Would you ask her to meet for coffee?

[Tinaburner77]

It’s somebody I only worked with for 6 weeks, got on well enough, she was friendly and open.
On our last shift together she asked to add me on social media.
She caught Covid just after and I messaged her to ask how she was, and we chatted for a bit.

Haven’t heard anything since, that was a fortnight ago.

Do you think I should message to ask if she fancies meeting up (presuming she’s recovered).
I know it sounds like such a simple thing but I lack confidence in this area and don’t have many friends.

I tried to message a female friend of my partner’s, who had kept saying we should do xyz together, but she just didn’t reply, twice.

Plus it was me who texted my old work colleague first to ask how she was so that would be twice in a row, I don’t want to look creepy or desperate, she may have just asked for my Facebook out of politeness.

Yeah why not - message her if you'd like to meet up. Worst she can do is say no thank you 🤷‍♀️

Yeah you’re right, I guess I won’t have to ever see her again if she does, it’ll just be another knock to my confidence though.

If you liked her you should.

Suggest something 'easy' like coffee the first time.

I’m too nervous to do it which is pathetic I know, I just feel that I’ll be rejected again.

It’s hard not knowing the sort of person she is. Some people would hate the thought of meeting up for coffee with an acquaintance if they’re quite introverted for example and it would be nothing to do with you. Me for example, I’d be anxious about having nothing to say, unless you were someone I’d clicked extremely well with and I knew we’d have a laugh and/or lots to talk about.

Go for it. Sounds a lovely idea. Very low key abs easy. No big deal
