How do I ask a co-worker out for a date?

Carefully - don't want uncomfortable office vibe - also, do it in an unonvious manner - go to lunch in the park and see how things are on a one-to-one basis and if good go for dinner - and if that works, give a kiss - good luck.

Definitely wait until the job is finished... if he asks you out, be honest and say you are attracted to him and explain it is best that wait until the job is over.\n\nEnjoy!:)

I think it might help if you could change your perspective and try to see it from a woman's point of view.\n\nObviously, if the person you want to ask out is someone you have strong feelings for... you have have a lot at stake emotionally and that's going to be scary for anyone.\n\nBut, in general, having someone take an active interest in you or ask you out is flattering... even if you are already in a relationship (sometimes, especially so!), you aren't in a "dating" place in your life right then,  or if the person asking doesn't click for you.\n\nSo, don't make it about whether or not YOU get a date.  Just make it about giving HER something to smile about, maybe.\n\nAlso, please remember that most of us HATE hurting guys with rejection... so if you really want to leave her with a smile, you have to look like it would make you happy if she said yes, but doesn't crush you to the core if she says no.\n\nIf it REALLY freaks you out to approach women, I have two suggestions:\n\n1) Get into something where you are around women more... join a book club or a take a class and get in a study group with women... it gives you guaranteed stuff to talk about and is very good practice.\n\n2) Set up minimum attempts each week.  Start with just one a week.  Whether she says yes or no isn't the point.  It's good practice... and after a while you'll feel more comfortable with it - especially if you luck out with a "yes" every now and then.  (PS Don't start by asking the women out where you work.  It looks really bad when guys do the "rounds".  The complement becomes an insult at that point.)\n\nBest of luck!

I'm assuming you like him...\n\nbe direct. Ask him out for coffee on a specific date and time. If he says yes, he's interested. If he's not, he'll give a excuse why he can't.

It really depends, if you know them really well ask them out. You never know until you ask. You really have to be bold if you want your opprotunity. If you don't know them too well, get to know them a little then after about 1 week ask them if they want to do something over the weekend like see a movie. Things can eventually go further, but you have to take the risk to know for sure.

If you like each other go for it.  Get together outside of the office.  you can't be scared of what will happen if it doesn't work out.  If everyone was like that then no one would ever get together.  If there is an office policy that coworkers can not date then you need to be sneaky.  You never know, you might have found your soul mate.

Dating and working. Working & playing. Sounds contradictory, right? \n\nWrong.\n\nYou can no more control your heart than you can stop breathing. \nBut ask yourself if what you are feeling is LOVE or LUST.\n\nDating a co-worker (to your EMPLOYER) means you have been slacking off on his time-clock; something that may cause problems between you and the co-worker in the future. By merely posing the question, you indicate your fear of on-the-job-involvement. You are attracted to him/her, but you are afraid to commit.\n\nThink about what that means. You are not SURE about this co-worker, are not prepared for a failed relationship among your peers, and are reluctant to completely give of yourself before you know answers.\n\nI have learned that "when in doubt, DON'T." \n\nYou have made a valid point. If things don't work out between you, more than likely, EVERYONE at the job will know about it. \n\nBesides being "awkward," you risk losing your job, your reputation and your appeal to perhaps, a more suitable partner.\n\nBUT - on the other hand...\n\nLove (true love, that is) has NO Address. This means it is entirely possible for you to meet your soulmate while dating a co-worker. \n\nTherefore, my advice is for you to: \n1. GO SLOW (don't rush into anything)\n2. GO PUBLIC (get to know him/her initally in the company of other co-workers at a restaurant, snack bar, etc.)\n3. GO AWARE (learn about his/her past relationships. You just may be another conquest or victim #___ on their playa's list)\n\nEnjoy the attention but always be aware of the RISKS. And if true love prevails, welcome it. \n\nI wish you well, my friend. Thanks for posting your question.

I think asking her out to lunch is a fantastic idea! I would advise against breakfast however since she runs night shift. (Most N.S. workers sleep till 10am-1pm. and it is not advised to wake up someone if you want a yes)\nI think a couple of 1hr+ lunches spaced out over 2-3 weeks is enough to begin developing a friendly relationship between you two.

successive days\n\ngood morning\nhi!\nhello again\nhey you... he he... you know, we keep running across each other and i don't even know your name. I'm <your name here> (offer hand for a freindly shake or some other gesture)\n\nlet it grow a little more organically for a bit til you can get to the point of inviting him for a lunchtime coffee or whatever.. then, who knows. you'll find out whether he's worth pursuing further or not sometime in the above exchange anyway. :)\n\n...wish i could be as knowledgeable or as bold in my own business though, there's a girl at work whom i'm sharing a similar series of happenings with.... guess what... dont know her name and have never asked. duhhhhhhh.

If she has a boyfriend already then you just need to back off.  How would you feel if a co-worker was trying to get with your girl?  As for the work relationship, keep in mind that even a friendship would affect the work relationship, so a romantic relationship will affect it more deeply.  Move on and try someone else.

It's hard for someone young to understand about dating but its really simple.  I wish I would have known what I know now back then.  Simply just walk up to her and ask her is the most easiest thing to do.  Don't worry about the answer or work yourself up over it.  Just walk up and say hey "NAMEGOESHERE" I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the movies next weekend and wait for your answer.  I know at that age its very nerve racking to do but you just need to do it.  If she likes you in that way then she will say YES, if she wants to be friends then she will say NO, simple as that.  Don't worry about the movies being cliche, do what you want to do or ask her if she would like to go out sometime then if she says yes discuss it with her on your lunch break or after school etc.\nBest Wishes and hope you get up the nerve to just ask her!!!

I'd ask a cool co-worker if they want to go out (as friends) and tell them why. They'll understand. Get involvexc in community stuff, too. But small talk is not the #1 answer.

Ask her out on a casual date maybe to eat or something.

Just make sure that there are no work regulations against dating within the company -- but otherwise I'd say go for it. If things go sour, just make sure that they don't rot and decay - because like you said, you do have to see her all the time.\n\nAnd don't send it "secret admirer".  Send it from YOU - that way she'll more than get the hint that you like her.

One...it depends on how much older she is than you.\n2. It depends on who she is...a teacher? A neighbor? An acquaintance? A co-worker?\n3. Is she involved with someone else?\nYou probably need to be direct with her and just ask her out...something simple at first....say stopping off for a cup of coffee, and maybe the next time a movie and a burger after wards.\nGood Luck.
