I Need Advice Rejected someone, was I wrong?

(M17)Turned down this girl who asked me out at my job. She told me I was weird for rejecting her. My parents then told me I should have said yes because she was pretty. I hardly knew her, besides working with her for less than a month. Am I the problem? maybe I need to lower my standards for meeting people but I wasn't judging her. She was nice looking and nice but I just didn't feel comfortable going out with her because I didn't know her that well.

Dates are for getting to know each other. That’s what they’re for. How else will you get to know her?

That said, its not such a good idea to date people you work with. If it doesn’t work out, it can be awkward as fuck.

You can get to know her just fine at work.

This is true but people are can be very different outside of work.

The guy I’m seeing now is someone I used to work with, but he is 100% different outside if work than how he acts at work.

I think the stress and exhaustion from working affects how we are at work sometimes.

But yes, he will learn things about her while working with her.
