<human>: So I have been working at this department store for about two years. About a year ago, I met this guy named Steven. We didn't really talk much but he was a super nice and funny person to talk to. I didn't even realize that I liked him until he asked me out on a date. We had a great time and went on a few more though we never went as far as hand holding.

One night we were on a date and he asked me what I thought of him and what this could turn into. I told him that I liked him back but I was moving to college and I didn't want to do that to him in case I couldn't come back every weekend. He reluctantly agreed. I definitely felt regret after saying that to him.

At my going away party, he came and gave me a card which I unfortunately couldn't read due to my mother throwing it out. I asked him what he wrote and he said don't worry about it.

Almost a year has past and I'm back at that same job and he's still there. While we can't talk as much as we used to because he's a shift leader of his own department, we have decent conversations even if they're short.

I really want to ask him to hang out with me but I don't even know how to approach him about it. I have a mild case of anxiety so whenever I consider on what to do, I feel a mild anxiety attack going on. I know the worst he can do is say no and I really want to know how to do it or else I feel like I constantly wonder, "what if?"

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Dated a co worker for a bit in the past and I want to know to ask him out without psyching myself out.
