Need help fast! AMAZING opportunity!

There's a girl at work I have a little crush on, but I haven't done anything because I came out of an engagement less than 3 months ago and have only really started noticing other girls again in the last 2 weeks.

 

However, she's just posted a little thing on her Facebook saying that she's lonely and going to start up a lonely hearts club (that part is a joke of course). This of course is a perfect opportunity to get some sort of flirting or thoughts going on.

 

Do I reply to her Facebook thing? Or do I wait til I see her at work on Monday to say something? What the hell do I say?

 

I was thinking of just leaving a reply along the lines of, "pfft, you may fool the others but I know for a FACT that cute girls don't get lonely". But less crap. Ah hahaha. Then following it up at work?

 

I don't know! I've been out of the game too long and I'm overthinking. Help??

How well do you know each other, and how closely do you work together?

 

The Facebook thing is ok (guys say that kind of stuff to me at work all the time as innocent flirting with no intentions), but you're opening yourself up to major drama at work potentially

I work upstairs, she works downstairs so we see each other whenever one of us makes the effort to initiate conversation.

 

Also, my contract there runs out in a week and the prospects for staying on are unlikely.

 

This is hardly the end of the world, I just don't get these opportunities much even when I have been actively looking for dates.

If you know her enough to talk to her, why not just ask her out the normal way? Call her on the phone or send her an email. Ask her out for coffee. Tell her you're leaving work in a week and wanted to get to know her better.

I don't want to fully ask her out, I really just want to get back into the practice of expressing interest and stuff. And this is a girl I find attractive who has come forward and proclaimed "I AM LONELY!" Just wondering what the best way to respond is.

 

If I wanted to ask her out, believe me, I would have done by now. It's more an issue of what's the best thing to do with this opportunity.

In that case do not respond...get over your broken engagement first so that the next women is viewed as a potential date and relationship rather than target practice. Nobody deserves to be someone elses practice session.

That sounds sort of mean, actually, considering she is hurting enough to proclaim loneliness. I'd punch a guy in the nose if they had led me on!

So if you don't want to date her, what 'opportunity' are you talking about? I'm not getting that...
