My coworker asked me to drinks and dinner on Friday. Is it a date? He texts me quite a lot?

He texts you? Why does he have your personal number?

Anyway, yes, that's a date.

I need to improve my self esteem. Because I keep wondering why he’d want to date me. I don’t wanna fuck this up. Lol.

It’s interesting about the number thing. My other male coworker had us in a text group once and he saved my number from that. Then messaged me on WhatsApp then it escalated to text convos

Because he's attracted. He may be wondering why you would want to date him. Did you grow up with a lot of drama, or just little support? That often leads to low self-esteem as an adult. I've been there. A great therapist helped me. If it's possible, you might want to talk to a professional. Otherwise spend time with supportive friends and avoid negative people. Best wishes.

@slatyb what do you think? Does he like me? Here’s the signs: he texts me regularly like every week and sends me pics and videos, invited me to drinks/dinner for Friday, tells me I’m hilarious in like every convo, and said I should Instagram model and also told me I make his day.

Of course he likes you. If he didn't get wouldn't spend timer interacting with you.

Definitely sounds like a date

[Asker]

Yeah. I hope I don’t botch it up. He’s really cool.

[mandyfire98]

Just talk to him and have fun. Don't stress out, you'll do great.
