want to do somehting with the guy i like but ...?

Question

i dont want it to look too much like a date. thing is i asked him if he wanted to do something over easter (otherwise i wouldnt have seen him for a month or so) and he gave me his number. we work in the same company and about 2 or 3 times a week we are in the same meeting (but other than that i dont c him all week, big company, work in different buildings). the meeting is normally at the end of the day so we (all work people, bout 20) sometimes go to the pub so i have talked to him and we get on really well, and well im afraid if i ask him on a real date he might say no or it goes all wrong and then it will be weird everytime we c each other.
I really dont know what i could ask him out to. And if i find somethign than what do i talk to him about? Its so hard to get a conversation started because i cant ask those simple things like "what do u like doing?" or even "what do u do as a job?" or something like that because i already know those things.
Please help.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Talk about his personal interest(where he was raised,went to school,favorite tv shows,etc) You will be amazed that once he starts answering questions the conversation will flow naturally. If not, there probably isn't any basis for something more anyway. Start with a simple picnic,or coffee. Somewhere it does not neccesarily feel like a date and you can actually talk.
