Re: I think I might've accidentally asked a coworker out

[crunchysunrises]

Stop it. Just stop it right now. This passive-aggressive "I'm so sorry I'm bothering you with my problems" business doesn't smooth anything over. It's not endearing or modest or whatever you're shooting for here. It's just annoying. And you don't mean it anyway. Obviously you meant to bother us with your life crap because you posted it. Suck it up, accept that you want to bother someone, and move on.

That, by the way, is the first tip. Don't be a snide, passive-aggressive idiot. No one likes it. It will make your not-date go badly.

Second tip: DON'T CRY! As they said on a movie preview, "Winners cry on the inside." Generally, I'd find that an unhealthy piece of advice, but it seems like advice that you need. There is nothing worse than making your table mate cry... except if you're the crying table mate.

Third tip: This isn't a date. She should know it's not a date because you asked a huge group of people. Ergo, not a date. And FYI, I've gone out with people, bought their dinner and movie (or been paid for) and it still wasn't a date. And we both knew it. If you really need to make sure that she knows casually say something like, "I looked ticket prices up online. The movie will cost about Y amount. And dinner'll probably be X. So we should both probably bring at least Z." or something equally logistical.

Fourth tip: You really don't have to do all or even most of the talking. Ask her about herself. Find a topic that she enjoys talking about and mine it by asking further questions. It'll put the convo on her and show that you're an attentive listener. This step will work even better if you stumble on a topic that you can both enthuse about.

Fifth tip: Relax and have fun.
