I've been performing interviews for the past couple of week to hire people for our department.

Two days ago, I interviewed this attractive and intelligent young lady for the position. It was love at first CV... lol, not really, but I found her quite interesting, easy to talk to and more importantly, I noticed we actually have a lot in common (she's into gaming, 3D, and all kind of geeky things, what's not to like?).

She didn't quite fit in the profile we are after though, so she didn't get the job (hey, I had to be professional and put together the best team possible), however, I can't seem to forget about her.

Given I got her contact info out of her CV and we met during a job interview, would it be unethical for me to use this contact information and give her a call, asking for a date/get to know? It just doesn't feel right.

What do you all think? don't be lightheaded about it, I don't want this lady to think it's a common practice in our company to do such thing.
