Not sure if this is the right venue for this or not, but I just want some advice on something.

I work at a movie theater and I've had a crush on one of my managers for a long time. I never asked her out though because floor staff are not supposed to date managers. However, she just stepped down from being a manager and is now a floor staff, like me. When I found this out, I got really excited and I decided that I would finally ask her out. However, there are some significant complications that I am now realizing, and I'm wondering if it's the right thing to do. I looked over her social media, and there are indications that she is likely dating someone, but I'm not 100% certain. I also am planning to move to another state at the beginning of July, so that limits the chance of any sort of real relationship.

I am deeply ashamed to admit this, even to anonymous internet strangers, but I am 23 yrs old and I have absolutely zero experience with girls. And I really mean zero. I've been on one date my entire life, but other than that, I have never dated, never had a girlfriend, never kissed a girl, never went to prom, etc. I'm not like a really strange person or anything. I get along really well with everyone. I'm just really shy with girls and idk, it just never happened for me. Anyway, my point is that I am so desperate for some sort of romantic connection with a girl. And I don't often find girls that I am actually interested in, so that's why I'm having such a hard time letting go of this girl. Should I just ask her in order to make myself feel like I didn't miss another opportunity, or would it be best if I just gave up?

Also, I was going to ask her out the other day at work. Then I overheard her talking with someone and it sounded like she was maybe talking about a boyfriend and I became discouraged. I even walked out the building with her at the end of the night, but I couldn't bring myself to ask. Now, I won't see her until this coming weekend and who knows if I will have any alone time to ask her. So I'm also wondering, if I do ask her, is it ok to do it over facebook? I know you're supposed to ask these things in person, but I'm just so tired of waiting. I feel like my whole life has been waiting for the right opportunities and then they never come or if they do, I don't take advantage of them. And I know it's not good to be this desperate for a relationship, but I just can't help it. I'm so so tired of waiting.

Sorry for the rant.

Just my opinion but I don't see anything wrong with asking her out via Facebook. Are you prepared for the fact she may have a boyfriend? Are you prepared for the fact she may say no? If so, go for it. I wish you much success and the best of luck.

Nothing wrong in asking first if she's seeing someone. If so, then you can move on, if not, ask her out.

Yeah, you can ask on FB. I don't think there' any problem with it. Good luck!

I don't see any harm in asking your co-worker if she is currently dating anyone at the moment. If she's single and you are genuinely interested in her, go ask her out! You can't tell what someone is thinking unless you ask.

If you'd feel more comfortable doing so via facebook, that's fine too.

Never, EVER, go out with anyone you work with. It's bad news. Always.

Look outside your work environment for romance.
