Should i ask Irene on a date?
Here are some of the facts.

1 - We're co-workers. We we work in the same cube farm, but we don't really have to interact as far as the work is concerned.
2 - I'm already looking for work somewhere else (i'm at a dead end there professionaly) and i've started to get offers but... i'd have to move to Montreal.

We've been sending each other signals and we both know what's going on. It's even to the point where i know she's starting to wonder if i'm not just playing her since she's being so open about it. So i have to decide pretty soon whether i make my move or not.
Either i go for it or i tell her that i don't think i'm at the right place in my life for this.

Whaddayathink?

Act on impulse I always say. whaddayathink yourself? Ask her out if you're interested, don't if you don't. It's all very simple (then again i ahve had a few beers tongiht, so everything looks simple...).

Oh i am interested! But acting on impulse is pretty much out of the picture methinks... i created a thread on the subject on a game forum.

Of course! Worst thing she can say is no... a small price to pay.

well, I guess than there is the "are you prepared to have a long distance relationship?"

if not, tell her if it starts getting serious (deffinitely before sex, also before dating exclusively)

A date?

That's a bit extreme.

Why not just sleep with her?

OK Richelieu, I'll elaborate.

You don't know you are moving. You should tell her that you suspect it.

What's to say you both have a bit of fun in the meantime?

I notice that you still favor dating her. OK.
Thanks!

Dude, as long as she's aware that you're moving, and still wants to, go for it. Worst case scenario: You tell her you're moving, she says no. Oh damn, look at those consequences!

I'd say no but since you're leaving there shouldn't be any problems. Of course if you stay then you could end up having to work with an angry ex.

As someone who has dated at work a few times, I can say, it's fun while it lasts, but if it goes bad it really sucks.
