The company I work for, I am constantly on the phone taking pickups for customers. One of our customers I have a crush on, and we have enjoyable conversations and joke on the phone with each other. I think she is interested in me, because she always wants to talk to me when she calls. However considering it’s business, our conversations usually don’t last that long. I really want to ask her out, or get her phone number, but I have no idea how to go about doing that considering our business interaction. The other problem is that the company she works for, has a new girl calling in their orders, so our phone interactions have diminished significantly where it might be once a week that I talk to her. I’m afraid to make a move, because if she says no, I feel like things would be awkward, and don’t want to seem unprofessional. What should I do?

I understand your dilemma. She’s someone you have a phone relationship with only — you’ve never met in real life. And the phone relationship is over work phone calls, on work lines. I think that when you do get to talk to her, you should flirt with her and try to draw out the conversation. If things go well, ask her if she’d like to talk on personal phone lines, and if she does, exchange numbers and pick up the conversation outside of work. 😉
