Ask her out on a date. Tell her as much sweet things as you can, if she is receptive, make a move on her. If these things dont happen on the first date, move on.

You are playin with fire dating some one from work, i hope you know.

A couple shots of Jack Daniels should do the trick!

You sound pretty young though so maybe just a sip for you!

It's always fun to read something I wrote 6 months ago.

I am no good at game playing or trying to be something I'm not. When I ask a lady out it's simple:

"Helen, I want to go see the VanTrak exhibit at the city art gallery. Would you like to come with me and perhaps catch Happy Hour afterwards?"

Sometimes, it works! :=)

Kinda late. But I'd be straight up when I ask her out.

All the relationships I've had were based on being involved in the same activity and then recognizing the mutual interest we had in each other. No one asked the other out. We just began doing things together. Two people who are well-suited for each other, are much more likely to meet in this way, than by one person making a move on another, when they may have little in common.

When I've started relationships with women, we might have had classes together at a university, worked at the same place or exercised at the same fitness club or running track. A couple of times, we lived together in the same house, along with several other single people. Sometimes, it was because we had mutual friends and found ourselves in each other's company. One amazing evening, a woman and I had been asked to help move some friends to a new apartment. We looked at each other and without a moment's hesitation, we paired up and carried things together. Before the evening was over, we were a couple. We both knew it and neither had to say a word about it. This natural, unforced way to start relationships, is the way our species has done it since the beginning. Our ancient ancestors didn't ask one another out, they just recognized the obvious attraction and went at it.
With all due respect, I'd say the majority of relationships have happened with someone asking out the other person. This approach may have worked for you, but highly doubt it'd work for most. Hell, if I took that approach, I'd be single for life, lol.

And lol at comparing our ancestors to us humans today. Apples and oranges.

I have not approached anyone since we still had rotary phones and switchboards.
To say it might be scary is an understatement.

I have heard though that the best pick up line is "hi, my name is ......." If she is not interested, I expect to crash and burn. But if she is interested, hopefully she will help me keep the conversation going. And we will live happily ever after.

Being straightforward and down to earth is a good thing. The heroics come later.
