I'll think about itPage 1 of 1    
I recently asked a woman at my workplace to go out with me and she said ''I will think about it''. If she decides that she wants to is it likely she would contact me to say so or do I need to occasionally keep asking her? We work in different areas of the company not side by side so I don't see her that often.

You've made your interest known straightforwardly like grownups should.
Best to let her get back to you.
"I'll think about it" is frequently a "no" from someone too tender-hearted (or chicken-hearted) to say "thank you, no" to your face.
Kind of like "don't call us; we'll call you" sometimes does mean they will call you -- but I think not usually.

Ehhh sorry man but "I'll think about it" Isn't assuring. Either she's interested or not. Don't wait up for her

I would give it a week or two....i know it willl be hard but you have to show her you're not desperate....even if you happen to see her since you asked, wait for those two weeks before you ask again.

Woman that say i'll think about it is letting men know that yeah i'm a little interestesd but you have to prove a little to me, but the first thing you have to prove is that you are not a staulker.

Ouch. Polite brush off, probably. Or ambivalent about you at best and not worth pursuit.

Unless she was just being playful to tease, she is not interested in you.

Since I have no idea what you or that woman are like, I'll just go by what you wrote:

Her answer is no, but she might change her mind if she has nothing to do. If you keep asking her, though, her answer will be NO.

"I will think about it'' is a far cry from "Yes, I'd love to!"

"I'll think about it" is a no... if she was interested, she'd make it clear.

I'm thinking she isn't that interested but maybe she has worries about dating a coworker so she actually IS thinking about it. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

^^^ That would be my guess, too. It's not likely that she'll decide to do it - and frankly, I wouldn't advise dating a co-worker anyway, even if you don't work in close proximity.

It could be she's worried about office politics, or it could be she doesn't want to hurt feelings.

Either way it sounds like she is reluctant to dive into exploring something that could be difficult. I'd wait and see if she approaches you in future; otherwise know you expressed your interest so you don't have to wonder what if. :)

Although there can be some exceptions, this often means no. As stated by others, perhaps she doesn't want to date a co-worker.

"I'll think about it" is pretty much a no.

This usually indicates as no. But, give her the benefit of the doubt and wait a couple of weeks.

To date somebody from works, if this is where it leads with the initial yes, may be something she feels uncomfortable in doing. If it doesn't work out, it could jeopardize her position. I'm not sure how you got a hold of her if you didn't have contact with her within the point of a working day.

I agree with the above posters. It most likely means "no". The fact that she didn't say "no, thanks" outright might be due to the fact that she might have said "yes" if you didn't work for the same employer.

If I were in that situation and were really interested, I'd get the my flirt engine finely tuned. If I saw her around, I'd walk to her, confident and with a smile and, as I walk by her, looking in her eyes I'd say "I really like women that think!" as I walk past her (don't even stop). I'd keep eye contact just long enough to see her reaction. If she smiles... there is a seed there that needs occasional watering. If there is no smile, forget it!.

She probably wanted to think about the whole dating a coworker thing.

Like others have already said, you have indicated an interest, if she doesnt come back with anything, take it as she is not willing to date you, for whatever reason.

Ask her: Do you think positively or negatively?
