HopelessNick Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 I'm a journalist and I like this really outgoing and social girl at work. For the first few weeks, we hardly talked. I wanted to start talking to her, but I'm shy so struggle. I decided to prank her a couple of times to get her talking to me. She laughed at them, but she still never started conversations with me. However, she added me on LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago and when I accepted, she started a conversation with me for the very first time the next day. I talk to her a little bit more now, but I try to be playful. She always laughs when I do. For example, there was a pub fire I had to do a story on. I said "So that's where you where this morning! Lighting that fire!" She then described how she did it and I said "I'm onto ya!" She laughed. When I got back she asked me how I went and I said "Good. You did a really good job by the way. You're lucky I don't go to that pub or I'd be very angry with you." She laughed (it may have been a fake laugh). Another example. Someone pranked me by sticking a photoshopped photo of her on my laptop screen (she didn't do it). I said "At least put someone more better looking than her". She burst out laughing. When I was in a separate room today, I overheard her telling my best mate in the office about a hilarious post I put on LinkedIn that day. Anyway, do you see any potential there? Should I add her on Facebook or is it too forward?
Author HopelessNick Posted June 2, 2021 Author Posted June 2, 2021 I added her on Facebook. I had second thoughts and deleted the request 40 minutes after. I then decided to man up, changed my mind and added her again. She accepted with 5 minutes. Does it sound like I forced her to accept or annoyed her to accept?

smackie9 Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Sounds like coworker bonding. Me personally don't see anything on the romantic side.....yet. I would spend more time getting to know her personally, if she lets you, before throwing the date suggestion at her. Edited June 2, 2021 by smackie9
