    There's this girl who recently joined the company I work. We work in the same department and I'm starting to like her. I really want to ask her out but I fear she might say no and that would make working with her awkward. Then again, I dont have anything to lose at the same time. We talk all the time but rarely on anything personal, mostly work and usual pleasantries. My main problem is I am not Irish and I do get the impression that most Irish women wont bother going out with non-irish. So should I try even though I feel that the chances of her saying yes is very slim?

    why not start by suggesting that everyone in the dept goes out for a drink and take it from there.

    Just ask her if she wants to go for a coffee during working hours, or lunch maybe. I don't think organising a departmental booze-up is the way to go!

    Likewise isn't a 'yes' going to make things awkward as well?

    Don't sh1t where you eat. Seriously, if things get serious you'll just have a mess on your hands when they go pear shaped. Unless she's a potential contender for wife then its not even worth entertaining the idea

    Yes. Ask her. Faint heart never won fair lady. Fortune favours the brave. He who dares wins.

    Better to regret asking and be told "no", than regret not asking and never knowing her soft pleasures mmmmm.

    In a similar situation myself but I'm not gonna pursue it as I know I'll lose interest if something happens. I'm just all about the chase. I probably wouldn't even approach her out at night if I seen her but because I'm working so closely with her, I've developed an attraction towards her, like a bit of a serious crush - she's not even my type aesthetically.

    To the OP, You should go for it man, at least you'll have an answer that way.
