Advice please

So, I started a new job a few weeks ago and began with a training session with an attractive young lady. For the first few days we talked a little since we sat next to each other and one day, in the middle of the week, I asked her if she wanted to get some Mexican food for lunch, in a casual type of way. She didn't since she said she didn't like Mexican food and so I didn't really do anything else ( i did mention another place but I don't know if she heard me).

 

Anyhow, since then she has started acting a bit different. Whenever I see her she smiles big at me and waves, and when she leaves she does the same thing. Also she has been joking around with me and writing me e-mails back and forth at work.

 

So, what do you all think? I know inter-office relationships can be bad, but I have no reason to ever see or talk to her during the day, simply due to our positioning.

 

Any advice? Should I ask her out? Other than the e-mails I don't really get to talk to her any at work.

Go for it! Ask her out.

Since she has starting smiling, waving, and therefore acknowledging you are there.. it's a good sign she was flattered by your offer, and could very well be wishing you would ask her out again.

 

Since you don't see each other often at work, if a relationship did form, it wouldn't be as tough as others (with the relationship/work scene). Not to say some work related “issues” could not come up. You both would have to talk about this.

 

And hey, even if a relationship doesn't strike up.. at least you took a coworker out, and hopefully made a great friend.

I agree, you don't see her much, so if you do get together, then things don't work out, you don't have to worry about running into her at work and feeling akward.
