Attractive new co-worker Linkedin request.

Hey all,


My company has recently onboarded a quite attractive new female. I don't want to get too graphic or objectify her, but in an effort to paint a picture, I will say that she has a killer fanny.


We had one of those awkward meetings in a hallway... one of those I'll go this way and you go that way kind of deals that ends in head fakes and jukes.


Exactly 13 minutes later she had sent me a Linkedin request. Is she into me? Should I message her or wait until she's back in office to strike up a conversation? What are your thoughts on office romances?


@paddy @funcoupons I know you have experience in this area, I am curious to hear your input.

Thinking a girl is interested in you because she added you on LinkedIn is the online equivalent of thinking the waitress wants to fuck you because she smiled when taking your drink order.

If you're being serious, just talk to to her like a normal co-worker and start with that. Also, work romance in this day and age is a bad idea unless you plan to leave soon.

If she gives you a private striptease while in a giant martini glass filled with Kahlua and helps you torture the intern in the filing cabinet with lit cigarettes and a chainsaw she's probably sprung on you...that's how I showed @paddy I was down anyway.

Of course she smiled at you. She’s a new employee in a new company and will be wanting everyone to like her so that her job feels secure. And not in a flirty way, in a “I just want to fit in to my new company so life is good” way. Guys always assume it’s more than that. So ridiculous

'work romance in this day and age is a bad idea" - are you referring to the possibility of getting fucked by false accusations that ruin your career and life?

Just trying to give you a bit of perspective from a female. 

To be fair, I get a lot of dudes try to slide in my LI DMs pretending that it's work related and then end up being creeps and it pisses me off. LI is for work. If you're really into her, ask her out. The worst she can do is say no. Just don't do it repeatedly, or that would be considered sexual harassment and HR will fire you. 

It's no different than prospecting, really.

How can you be so sure that you're the only person at the company she's added on LinkedIn? We could ask these questions all day.

Regardless, even if she is into you, now isn't the time to be suave. Be a great colleague while she's new. If it turns into something further after she's figured out where HR sits, then you can (more appropriately) pursue your love affair.

Just remember, eating where you lay often ends in a not-so-ideal manner. Be careful!

Definitely go stand near her, but not say anything. 10ft is the ideal radius. Then breathe just loud enough for her to hear you. If she says anything, WALK AWAY. Repeat every day till you’re fired.

This is a problem that "social" media has caused in today's society.  People no longer know how to interact socially.  

If you dig the chick, randomly grab her a coffee (or something she likes; if she doesn't like coffee, stay away - that's a bad apple) on the way into the office or at the office coffee station (doesn't even have to cost you anything, just the gesture).  Give her the coffee.  Talk to her, see how she's fitting in.  At the end of the conversation make yourself available, "well if you need anything, my desk is just over there".  BE GENUINE ABOUT IT, not just playing the game.  Then you wait.  IF she comes to talk to you - it doesn't necessarily mean she's interested - suggest going to lunch or hanging out aside from work.  If its a no, she's 100% not into it; if it's a yes......maybe. 

I swear.  I never thought people, sales people none the less, would need help engineering social situations.  Less game than a kid with his first bat (baseball reference for the win).

DO NOT message her on LI. Just wait until you are in the office and talk to her. If she is into you, over time, it will show. Keep talking to her casually in office and maybe invite her to a HH with other co-workers to show you're not a d-bag. She will be comfortable going out with you once you are out with co-workers. Then eventually you might be able to grab a drink with just her and let it play out. Relax

While LinkedIn is specifically a business professional networking expansion tool. I'd like to think she might not be reaching out for a hot date,(especially if she's hot) but I mean who knows anything is possible...


I'd wait until she gives a clear gesture if I were you or dismiss the thought in full.

Is this the in-real-life version of "just connect and pitch?" Why not just propose and lock her down and/or get a sexual harrassment complaint.

Sales, gotta shoot your shot. /s

REAL ADVICE: I wouldn't recommend dating a co-worker. Unless a girl approaches you first, you can never be sure and work is not the place to fuck around with that. Especially if she is new to the company, she is probably nervous as first days/weeks can be tough to figure out a new place. Don't make this harder for her.
