Never, and I mean NEVER, get involved with coworkers. You are there to work, not make friends, not date, not chit chat. This isn't high school where shit goes bad but you still have to go. The moment shit goes even a tiny bit south in the real world they will get rid of you. Don't risk your lively hood over anyone.

Don't just ask her out. Do a bit of talk and get along with her. Does she even know you? If she likes you, you will notice it.
I se no problem in getting friendly or even more with coworkers. But I live in Europe, so maybe that is a cultural thing.

Start with a non-date date, something that could be just two workmates hanging out.

"I was thinking of trying that new sandwich shop for lunch. Want to test it with me?"

You can easily suggest a coffee break together, talk in your office about work related stuff and then slowly talk about other things to test the vibe, you can later suggest to have lunch together. Is she having lunch with a certain group? Maybe join this group to learn more about her. She will notice you're appearing in her vicinity all of a sudden and react accordingly.

Depends on how attached you are to the job.

Honestly, don't. Asking out a co-worker is a minefield. Think about what it'll be like trying to work with her immediately after a really bad break up.

Even if you aren't attached don't do it. There's a reason why every work place has rules on dating. It never turns out good and you'll lose out on putting it on a resume for the next job you'll need after you get fired.

There is no advice to win her over, this has to happen organically.
However, as per the "not make work awkward" thing, it all depends on how you approach it.
Don't "confess" feelings, don't make grand gestures, don't make it a bigger thing than it has to be. You simply think she's attractive, and you'd like to have a drink with her to see whether you might actually like her. That's the message you need to convey.

"Hey, there's this concert next weekend I'm going to. Want to come, maybe catch a drink before?"
If she says no to that, it shouldn't be awkward (unless you act hurt about it, of course).

My coworker asked me out once when we were headed to lunch together. I simply brushed it off with a joke and we get along splendidly five years later. She's got a kid now. It's not a big deal.

My previous advice >>33344142 still stands, only go for it if you don't care about the job.
This applies even more in case she says yes than if she says no btw.

Mine doesn't. Really depends on the job, man.

Again, depends. If you have the kind of resume that makes getting a job a struggle, sure, be careful about that kind of shit.
If you can get a new job with ease, why should you care about any particular gig and lose a chance at (even temporary) happiness?
Careers aren't everything.

I really doubt OP has the safety nets or lives in an area where jobs are plentiful. If the odds aren't in your favor don't ever go for it.

>careers aren't everything!

Yeah because people without income are so desirable and people who work wagie jobs are swimming in love and luxury. I'm also sure your next employer or gf is gonna love knowing you got fired from your job because of relationship issues.

Yes, of course. I don't need to read any further.
