Girl at work I want to date.

[Silentlyfor]

There's a girl at work that I would like to get to know. She's short, sweet, cute and blonde. As a stockboy, however, it's hard to get close to her and talk to her as she is a cosmetician. How can I tactfully get to know her better.

 

Right now we talk in passing but we haven't really spoken at great length about anything. How can I get to know her a lot better and how can I do it in a way that doesn't make me look desperate or lecherous?

Do you know if she is single?

smile a her when you pass her

A great conversation tip is to ask her about something you know she likes. Just listen, ask questions, and hopefully she'll open up and talk to you. And like Liza said, a good smile and eye contact are a plus.

 

Also, be sure to talk about something other than work.

I'd say run. Run now and run fast.

 

Work related romances rarely work out. I'm not saying there is no hope; of course not. But what if things don't work out? You'll have to see this woman every day, and I highly doubt you'd want to quit a job just because she is there. It could become VERY awkward.

 

I'm not being pessimistic. This is a very real possibility.

I gotta say, I disagree with Kevin T a lot here. There's always the risk a relationship won't work out, and most of the time, it won't! That doesn't mean you should give up on someone just because of what might happen or not happen, though. I say go for it.
