It's not a good sign that she ignores you when other people are around. I would just be cordial but forget any ideas about asking her out.
(Also, those copies aren't "free." LOL She'd think differently if it were coming right out of her paycheck.)
she doesnt ignore me when I talk to her even though there are colleagues around her, she is just very different when someone else is around. she seems busy and very professional but when no one is around she smiles a lot and she is extra nice.

I once asked her if she knows any piano schools nearby for a 27-28 age group and that made her think why I asked for that specific age group since I look younger than my age. so the next day she asked
her: do you work?
me: no I am doing my masters why are you asking is it because i look younger than my age
her: how old are you?
me: 28
her: damn you dont look 28 you look younger
we usually talk here and there but what I noticed that she avoid me and ignores me when surrounded by her colleagues but she is the opposite when she is alone? why is that?
please note that I am not assuming that she is into me. I am aware that receptionists are supposed to be friendly.

sorry for my poor english. I am french. i didnt know how to appropriately get my ideas into words so bear with me. what I said lately is more correct
as I said she doesnt ignore me when I talk to her even though there are colleagues around her, she is just very different when someone else is around. she seems busy and very professional but when no one is around she smiles a lot and she is extra nice.

It sounds like she is just being relaxed when you're alone, and more professional in front of others.
It's hard to tell sometimes, but "friendly" doesn't always mean "romantic interest."
no I am not assuming she is interested. she could be interested or not intersted thats why i am here
thank you though for your opinion I appreciate it
This reminds of the time a friend/co-worker was telling me our receptionist was being flirty with him and was giving him all the green lights. He said he was going to ask her out on a date sometime. I brushed it off, thinking he was just joking. Well, a week later, the head of my HR department called me in to have a word with me .
Unbeknownst to me, our so-called "flirty" receptionist filed harassment against my friend
I wont go into details, but I had to let my friend go, because we have an absolute zero-tolerance for harassment.
I spoke to my friend afterwards, and I came to a conclusion, that all the "flirty" stuff was manufactured in his head. He took her over-friendliness to be flirty behavior. So not the case. Not even close.

Tread lightly, OP.
yeah it could be all in my head. but if I ask her out once and if she says no then i will leave her alone for sure. your friend might have been persistent when she rejected him thats why she filed a harassment complaint

There was a bit more to it, but that's what basically happened.
You might want to reconsider getting involved with anyone at your workplace, OP. But if you must, be respectful. Which I think, you will be.
*Looks in to crystal ball* I cant see sheet bro...well, other than she had Mexican for lunch and has the sheets right now...
look more may be you can spot something that can help me
