Should I ask my coworker out?
I'm a 21 girl and I have developed a thing for my coworker. We work in the same area of the store and we often talk in passing or share little comments and jokes. We share common interests and he has even told me that himself. I don't know if he is just being a nice and making friendly chat or if he has any interest. After the holiday I'm moving to another section of the store and I won't see him as much, so lately I've come close to asking him to hang out outside of work. I fear rejection and making our relationship awkward. Should I just ask, wait for him, or just do nothing? Any suggestions?

Ask him out! If he says no then so what, you are moving to another area of the store anyway, so you won't have him around all day making things awkward. If you want you could ask him out with a group of your colleagues instead so it's not such a big deal - make it like an end of year drink or something. Then if you get the right signals you could follow with an invitation to hang out, just the 2 of you. Loads of co-workers date, and it's only a problem if one has authority over another in some way, which doesn't seem to be the case with you guys. Just keep it professional at work, and do your chatting outside of the store.
If people didn't ever ask each other out for fear of rejection, there would be a lot of lonely people in the world... Good luck!

Unless you both or one of you plan on leaving the job it is never a good idea to date a co worker. In many places co worker relationships are against the jobs policy. If the relationship is kept a secret, I can almost guarantee someone will find out about it. Dating a co worker can cause both of you your jobs as in the eye of the company it is inappropriate. I would acknowledge the fact that it isn't the best idea and move on from it.
