Search Results: dinner party

After work on Thursday, my workplace hosted a function at a pub. I started talking to this guy who has just started at my work this week. We hit it off straight away. After chatting for a while they called last drinks, so I went to get one for him and me, and he suggested we move to grab a seat on some couches. (Still plenty of our colleagues around at this stage). As we talked more, we seemed to have lots in common. When our work crowd had thinned and we were among the last people leaving, we walking in the same direction so decided to get something to eat before going home. We shared a pizza at a cool pizza restaurant and he insisted on paying (his justification was that he'd eaten more pizza than me). Then he walked me to my car, even though it was out of his way.

I added him on Facebook to invite him to a party I'm hosting and he accepted the add immediately. I saw him at work on Friday and we chatted again; he came to find me before he left, to say bye.

Is he just being friendly because he's new? I've never gotten on so well with a new colleague that we've been for dinner on the same day we met!

My work doesn't have a policy against coworkers dating and we're in different departments. I hold no power over him at work. He's four years younger than me (he's 23 or 24; I'm 27).

Do you think he might be *interested*?
