I [27M] spent company's 3-day teambuilding in a group with a colleague [27F]. I want to get to know her better without coming off as creepy. Anyone been in a similar situation?
**TL;DR:** We were on a company-wide teambuilding/vacation for three days and I really liked a coworker's personality, jokes, her story... I want to get to know her better but I've no idea where to start since she works in a separate department and we don't work together. I do have a slight crush on her but I'm completely fine being just friends - I like being surrounded by fun people and she seems like one.
So yeah - it was a 3-day vacation sponsored by a company, a getaway out to sea-side in a resort. It was 150-ish people but I mostly hung out with my group of 10-20 friends. Some of them I'm really close with, some of them I barely know, but we almost always go out for a break together.
In any case, a coworker joined us on several occasions who I've never met. She joined the company half a year ago but I worked remotely so haven't had a chance to meet her in person. She sat next to me by chance and as soon as we met and started talking we immediately clicked. It was super fun. I'm fairly energetic person, I love the sun, sports, love hanging out, playing cards on beach and she's EXACTLY the same. For three days any activity that our group did (again - cards, volleyball, coffee, beers, anything), she was there and was hyped every second of it as I was. What I also like is that she seemed extremely self-confident, and didn't have anything against making jokes on her account. I also joke a lot on my own account, so we constantly picked on each other.
All in all I was really surprised and I can't remember last time I had this much fun with someone. I'm not sure if she had as much fun as I did, but since she was often joining our group I'd think so.
In any case I'd really like to get to know her better. If we didn't work in the same company I'd immediately ask her out, but obviously in my case I don't want to be creepy. I need to make a stop here and say that I completely understand relationships at work can be difficult and can mess things up. I also understand that hitting on coworkers is a no-no, obviously unless the feelings are mutual. What I'd like to get out of all this is to have one more person I can hang out with and see where things go.
