Dating : Training wheels?

Dating : Training wheels?

Hey guys. Hope you are all super today.

So I just need a bit of advice. I’m M24 and I work in logistics. However I often find myself working with this chick from finance. She is very sophisticated, smart, and fairly attractive. However she is not really my type 🙃.

She has dropped hints like crazy, I just sort of pretend to not notice and be oblivious. My coworkers rag on me for being such a dbag because they say she’s like crazy over me, which sorry of scares me a bit like psycho wise, but she is quite a confident woman.

So in order to be polite I’ve invited her out together with a friend of mine just to show to show I’m open to ‘friendship’. She’s always interested in what I’m doing etc.

So now I’ve been thinking, I don’t really have much experience with women (never had a relationship that lasted longer than 6 months). Come to think of it, never really had a close female friend. Which brings me to my question,do you guys think its a good idea for me to try and develop a friendship with this chick? I’m not even looking for friends with benefits or romantic relationship. I was thinking of using this experience as more for developing my interpersonal skills, confidence with woman,etc.
I hope she will be open to just being friends, if not then life goes on…(oh….now i see that it looks like I just want to use her for personal gain….is that such a bad thing?😰)

Let me know what you guys think.
