Should I ask my co-worker out to lunch?

Question - (13 May 2016) 7 Answers - (Newest, 16 May 2016)
A age 36-40, * writes:

I am interested in my coworker. Should I ask her out to dinner?

Signs (I think) she likes me:

1) The way she looks at me. I could just be entranced by her eyes/smile.

2) She eats her lunch when I do. I asked her to lunch today and she said yes!

3) She mirrors my actions (hand gestures, body positioning)

4) She would lean towards me (almost against me)

5) She doesn't budge when we would accidentally touch

6) I feel tension when I'm near her.

During lunch today, I asked her what she was doing this weekend and she said she was free. I do not know if this was a sign to ask her out or that she was just being friendly.

I do not know if she knows that I like her. I do not make it blatantly obvious (and only one other person at work knows that I like her). Please help me out.

Thank you!

aunt honesty agony auntI think you should go for it, it is okay to only talk about work, because at the moment that is the connection between you both, I suggest when you go for lunch hint at dinner for the following week and see her reaction.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Update: She said yes and we went out to lunch together! However, we talked about mostly work-related things. I still feel the tension between us. I want to ask her to dinner, but I don't want to rush things right now. Nonetheless, she invited me to have lunch next week. I guess I will have to play it by ear. Thanks for the advice!

At least YOU like her. Ask her out without worrying if she likes you or not.

Definitely ask her. It certainly sounds like she might be receptive. And even if she ends up just being friendly and doesn't want a date - she obviously likes you enough to tell you nicely. I'm sure she won't think it's weird or creepy or inappropriate if you just ask.

Let us know what she says........

Denizen agony auntI think you are pushing at an open door. It all sounds positive to me from what you say. What can be the harm in asking? The worst that can happen is that she declines. Nevertheless as Ovid said whether she accepts or declines a lady always like to be asked.
