Thanks for the advice, it’s much appreciated!
So she ended up getting this job and will be leaving within a couple of weeks (although still going to be carrying on a night shift just incase it doesn’t work out, but i don’t work nights so won’t see her around). I made sure I wished her luck for the interview and asked her how it went, hopefully this showed her I think about her (hope it was the right move!).
Now I figure I don’t really have much to lose so may aswell bite the bullet and ask her out when the times right. I was thinking of asking her to the movies or bowling, I would prefer something a little less formal and ‘scary’ on a first date atleast. But when it comes to asking her is something along the lines of ‘I really like you and it would be good if we could spend some time together, would it be ok if I took you to x or y and get to know each other better?’ atleast saying it like this there would be no doubt it’s a date scenario, but I worry it may seem a bit much, or could i just say to her before i ask her, this could be a bit awkward, but…. or is that a big no-no?
I don’t really want to ask her to go on a particular day as she probably won’t have much idea of her new work schedule, so I figure I’d just ask for her number and we could wait a few days until she’s settled and then we’d atleast have her new job to speak about also.
Thanks for the advice so far and I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes
