This guy and I have been talking and texting on the phone sometimes. I really like him a lot. We work in the same building, but not the same department and he has offered to give me a ride home sometime(I don't drive). IDK if I should ask him for a ride, I'd feel like I was mooching or bothering him. But I really like him and want to hang out with him. Should I ask for the ride or just ask him if he wants to hang out with me?

Have you even had lunch together??

Or suggest that you go somewhere together after work for a drink or meal. Get to know him better.

No, we take our lunches at dfferent times. We'd probably have to check with our department managers or something.

Do you think I should text him and ask him if he wants to go out to eat sometime after work? Or let him text me?

Oh lord,

OP, tell the guy to message you if he wants to get drinks or dinner after work.

If he is interested in you he will in short order. If he doesnt then he is not interested and you should move on.

Well he is the one that asked for my phone number, which I gave him. After we started chatting. I don't think he'd ask if he wasn't interested. Plus he did offer to give me a ride home after work one day(after I already mentioned I took the bus). Should I ask or should I wait for him to offer again? Should I just ask him out after work for a couple hours?

If you have to ask permission from random strangers on a public forum if you should ask this guy out the answer is:

No, you are not even close to being mature enough to think about a relationship.
Once you are mature and able to make your own decisions about your own life, including dating, then you should think about getting into a relationship.

A few words of caution though............NEVER take Romance, Religion and Politics to the office, even if you work in different departments of the same company. It rarely ends well for anyone involved and tends to feed the gossip gluttons.

OP, I think the concern here is for your safety. He may seem like a great guy, but getting into a car with a stranger isn't a good idea, so people are suggesting you invite him out for appetizers or drinks after work, so you can size him up better. Does that make sense? Or if there's a free concert or other event on the weekend, you could suggest meeting there.

Well the OP isn't a child and they aren't strangers, they know each other from work.
