Transition from co-worker to date, is this right?

[Mydish1]

So over the past week I've started noticing this girl on the floor, lets call her M. Anytime we pass each other we make EC and smile (and say hi). Today she walked pass my office and she glanced over to see if i was in, i know cause i looked out and well...we saw each other. Later in the day we literally bump into each other from different angles, we both smiled, made EC and apologized.

 

Everytime she looks at me there's this twinkle in her eye. Anyway things just kept getting better, my supervisor came iwth her into my office and did the introduction. (she's off for all of next week, i might be working with her on some projects)

The whole time she was smiling and we had good EC.

 

Anyway before i get lectured, i know co-worker situations can get icky...But ill be leaving the company in about a couple weeks. However, before that i want to hook up with her. If im correct her cubicle is outside offices of other employees...so trying to mix a romantic situation within the workplace flow could prove to be difficult.

 

If there are people around, i was thinking of getting her extension doing some fluff talk and invite her to lunch or coffee after work....if there arent, perfect ill do it in person...and if things go as planned, i might kiss close after the date...however she's still my coworker and wonder if it would be too soon? But if i dont make my move then she'll think im not interested.

 

Although she may appear interested, i have no clue if she's single or not.

But expereince has taught me that women who are taken usually do not display signs of interest such as hers...so i might be in luck.

 

Anyone with a similar experience or insight or advice on this situation would really be helpful now...

Ask her out before you leave. Why mess with the fluff talk. No matter what it's still going to be yes or no.

I've learned that even if a girl smiles at you, it could mean nothing. The only sure way to find out her intentions is to ask her out. As for dating a coworker, it depends on your personality. If you can easily forgive and forget and remain friends then it's easy. Otherwise be prepared for some awkward moments.

First....find out if she is single. I think that is kinda important.

 

Second, strike up a conversation with her. Find out if your feelings go a little deeper than her looks.

 

Third, don't assume a smile is more than a smile. We interpret expressions and looks based many times on our own feelings.

 

So, if she is single and she interests you after a conversation ask her out for lunch to discuss the project or to give her help. Then see if it progresses to a dinner date.

First off i have no clue of finding out if she's single, the best i could do is look at her ring finger..or ask straightout.

 

second off, All we've done so far is make great EC with smile....I honestly have no clue where to start off a conversation or where to begin.

 

I spoke iwht my supervisor yesterday and found out i may not be working with her as much as i had hoped...just an easy quick project.

Also striking up a non-work related convo face to face may not be easy as her cubicle is in front of other offices. And near my office has other cubicles around also, in addition to another supervisor.

 

I figure i could get her # extension and go from there...but it could prove to be awkward doing it over the phone. I know i need to get a convo going before i ask her out...i cant just walk up to her out of the blue and say "hey lets go for coffee after work", it'll just be awkward.

 

But what i've noticed is she's very shy around me, which just makes me shy in return.
