If a girl I used to work with text me out of the blue months after not working together anymore can I ask her out?

Of course you can. Can you ask out your neighbor? Your barista at your local Starbucks? The lady that checks you out at the grocery store?

The answer to all of those is yes. You can ask her out. I am unsure of the dilemma here. She is just a girl now that you don't work with her.

If you were working with her then I might say not a good idea. That isn't the case anymore. So go for it.

[Asker]

I thought I couldn't ask her out because we were friends when we were coworkers

[Masie]

No it is fine since you aren't working together anymore. Go for it.

She probably wants something or she would not have sent you a text message. Call her and ask her out.

[Asker]

Why could I ask her out?

[_Jenny_]

Because she sent you a text and you want to see her again

Damn, this boy is determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Thank you for the MHO

I think that's probably why she's reaching out...

[Asker]

Think so?

[DishLady]

Yeah. Why not?

Did she have any sort of legit BUSINESS reason to reach out? She left something at the office, she needs you for a reference, etc?

[Asker]

Nah. I think she just wanted to talk

[DishLady]

Ok. . .

[Jessica405]

Go on. Give it a gp. Nothing to lose!

[Jessica405]

Doh! "Give it a go"!

[Asker]

What do you mean I have nothing to lose?

[Jessica405]

You are not with her now. The worst thing that can happen is you will stay without her. You won't lose anything by asking. If she says no, you have lost nothing.

However, you might get a date and more.

[Asker]

This is a great perspective. I never looked at it this way. Is it best to ask now or wait?

[Jessica405]

Do it now or she might find someone else

Do you have a functioning brain?

Figure it out yourself.

What's stopping you?

[Asker]

There are a lot of risks right?

[Lliam]

Like what? The only one I can think of is the possibility that she might say no. But she is the one who texted you out of the blue, right? It sounds like she was reaching out.
What have you got to lose?

[Asker]

I just thought that since we were friends when we were coworkers I couldn't ask her out now. Also she is 6'0 and I'm 5'7.

[exitseven]

Go for it. I bet she says yes

[Asker]

You sound confident

[exitseven]

no guts. no glory

[CubaPirate]

What have you got to loose. Go for it bro

[Asker]

You don't think there is a lot to lose?

[CubaPirate]

Nope

[Asker]

The worst she can say is no?

[CubaPirate]

Absolutely

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Go for it

[Asker]

Do you think I could actually ask her out although we were friends when we were coworkers?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Of course

[Asker]

I didn't know that
