some great advice given.

I finally decided to get some courage, I will ask her out to a coffee shop near work for lunch. If she doesn't want to come I figured I could casually offer to get her a take away and it won't be a big deal.

Also it's not a date just lunch during work.

I'm hoping for the best.

I will be thinking of how to get a good conversation going during the week.

Any ideas?

Are you going to make it clear that day that you're interested? Don't stay in the friend zone.

As for asking her, just walk up to her tomorrow morning and say,

"Want to get some lunch together today?" Follow KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid. Don't over think your approach, don't try to have a master plan, because that will only make you nervous.

Way to go!! Going to a coffee shop close by makes it nice and casual, pressure free. There's tons of stuff to talk about - just look at the current new topics.....SO much going on in the USA and around the world. Last night I saw a really interesting show....think it was a 20/20/ or Dateline -special about the "Barefoot Bandit", Colton Harris-Moore. He's a young guy that was on the run for over two years, with every law enforcement agency around the country looking for him. He made the most amazing get-aways - taught himself to fly ACTUAL planes by watching DVD's and video games.:eek: He stole at least 5 small planes, zig-zagged around the country, slept in "holiday homes" that he broke into......totally interesting story. (he never quite taught himself the art of a smooth landing, and used to just do a "slow crash/glide" into fields, marshes, anything that was "softer" to land on.)Just google him; you could spend an entire lunch hour just talking about the kid, he's that interesting....think they're even going to make a movie about him. Fan's of his "adventures" apparently made a Face Book page on his exploits, egging him on, made T-Shirts with his logo, etc. etc.I don't even think he's 20 yet.!

There! You already have one easy to talk about topic.:D

I'm totally psyched for you now that you're taking the plunge!!:D
 
dude in all honesty waiting is a horrible idea. reasons being.. you know shes single now. she might not stay single very long if she is this great girl. great girls dont stay single long. you guys seem to have something clicking.. you dont want it to end up in the friend zone. you sound like your at the top of the mountain right now if you keep waiting your just over the hill now and lost your chance
 
Ask her out now. Flat out, no beating around the bush. Simple sentence. "I like you, want to go on a date with me?". There, done. Either she is interested or she isn't. Either way, you will know. If she is, great. If not, be a grown up and play it cool.

To some of the other comments:

1. NEVER EVER become her friend first. Friend means you become a dickless neutrum in her eyes and you are further away from dating her as if she didn't know you name. Seen it happen too many times and the results are never pretty.

2. This whole talk of not dating at work is frankly BS. After school/college, where else are you supposed to meet someone? The bar?? Ugh, thanks but no thanks. Clubs... see bar. The gym? Sorry but most people at the gym want to relax and NOT talk to anybody. What remains is work, societies and online dating, in that order. So go for it. If it doesn't work out be a grown up and get over it.


agreed. but maybe alittle more easy by asking her out. like "hey i was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner one night with me?" maybe with reasons like "i think your a great girl and we get along well"
 
A "wedding" that would involve you, her best friend?? Now that is interesting....:rolleyes: Thinking like a female, I would say her friend serves the role of a "Maid of Honor"????? As for her whole train of thought regarding specifically YOU and this invitation, I'm afraid I have NO clue, but one thing is for sure - she is definitely noticing you, why else would she extend the invite specifically to you and not another guy in her environment?
Do keep us updated.....and can someone pass the popcorn and stop hogging it please.:p

Edit: something to symbolise the marriage?? You would have to keep this really light, simply because you have no idea what she is thinking. You could make is something funny, like a donut which is perfectly round, symbolizing a wedding ring. Doing something like that would take the pressure off of you, no matter which way the "event" turned out.

Why do I get the mental picture of two trains barreling towards each other on the same track? :eek:

Popping a fresh bucket of popcorn now.

Got a feeling "I told you so" will be coming soon. :D
