I think the best way to do it is the: 'what are you up to this weeekend?" if she says not much say, 'Me and some friends are _____, It's gonna be fun, you should come out if you have the day off.' But then I guess you should have something actually planned? lol. I think it's pretty non-awkward -- regardless of if she says yes or no. Oh man, i know your situation.

Could this lead to awkward moments in starbucks?Will you have to find a new Starbucks? Blah, blah, blah just ask her to go for a drink (not coffee) I was in a similar situation with 2 of my friends when they worked at their parents variety store, it started out talking about cars and 6 years later I'm helping one of them move this weekend. Hmm helping someone move on the last long weekend of the summer , and I thought I was ending on a positive! My first thought was a little girl on girl action :)

I was in Seattle last weekend and saw these Bb products at Target. I did not even think twice that they might be fake, yet I also did not trust buying them. They were cheaper than salon prices, but still expensive for the average Target shopper. I'll be sure to do the smell test next time I'm down there. Great post!

Cool girlfriends are hard to come by. By the sounds of it, conversation comes easy. She may be thinking the same thing and is too shy to confront you about it. I know that sometimes I myself am too shy so its quite possible. I'm confident it will all turn out well. Good luck I say go for it.

"Don't you find it hard to meet new girlfriends in this city..." and if she agrees then you have your opening. She'll already be on the same page as you so there will be no weirdness.

If you feel so strongly about the connection, ask her to join you in some casual activity and see what she says. Good luck.

The most I've done with my co-workers is going out for beers after work. However it depends on your co-workers age and likes... a friend of mine works in a small office where 99% of his co-workers are into outdoor activities. They had a company ski trip together and he even climbed one of the routes up in Chief with his boss and couple co-workers. What P said.
