    Howdy folks,

    I’m hoping someone might be able to help me out. I recently meet a someone recently (within the last week) through work (she works for a different co who were helping ours complete a "project", sorry I can't be more specific). Anyway I had to meet this girl in order to get certain aspect I was responsible for closed off. For some reason I got on really well with her (you’ll have to take my word for this but it usually takes me a while to "warm" to people) and had a feeling we "clicked" (sorry I appreciate that has probably been said to death but I can’t really think of any better way of sating it!). anyway I kind of got the impression that she liked me too, just the way she said certain thing seem to stretch a bit beyond friendliness but I could be wrong. The cynic in me told me that she was just being nice to get me to do what she wanted (work wise that is, i.e. parts of the project finished) or that maybe i was seeing what i wanted to. The more I thought about it though the more I thought, “sure there’s no harm asking her out” etc. Problem is I’m not exactly the most confident or courageous character (to be fair these really are the least of my problems) in the world and it’s after taking me until now to muster up the courage to ask her and (surprise, surprise) the project is more or less finished and I’m unlikely to meet her again. Has anyone any suggestions as to how I create a situation could ask her without it seeming a bit desperate or pathetic? The only thing i can think is to ring her to say thanks for her help and somehow try to ease it into the conversation but unfortunately subtlety isn’t one of my strong suits so I’m struggling with that! Then there’s the problem of working in an open plan office and everyone being able to hear everything what you say!

    I’d be extremely grateful of any words of wisdom anyone has to impart.

    Thanks

    You should definitely ring her! Otherwise you will have regrets. The situation where you “click” with someone does not arise too often. If the open plan office is putting you off ring her from your mobile (I presume you have one) away from those who may be eavesdropping.

    Just bite the bullet and ask her out, if the outcome is not what you hoped at least you will know you tried. As she works in another company there will be a slim chance of seeing her again anyways!! Believe me she will be flattered.
