There's this cute chick at work, she's been working here for some time now. Some of the office chicks were trying to set us up several months back, they told me she was interested but I hate that put you in an ackward spot kind of pressure so I acted disinterested. I hadn't really talked to her since she started working here aside from hi and good morning and crap like that. Mostly becasue there are always people around and I don't like people knowing my bussiness.
It was her bday last week so I e-mailed her to say happy birthday and started some small chit chat with her. I wound up taking her out to lunch the next day, but didn't try anything drastic, just general conversation. Yesterday I e-mailed her and asked her if she would like to hang out some time outside of work, she replied today with the OK. The problem is that she's pretty shy, she doesn't drink and she doesn't look like she rock and rolls. All my date ideas involve alcohol and some sort of non-square activity. Although she might not care if I have a drink or two, since I can never just have a drink or two I worry that I'd wind up sauced up. I don't want to do anything sappy like going to the movies, thats a crappy first date. Playing pool, dancing or dinner are alcohol related events for me so I don't want to do that either. I would like to do something where there is an environment to help create conversation and distraction if things get ackward. I also want to do something fun and casual, that way even if don't hit it off in a romantic way, atleast we had a fun time and don't have to feel akward about running into each other at work. Coffee shop comes to mind, but the coffee shops I frequent are a bit on the counter culture side, so not sure about that either. Unfortunately I don't know much about her and her interests, maybe I should ask her in e-mails about crap like that. I've never dated anyone outside my realm of interests so this is kind of scary for me but I'll give it a try.
Any tips?
