Girls in the forum, I wanted to ask whether you would find the following thing I'm thinking of creepy or not:There's this girl whom I find to be really attractive whom I've met (or rather come to know of) as part of occasional workplace meetings. I hadn't really talked to her until a few days ago, when I, along with some other workmates (both male and female) asked her for her phone number...this was strictly business, mind.What I was thinking of is...what if i just texted her through whatsapp (where she could see who I am) out of the blue and told her I think she's cute (or something along those lines) and would like to go on a date with her...you know...just be forthcoming? Keep in mind that there's nothing on the way of rapport between us and that there really aren't many chances to build some...I've never really done this but hey, to paraphrase a common saying, those who don't take risks never lose but they also never win...

 Don't do it.
It's not that is is creepy it's just plain wrong. IF you get to work with her more you can start some small talk and see if she is interested, but don't play games.
WiseOwle is completely right.

 Wiseowl gives solid advice. Exactly man up. Ask her out. Even if she gave permission to text her for non bus purposes wat youd be doing is wussy n she wud see that right away n prob either ignore you or tell you off.

Don't use the number for anything except for the purpose it was given. It may not only be creepy; but unethical and unprofessional. She could complain, and have evidence to back it up.
Man-up and ask the lady out to lunch. Get acquainted. Let her get to know you, and allow yourself to gather more nerve.
Then ask her out. Off-premises of course; just so you don't violate any office policies.
Now, I'll leave it to the ladies.

She will be under the impression that u got her phone number under the pretense that its work related when infact its for a total different reason. She may not be pleased so why not ask her in person. If u guys had exchanged numbers to be friends n hang out would be one. Good luck with ur efforts
