user404 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 So there is this girl at work that I like. We are both quite shy. I had planned to get to know her better first, then find a way to ask her out, but I just found out that she is quitting in a week. So my time is short now. The problem is, we both work in different departments and I don’t get many chances to talk to her. The few times I have talked to her she seemed to like me, since she always smiled and laughed when I would talk. I am friends with someone who works with her often, so would it be bad for me to ask this person if she likes me? I don’t want to make it awkward. I thought about maybe just going on one of the last days we work together and saying something like “Hey, I’m sorry to see you leave. Too bad we couldn’t get to know each other better. Would you like my number so that we can keep in touch?” What would you all recommend I do?

But say: "Sorry to hear that you are leaving, I would like to get to know you better, would you like to go out with me sometime." Depending on the response then ask for her number. Man up.
gaius Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Ask for her number, not the other way around. Something more along the lines of "Lemme take you out for a going away drink" would probably be better too. You don't know her that well and keeping it less sappy and more carefree would give you a higher chance of success. 2

Yeah, that's why now I just want to go for it. Even if she says no, then she won't be there anymore and it won't be awkward. I will probably take this approach.
d0nnivain Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 As you have figured out, because she is leaving, you have nothing to lose. I like the idea of taking her out for a goodbye drink. If you are not old enough to drink, asking for her # so you can keep in touch is a good plan. Try to friend her on social media too but don't rely on that to make a relationship
