We only knew each other for less than a year, never hung outside from work. I'm just worried she may seem forced to say yes, also I don't know if girls worry about guys acting strange via text messages which I wouldn't do but yeah. Are these one of those sure, that's fine or no, just leave it alone, say your good byes to her and move on?
Girls, if you were quitting your job and guy you had a good rapport with asked you for your number or social media would you be cool with it?

What Girls Said
You can always ask but just know that having her as a friend on social media doesn’t necessarily mean she wants to take things further from there. I’ve had a few coworkers who I've added on social media, but I only keep in touch with like 2 of them and even that is strained.
Oh I’m not trying to hit on her to go out. When you say that is strained do you mean you don’t talk?
If you’re just requesting her as a friend then that should be fine, you guys are formal enough. But yes, by strained I mean we don’t really talk. Maybe one of us will like or comment on something here and there, but we don’t hang out or anything like that. Just super casual.
Actually there’s one slight thing…
What’s the slight thing?
I’m 35, she’s 20. I’m doing the job while in grad school but she seems like a mature girl with certain views for her age then girls in their 30s.
Don’t get me wrong that’s all nice to hear, but what’s it matter? Like the age difference, her maturity, where are you going with this?
Oh I meant is it weird if a guy my age who worked with someone of her age and asks her for her number or social media to stay in touch. Again, I’m not trying to hit on her.
Ohh okay, I think you’re overthinking it a bit too much lol personally I don’t believe any of that would matter, but I’d genuinely say that if it gives you too much apprehension to ask about adding her then you shouldn’t. If you know you’re going into the situation just wanting to stay in touch, that’s totally fine. But then that brings me back to what I said earlier about adding her but not guaranteed you will actually stay in touch.
I tend to be a talkative guy. I’m not on of those guys who msgs a girl and says. Hi or how’s it going — generic things.
Would that be your hope? Like to be talkative with her and chat often?
Well who know where life goes, maybe there is an attraction that develops, I can't predict the future. But its okay to be friends with someone if you chat here and there.
So there is a bit of a motive here, I’m guessing you find her attractive? Anyway, I want to be clear with what I’m saying because I know it can be misinterpreted or confusing when it’s written as opposed to in-person clarification. What I’m say is that asking if you can add her on social media is fine — there is enough familiarity and formality between you two, you’re not some stranger. However, there may not be as much conversation between you two as you’d like, because adding you as a friend could just be her way of being kind. That’s why I spoke about how I currently interact with my last coworkers: I have added several as friends, but don’t talk to them, and even with the 2 I do interact with, it is strained.
I'd find it appropriate for a male coworker to want to stay in touch
Say your goodbyes to her and move on
