I made a big mistake asking out my co-worker last night

[DonJuan11]

I asked her with a text message, so what excuse can I make up? So it won't be so awkward working with her now, I was gonna say that was my little sister texting you last night not me, do you think that would work?

Screw that. She'll know you are lying and it's saying your ego can't handle it. What if she said "yes" to your text message? Would you still say your sister had text messaged her and it was a mistake?

You have to give us more specifics. What time and day did you message her? What did it say? Did it say "I love you, please go out with me?" Or did it say "I know a cool club where we can dance the night away, pick you up at 7."

I'm guessing it was more of the former.

Best advice is indeed to act like nothing happened. Don't make a drama of it. But i understand that this is difficult in the beginning. Ignore her a littlebit, stay friendly to her and don't start talking about what happened. And no, tell no lies to her.
Asking out a co worker is ok to me. But did you do it out of the blue? Make some connection first.

It'll be awkward whether you make an excuse or not. I have a better idea! Friend zone her!!!
