Online dating issue/opportunity...

    So I work in a pretty big company, lots of people and lot of women.

    Now as a man I do checkout the women I see around the building and there's a couple I think are really cute but I would never go up and ask them out in work. Now one in particular we've had a few chats, nothing major just being friendly though I'm very attracted to her and I think she is attracted to me as sometimes she'll come sit with me at lunch even though she will know no one else at the table (we worked in a project together a few months ago)

    Anyway I'v been single now for 3 years though have dated a good bit but I was bored there a few weeks ago and went onto a free dating site and was having a look at a few profiles and found this girls that I work with. Now i'm pretty sure she can see who's viewed her profile and can see that persons profile, I actually used my name instead of some stupid pseudonymn like BigC8ck4u :)

    Since I viewed her profile she's become a bit more flirty (I think, maybe i'm just being hopeful..)

    Anyway I really want to ask her out, I dont want to do it in work but I dont really want to do it online either as I think it looks a bit odd asking her out online when I would probably see her everday. Thats a bit odd!

    Anyway what's the best way to go about this??

    Hi Op

    I think you should ask her out, or say to her you saw her profile and wondered would she fancy a drink, and make a joke about asking her out in 'real' time. The thing is you only have two options of asking her out, the workplace or the internet, and considering she is looking to date people, I think you should act soon, it sounds like she is dying for you to ask her out, some women are afraid to make the first move, so I think you should go for it because I think the words 'if only I did...' are the saddest ever in the world, better to get egg on your face than experience nothing.

    To be honset it looks a bit better if you ask her in person. Just next time your talking to her ask her what she did the weekend, what she's doing next and if she has no plans ask her out for a drink. Simple really! She'll hardly say no!

    Seeing as ye work together and have worked together on projects...

    how bout this...

    Print out her profile, bring it to work and the next time she sits beside you at lunch - ask for her "opinion" on something. Produce said profile and cheekily ask... I was thinking of asking "this" girl out as she seems really fun and interesting... What do you think she would say if I did?

    Gigiddy Gigiddy - ALL RIGHT!

    I think it depends on the company. My last place I met my GF there but we were very discreet and no one knew for about a year i'd say.

    I know other places where it is very frowned upon.
