OP, you have to rise to the challenge and ask her if she would like to go out sometime. If you don't do it with this one, then who are you going to do it with in the future? Nobody, because you will cower every single time.

Usually it is at the employee lounge or if we cross paths in the back office. There is too much close-knittedness to our company and it would be the death spiral for me if others got wind of my interest in her and embarked upon the gossip route. My heart aches but I know intellectually I have to let this go. I have gotten as crazy as to look at her facebook page and I feel like I am snooping into her life and that is not how I want to be. I would just want her to know I think she is most beautiful women I have ever seen but there is no way of doing that without coming across as a creep. How does one get over a crush?
It's much much much much worse to not even try at all.

Believe it or not. I would rather get rejected then wonder what if?

There's has been a few opportunities that I have lost recently which I could have pretty had a good chance of dating them but I was too much of a wuss to deal with the possibility of rejection and now I'm kicking myself for it. So now I'm learning to approach.

My advice: grow a pair, puff out your chest and don't take it personally if she rejects you.

The best remedy is to talk to more women at one time so that way you don't become over obsessed with one and it may fail.

If it makes a person "uncomfortable", then it's considered "harassment".

In this day and age of crazy stalkers, the "secret admirer" thing needs to stay back in the 1800s or wherever it first originated.
There are many OTHER things and traditions that should stay back in the 1800s or medieval times as well.

I hate rejection, and take it very personally for years. Which is why I hardly ever date. It takes so much for me to get over breaking up. And I hate rejecting others.

Porn+hand=release
Heavy leg day in the gym=endorphin substitute for sex.
Fullpads football/icehockey/driving 130+mph=adrenalin substitute for sex.

repeat until frustration of rejection is over.

If it doesn't work, drinking is the solution for all insoluble problems.

If you don't give yourself a chance then you are already rejecting yourself to begin with.

For some rejecting themselves is better than someone else rejecting them. It's a control thing. Don't want to give anyone else that satisfaction and power of turning you down.
