ltkenbo Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 There is this new girl at my work (I know a lot of people don't agree about dating people you work with but oh well), anyways I am interested in her. One two of the hostesses (I work in a restaurant) talked to her to see if she liked me (to let me know) not making it obvious though that I did, but apparently she thinks I am cute but would want to get to know me more before pursuing anything else. The other day she came into work to check her schedule and I asked her if she would ever wanna hang out sometime and she said yes and I got her number. Just looking for some tips on this. I would imagine its best to take this one really slow? I got her number yesterday but I haven't texted or called her yet. Also, what are some good things we could do to "hang out" and get to know each other better?
Saphira Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I dont see anything wrong with dating a person you like, wether you work together or not. you just have to be ready to deal with that awkwardness if it does not work out. i say good luck. now i think dinner and a movie is always nice for something to start. i say both because movies is that nice quiet cuddle time (nothing too serious on first date lol) but you cant really talk or get to know anything about each other so that is where dinner comes in. or you can always take her somewhere romantic. nice picnic on the beach at night. water is always pretty at night. or thats just me lol. i hope everything works out. =]
Lilmisus Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 This really hits home with me since I met my boyfriend at my job (I was a hostess at the time as well) and we started talking for a couple months to get to know each other before we started dating. I actually enjoy working with him, and plenty of people I know (most of my family members too) have dated or married people they worked with. A good way to get to know her better is to ask her and maybe some coworker friends of both of yours out after (or before) work. Talk to her at work, but not too much, and take things slowly at first. You have to be careful with at work relationships because if things go weary, then you still have to look at each other every other day, and if you aren't careful, it can be full of tension (a few coworker friends have gone through that, not fun). I'm not sure old y'all are, but for our first "date" and the first time we ever really started talking to each other, he asked me out that night after work, at midnight, and we and a bunch of others went to go play pool at a nearby bar. It was fun, and in a pretty neutral environment since we both knew everyone there. Consider it? Also, you could ask her if she wants to grab lunch before work, or see what days off you have together, and go see a movie on those days. Just light, simple dates at first as y'all get to know each other. Oh, and don't wait too long to call her. Probably do it tomorrow or the day after. If you both work tomorrow, call a few hours before hand and ask if she wants to do lunch like suggested.
