I kind of have a bit of a dilemma on my hands. I work in an office and there is a girl there who I'd LOVE to try and go on a date with. She's an intern and her last day is Dec. 15th, so I'm not worried too much about eventually having a potentially awkward relationship with a co-worker.
I'm not 100% certain that she'd give me her number, but the few times I have had a chance to really talk/flirt with her, I've sat there and talked her for an hour. when I said, "I should get back to work" she replied, "No, I don't mind". That moment happened maybe 3 weeks ago.
The problem is that I never have a chance to try and get her number. She is stationed up front right where my two bosses' offices are located, so I can't exactly just go up there and hit on her.
She's a diligent worker (being an intern and all), so I have trouble catching her in the kitchen away from everyone else, for example.
As I said, I'd love to ask her out but I'm having a hard time finding the chance. Any ideas?

Since she's an intern and leaving soon, do you know her plans yet after she leaves? It might be good to find that out if you're in New York and she's heading for job interviews in Cali.
Strike up another conversation with her, except toward the end of the work day, perhaps walk out with her and then ask her for her number. Make it a good segue though, don't end the conversation and then ask, talk about dinner if it's the end of the day, where you're gonna eat tonight or what you plan on making, and then ask her.
Even better, ask her to go out for drinks after work, tell her you need to destress a bit, invite others along if she says yes, and then it will be easier to have a private moment.

Try to catch her before she has to be at work, like in the parking lot. Or just maybe ask her, if she would like to have dinner with you or something, I'm sure the BOSS, wouldn't mind that, if he was to over hear you ask her to dinner. Or maybe drop off a note to her, or when your on lunch call the front desk and ask her over the phone. That would make for good conversation on your date. Good luck

Yes. It sounds like you really like her and judging from the length of time you have talked to one another, there might be something there. I would try to go up to her when your bosses' are in a meeting or at lunch. Another alternative is to catch her when she's on her mini break or lunch break. Good luck! :)

Since she is leaving next Friday, just walk by her desk and give her a good-bye/good luck card. Tell her you really enjoyed working with her and if she wouldn't mind giving you her telephone number.
If that is too awkward, then include your e-mail address in the card and tell her that you would love to keep in touch.
Good luck!

I believe if you like her and want to go out with her you should ask her out. You will not have to announce you dating to everyone. It sounds like she like you . just go for it and you can keep it cool until she is no longer working with your company. take her to lunch or out for dinner on a Saturday night. I think you will be just fine . hope you get up the nerve The 15th is just a week away. good luck

Bring her a cup of coffee in the morning, or a smoothie around lunch time, attach a note saying you'd like to take her out for a "drink" with your phone number. If she calls, great. If not, then at least you tried.

Honestly, I really wouldn't ask her out. For the fact that if the 2 of you break up, you still have to work together. Also, some companies don't allow it. Good luck whatever your decision is.

ASK HER OUT. No guts no glory boy! I have had the same type of guy around me and it drives me nuts!!!! He doesn't have the balls to ask me out or strike up a conversation on his own. I know he ws attracted to me and i even tried talking to him, but he's scared, So I wound up getting pissed and eventually didn't want him at all because he has no cahones<--spelling?
Any way ask the woman out! ASAP!

Try and talk to her at the start of her workday, or towards the end, when she'll have time to talk. And then ask her for her number, and tell her you want to go out with her.
