JoeNewbie Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 A former co-worker wrote me a note and it ended with "I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk much but wish you all the best". She always gave me the prettiest smile every time I saw her in the office. By wishing me "all the best", does it seem like she's not open to a future activity? I thought about asking her out for a beer but I'm not sure about it.
TigerCub Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Well its hard to judge that comment without much background info on the kind of relationship you had with this coworker - but yeah 'I wish you all the best" in an email is kinda like "it's been good, take care" = that's pretty much it. But if you guys had a somewhat friendly kind of relationship, roll the dice and ask her out.
flc Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Joe you worry way too much and spend too much time looking for subtle signs. If you like someone, their single, ask them out. If they say yes great, if they say no, so what move on. Don't fear rejection embrace it, everyone gets rejected.
Lucky_One Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 1. Writing a note is not necessary. Her doing that indicates that she wanted a neutral, friendly, professionally appropriate way to get in touch with you. 2. She mentioned that she was sorry that she didn't talk much to you at work. Believe her; she has no reason to lie to you in this situation. Hopefully she is one of the people who thinks that romance is best kept out of the workplace. ) 3. "Wish you the best" keeps the note professional and neutral; she hasn't gone out on a limb and has left the ball in your court. If you ignore, she doesn't lose face. If you reply, then all is good.
