Well, why to you want to be friends with this woman, hopefully not just because she is black. Do the two of you have anything in common outside of the workplace? Similar likes in music, movies, books??? The most important thing in pursuing a friendship is the person, not the color, mutual respect and common interests. You mention that you seem to know some things about her personal life, well unless she told you specifically, don’t mention anything, you don’t want to be intrusive into her personal life and you don’t want to come off as knowing ‘how to manage her life better than she does’. The pursuit of an interracial friendship of any kind, begins when we are pursuing a friendship, not a ‘statment friend’. Understand that unless she is comfortable with you as a person, a sincere person, she may not wish to pursue a friendship with you. And most especially, if you do become friends and spend time outside of work together–never, ever, ever bring that into the workplace. In other words, base your friendship with this woman on the basis of any other friendship.
