So the guy cant even think about approaching her without thinking its harrasment? Besides its only harrasment if she doesnt like him (just the way it is), if she's feeling him then its all good

Well, we talked earlier today for a bit, she was here filling out her forms and stuff to work here and I'm fairly certain she starts working tomorrow. She's really nice and so far I'm the only person there she has talked to (excluding our supervisor). Well we work in a job where it's kind of complicated as to what to do, and so I'm thinking about helping her on her first day, showing her how to do things and teaching her the rules and stuff.

I'm just going to be friendly and not like flirty or anything, how does that sound? I'd especially like a girl's opinion, how would you feel if a male co-worker was being friendly and helping you out on your first day of work? Also, I'm thinking about maybe buying her a coffee for her on her first day, does that sound like a good idea too? Please reply
Just treat her like a living, breathing co-worker, not a life support system for a pair of boobs.

And DO NOT...I repeat DO NOT...buy her coffee, a doughnut, or anything else. What? Are you an idiot? She's going to be on her guard for exactly that kind of stuff. Here she is trying to make a good first impression and you're already hitting on her? What on earth makes you think she's going to be receptive, even if she likes the cut of your jib?

Be helpful. Be friendly. But don't loiter around her workstation, awed by her transcendent beauty. Women can detect that kind of nonsense in an instant. And always proceed with serious caution before dating a co-worker of any description. Unless she is your soulmate for life, unless the bonds that attract you two are obvious, I'd hold off. Because if an office romance goes bust, it does more than make the two of you miserable. It could potentially ruin both of your careers.

Say he approaches her and she refuses to go out with him. Anything after that it is harrassment.

fair enough, but it seemed like in your post that you already assumed this would be the outcome without him doing anything

JMO, as a female I have been harrased in more than one occasion and it has been never funny.

Maybe this is not that situation. Hopefully

I am not hot. You can say I am exotic (racially) and some not that smart people believe women from my etnicity are "wild in bed"

Saying "you are hot" is not harrassing.

Harrassment is if you see me not making an effort to be friends with you, and you keep staring at me, breathing really hard on my presence, following me around, trying to smell me, etc. for months!!!! Specially in a job situation.

But just saying you are hot is not harrassment (I am not, trust me. )
