the awkwardness. But 2 summer's ago I met a girl at work and we started dating, luckily it was only a summer job and no one found out until like 2 weeks before I was quitting and also, thankfully, we didn't break up until after I was already gone.

ok you are right, most girls prefer being asked out on FACEBOOK than in person.

nobody ever said that its typically better to ask out girls over the internet. this, however, is not a typical situation, obviously you cant grasp this concept, so why dont you just shut the hell up?

Bad move. Never qualify yourself, especially right before you ask someone out.

And a girl, of all members!

This is all true. You're the man. You're supposed to lead. You're supposed to ask her out, and you're NOT supposed to have excuses, they make you appear indecisive, anxious, and unconfident.

I hope you did it on super draw wall and made it sparkly. You should've also drawn flowers and someone recieving anal with a flower, major bonus points in the "ask-your-co-worker-out-on-face-book" world.

I remember when I was a waiter, me and one of the waitresses had a thing for eachother and hung out on the side for a while,hooked up whatever. I felt that itd be way too awkward though to do anything with a co-worker/ my best friends ex at the time as far as dating goes. Now that I no longer work there and am no longer good friends with her ex game on!!! Haha. Call or text this girl it will work better than face book.

im going through exactly the same situation only im the girl and not the guy..lol well anyway i would say just to go for it even though that's pretty hypocritical of me to say because i am too afraid to ask him out because if the same reason. i dont want it to be weird afterward. which, i guess if it is fuck it you deserve better right?

I don't think it's that bad to ask someone out on facebook because then if the girl doesn't like them, but doesn't want to hurt their feelings it's less awkward for her. I was actually thankful when it happened to me.
