I disagree with most of the posters here. If she is not married or involved, what's the big deal about eventually asking her out? If you two hit it off, just make sure you keep your romantic relationship totally on the down low. Let's face it, probably 20% of people meet their S.O.'s at work.
In general, I am opposed to office romances because it creates gossip. But over the years I have known countless people who carried on LONG affairs at work and were so discrete, no one knew until years later.
So there is this girl I work with, who I am absolutely infatuated with. We are good friends in the office, and have hung out together outside the office. The thing I totally dig about her, is that she is always happy, naturally kind of goofy, and we can just play off each other forever. She would be the perfect girl for me to date.
But since we work together, I know I shouldn't act on these feelings. I think she may also feel that way too. But for some reason, I have the biggest crush on this girl and I can't get her off my mind.
wowsers, i just spilled my coffee all over my keyboard. pfew....
OP - go for it dude. The worst that can happen, is if things dont work out, it may get little awkward working together, but even that isnt a given. The worst thing you can do is do nothing and regret it for the rest of your life.

Someone help!!!
Why don't you just ask her out? Maybe it will work out, maybe not. You'll never know unless you try.
This sounds exactly like how I met my spouse - at work, where we were always happy and goofy and played off each other. We each had a crush on the other. Have you not seen "The Office" and what a great, playful relationship Pam and Jim have!
I guess the big reason I'm scared to actually try asking her out is because in my work environment, A LOT of us are good friends, and we hang out a lot even outside of the office, so if I get rejected, then it's going to be awkward most likely not between just her and I, but between a lot of us.
And to the poster who said, "There's always someone better," this is just not like that. This girl is easily a "Plain Jane" but has a personality that just makes me head over heals for her.
To quote the great Tallahassee, it's time to nut up or shut up. If you really like her that much, make a move. A lifetime of wondering what if is far worse than finding another job
dude. I have asked co-worker out before and got totally rejected... absolutely no big deal.
if it gets awkward, it is because you make it feel awkward so don't make it awkward.
besides how much is your job paying you?
is it worth a possible life-time of happiness?
start inviting her out to happy hour and when the moment opens, make a pass at her. yeah, that means a kiss.
