Or maybe he can fill her in on the relationship statuses of all the other guys in the office...

Just because he gets to her first, doesn't mean he gets dibs. She might have her eye on another guy or two!

He asked how I would feel. I explained how I would feel. You may feel differently.

I think your approach is good- being friendly without showing any romantic interest, especially since you wouldn't want to put her in an uncomfortable situation. The coffee sounds good too. Again, every girl is different and some may take it as you coming on to her, but as long as you're not being flirty, it could be seen as a friendly, welcoming gesture. I personally would like it, regardless if I had interest in the guy or not.

Take it from a corporate veteran of 10 years

"Really hot new girls" who join your team are:
a) Married
OR
b) Have a boyfriend
OR
c) happen to be lesbian

If she is none of the above, she joins another team in the same office space where you wish at least once a day she were in yours

Be sure to tell her you like her shoes.

What's the policy on dating?

Just know that being nice is not enough to get her to like you other than a friend (Ooooh no!)

Your post to me reeks, of the fact that you will come on too strong.
Often neither gender likes that. Yeah and if shes that hot as you say, chances are she is already taken.

I don't think it's coming on too strong at all. He's asking about being friendly and helping her on her first day, there's nothing wrong with that. It's something a female co-worker could do and it'd be ok.

You're stupid for being interested in a woman at work.

But if you want to get falsley accused of sexual harrassment and risk losing your job, then don't let me stop you

Those of you who are telling this guy to show interest in this girl at work are trying to get this guy fired.

Unfortunately, women are much more secure in the workplace than men.

If you know what's best for you, find somewhere else to meet women bro.

I once worked somewhere where there was this fine lady who definitely liked me. I chose no to pursue it because NO woman is worth me losing my job.
