<human>: So in April Of this year the first girl I ever fell in live with passed away. It hit me really hard. Since I have always been insecure about how i look and being with girls and such. So I've been slowly moving on because crying and being upset isn't healthy. But I am taking it day by day so I'm not really forcing to forget about her. 

So like a few months ago my job hired this really cute girl. Every since the first day that we worked together it seemed to me like we hit it off. I would talk to every once in a while pretty much to show interest but also to make sure I'm not always around her and being all "thirsty" i guess you would say. Then like a few weeks ago she invited me to her house for a birthday party. And on going their I quickly realized that I was the only white kid at the party. (She's Spanish) to make a long story short I like her and since Ive never been good at figuring out if she likes me back. 

Is there advice you would have on figuring that out? And if yes then how would I go on getting her number. We both work together on thanksgiving would it be a good time there? Anything would help thanks.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Since losing the first the girl I ever loved I have become a little rusty with women and need advice on how to figure out if my co-worker likes me and if yes then the next step on getting to know her.
