Girl coworker asked me out?
So some background first. I work at a women's clothing store (dudes out there its pretty sweet) but anyways I usually try to not get involved with coworkers in a physical or relationship sense but just recently one of the girls I work with sent me a text asking me to hang out. I never gave her my number they just have a call list at work incase we needed to change shifts. So I accepted to hang out and we have plans for the weekend. Just kinda of looking for some advice should I go at this with the idea of just keeping it casual? even though I feel like she wants to be more then friends why else would she ask me to hang out? I'm one of the two straight guys that work there? Just looking for some advice from people who have dated or gotten involved with coworkers, what are some of the repercussions of doing this?
Hey thanks guys yeah I'm going to play it casual but if she wants something who am I to say No and I don't really have a consciences so I could careless if the women at work talk about me behind my back. Also no company policy on dating coworkers its completely fine. Also have heard the phrase don't **** where you eat.

The reprecussions are usually that things dont turn out great and that afterwards you have to work together and see each other every single day. The very fact though she asked you is intriguing because I for one dont believe in it...guys are the chaser not the chassee...how does she know you feel anything for her?....at this point go out and have fun and see where it goes....shes interested so if you like her and have things to talk about keep exploring. Just be aware that anything you do together can easily whip thru the company in no time at al...just be prepared.

Here's a phrase you need to know, 'Don't sh*t where you eat!' That's nothing but trouble. I know it's a flattering feeling to have someone ask you out, however, think about how she did this: got your cell phone # from the work's call list, then she texted you. If she was a 'woman' should would have gotten the guts to ask you straight out. That to me, means she wants you on the down low. You're just a play thing.
What do to? Cancel the date. Lie. Do something. YOU don't want this girl to ruin you getting another job, or moving up in this company, all over what you want to feel (friendship, a quickie, etc).
I wouldn't go out w/ this girl. She could even call sexual harassment. This is not a good idea at all.
What you could do to try and slow the fire, ask her out with some of the other girls in the company that you hang out with, to lunch. Yeah, it might cost you, what, $100, but no one can say that you were singling her out. I would keep that text though for your records, just in case something comes up later. Just be careful.
Good Luck. Would love to hear how this plays out.

First I'd check to determine if there may be a company policy against co-workers fraternizing and dating. You don't want to jepordize your job. And if things get started up between you two, if you're going to keep it at a casual level or go deeper. Sometime thiings don't work out and there can be repercussions in the work place when two people don't stay together and there are bad feelings between them that may cause disruption in the work place. So you may want to exercise some caution on this.

If your company has no rules about coworkers dating, there should not be any problem as ling as you are honest and friendly with one another. The problems arise when you break up and are bitter about it. If she starts telling the other girls bad things about you, it could hurt your job.
Just don't do anything stupid and everything should be fine.
Good luck.

Keep it casual. You work at a women's store... you should know how women get if they're slighted. ******* crazy. Absolutely crazy. Don't get in over your head.
Besides, dating coworkers only works if you're watching The Office. And even then. Just don't do it.

Hey body, congrats you got an offer....
But I strongly suggest, please never do that... its a complete madness. And when the women get issue (specially coworkers) its a real headache bro.. You can try, like you said "casual" but never that deep man. Or else, thats simply a bug... (personal experienced)
Good Luck Powl !!!

Bad Idea! If things go badly between the two of you youll have to face the awkwardness everytime you work together, Plus you of all people should know how fast Work Gossip spreads, Especially when you work with alot of women. I personally wouldnt risk it unless she was REALLY hot or you were Really into her

Well I would just keep it casual. She may just want to hang out as friends. See how the weekend goes. If you feel you have a connection, then make plans to hang out again. If not, then decide its best to stay friends. Good luck.!
