[quote]However I'm worried about dating a coworker especially since this girl works in the same department I do. Also if she turns me down it would be awkward seeing her at work. Any advice?[/quote] I was in the same situation not too long ago, and I also thought it was going to be awkward seeing her at work. But it actually wasn't all that bad. If she turns you down, just keep acting like you normally do around her and keep it cool, like if it's no big deal. Worked for me. Now she talks to me more than before.
