First one: I am thinking of asking this girl I know out. I've known her for a couple months, but it's just been in the past coupled of weeks that we really started talking, hanging out together (with other people), texting. A problem I've always had was waiting too long to ask a girl out and getting "friend zoned" (the last girl I asked out, it took my three months before I did). And I got the response, "You mean just as friends?"
Guys how do you respond to this? This also leads into dilemma number two:
I work with her. Now granted, this is a job that I know is not a career job (it's a serving job), just something that pays the bills until I get my actual career path started. I've always had a rule of not dating coworkers, but I really kind of dig her and would like to see if maybe there might be something more.
So, if I were to ask her out in the next few days, and I get the response, "You mean just as friends," what's the best way of playing it off cool and the least awkward.
"You mean just as friends?"
"with benefits baby? "
If it bombs just laugh it off and say, "of course as friends."
Date her after you get your career path started. Until then, just keep spending time with her in a group of people. If you keep doing that who knows she might notice you and send you some signals that it's okay to approach her that way.
