How do I ask a colleague out ? He is 7 years older than me and manages a team of 10 people. I just started working here last september. It's an office job in a bank. Should I ask him out for coffee/lunch/dinner ? In person or through email ? I'm completely lost right now.
>inb4 don't do it.
What's the worst that could happen ? He'd feel flattered and gently turn me down ?
Office job in a bank? That sounds soul destroying. I know you're asking specifically about trying to shag your boss, but have you considered a career switch to something more rewarding, like carpentry for instance? It's a traditionally male-dominated profession, true, but there's no discrimination in the world of woodwork and in fact, many clients even prefer a female carpenter. You can then freely date your bank manager, who is no longer your colleague.
