There's this gorgeous new girl at work and I really want to ask her out, but I don't know how to approach her. We don't always work in the exact same place because my company works in different parts of a large soccer stadium.
First of all, do you think it's a smart idea in the first place to ask out a co-worker, and secondly what's the best way to ask her on a date without making her feel uncomfortable or disliking me? How can I improve my chances of her saying yes?
Improving your confidence would be the first place to start. Then go after the babe.

This is a hit or miss. It could end well or very badly depending on how you approach. I would definitely engage in communications with her through forms of emails or others but it must be first related to work. Don't jump right in and ask her out which will creep her out. Start slow and moving at a slow pace day by day...until she gets comfortable with you and know you're a nice and professional gentlemen. Then move from there.
Dating someone you work with is one of the worst things you can do in your professional life. Work and play need to be kept as separate as possible.
I'd be curious to know what the ages are of the people that met their spouses at work. Having grown up in the sexual harassment era, dating a coworker has never been a consideration.

Pursuing this woman by email is about the worst thing you could do... ready made evidence for HR in the event things go south.

email on work related...when you get to know someone at work...you just talk about work first... not asking out through using emails.
no no no no no. There's other fish in the sea. Even if it starts out innocent...........if you're calling her "the gorgeous new girl," you're obviously way interested even at the beginning.
This just has disaster written all over it.
Fell for a gorgeous hunk at work, guess what? He was "dating" several other gals at the same time. Yikes and yikes. Total womanizer.
I did come out of the mess with a little dignity. Would be great if we could meet someone at work and fall in love, Except it is bad when one partner is in lust and one is in love.
You have to be a brave soul and have nerves of steel to survive a workplace romance. (If it goes bad, really bad.)
So I would have to agree....NO NO NO NO.
Too bad, seems like it would be a great place to meet that certain someone. Remember Adam and Eve?
Ah, temptation, get out of there and run, take a walk, jog do something!!!!!
Can't believe I am saying this on CD; this is a great topic, makes me feel a little better about my blunder!!!

I simply don't understand this and it isn't just the workplace. I see women do this all the time. They go for the most gorgeous guy walking and it's like they don't think, "hmmmmmmm...I think he looks gorgeous, fairly certain I'm not the only one."
