Girl in work is attracted to me

    Okay everybody, here's the story. I'm a 38 year-old single guy, and recently at work, my supervisor employed a new single girl as an operations director she's 40 years old.

    Now i work in the warehouse/office and she works in a different office near where i am. I was introduced to her by my supervisor and he asked me to show her what i did in work.

    Intially when i met her, i liked her but that was about it. Usually, during the day i run into her at least five or six times, and i had noticed that i've somewhat clicked with her.

    Here's where it gets tricky, it's plainly obvious to me and other people in the company that she's quite fond of me. From my own point of view, it's been noticeable that she likes being around me, this has manifested itself into: her offering me lifts home in her car, her asking me to help fix stuff for her, her laughing her head off at my jokes, and her generally trying to get into a conversation with me all the time.

    As i've said, she's kindly given me lifts home near my house. And i've got to talking to her in the car and chatting to her in her office in work.

    From a personal point of view, i'm becoming quite fond of her. I'm single, she's more or less in the same age bracket as me. So, basically i'm contemplating asking her out in future...do you think i should?

    Why not?

    She seems to like you. You seem to like her. Why are you making a drama?

    No. Don't ask her out. If she like you, as you say, she will do the deed.

    Are you concerned about this because it's an office romance? Other than that, nothing is to stop you.

    Just a quick point - if she is 40 she is a woman,not a girl......obviously fancies the pants off you, so why not? Crikey,even in this day and age,women like to be asked out!;)

    Oh, I don't know. Some older women like being called a girl.

    At least you're old enough that if things don't work out, you should have the maturity to be able to continue working together.

    No, you need to play it out for 2 seasons while you both make fun of your other co-worker while avoiding doing work for your totally incompetent boss. Then she starts dating someone else, you get insanely jealous, they marry, move to florida

    and Then you realise nah **** it I'll just go for it in the first place :rolleyes:

    Maybe,( I most certainly do not!) but whatever she is called, she is still a woman, NOT a girl!

    the fact you had to post this to ask makes me understand why your still single at 38!! (not that theres anything wrong with that of course!)

    What the hell would you know about women?

    Go back to pulling yourself off at the the thought of riding your sister.

    Is my spelling good enough for you there?

    When you are at your death bed, would you rather have regretted asking her out, or would you more regret missing the opportunity and not?

    Personnally I would think if a guy is interested he would make the move, it wouldnt be up to the guy, make it informal, a few drinks down the local, take it from there.

    DO NOT ask her out!!!!!! If you do the two of you might have a great time, then meet up again and again and before you know it you might be in a great relationship- you might even end up getting married and having children!!! Imagine how terrible all that would be.....

    Ask her out, you'll be a long time dead

    I'd say say ask her out - ask her out now !
    no time to waste in this short life, is there.


    i probably shouldnt be giving good advice like this though if i cant follow it myself though :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,348 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    Have to agree with the "girl" thing myself. Yes OP, ask her out, she's obviously mad into you.
