You know how your good friends with people at work, and usually only see them at work, and often shoot the ****** about work...well how do you transition a work friend to a regular friend that you can see outside of work?

Theres this girl at work, we're usually pretty talkative, only see eachother at work, and I want to move things out of work and just hangout in person and do more intresting things. I just got out of a long relationship so im not really looking for something in that sense, I want to hang out with her and not scare her off as me trying to get with her.

Anyways, I saw her at the store one day, and I dropped her an email jokingly pointing out how in disbelief i was that I saw her outside of work...and I said we should hangout some time. She replied with a "yeah that would be fun" and her number.

Should I call her one of these days to hang out...but what the heck would we do? I knoticed since I broke up with my girlfriend I have no confidence - that and after a 3 year relationship I don't really know how to talk to girls anymore...

:confused: So im posting here ... pathetic aint it?

Beer is probably the best place to start. Then try to find similar interests such as exercise, etc.

Of course you should call her and hang out sometime. Realistically where are you going to meet any other friends? back in the school days your school friends became regular friends, so why not work friends?

You can't force it. All you can really do is hang out on a Friday night or something like that and see where it goes.

stop being a wuss and just call her up and go out.

After a night of platonic fun, you two would feel much comfortable with each other. :)

Well, you're underage, so a bar is out of the question. Don't do a date style thing, as that will scare her off. I suggest knocking her out with an empty SoBe bottle (Poor Man's Roofies) and have a blast.

Have a WTFBBQ, or maybe just a regular BBQ. Lots of people + food = comfort.

Heh, I would still go to a bar (wine bar, martini bar, beer bar) and chill. Probably one of my fav things to do, at least w/my gf.

go get drunk and start watching blockbusters at the theaters..nothing solidifies a friendship like getting thrown out of a theater for being sadistic pricks that won't shut the Fvk up during Britney Spears' big moment:)

Take her out to smoothie bar. Those are good.

Just do anything. If you work near a mall, j ust ask her to chill out at the mall or something when you both are not working.

so it goes
