We work together in the same dept. in side by side cubicles. She is single and I am seperated/divorcing. We speak all the time about outher things then work. I have not been dating or single for 14 yrs and I am not sure if I am getting the right signals from her. She smiles and stops me all the time. How do I go about asking her out with out making a fool of myself.

Making a fool of yourself is the fun part of asking girls out. You think they are too good for you and you think that you can't approach them and then you come up with an elaborate way to ask them and then she's like "sure." And you are completely blown away by the fact that she is totally knows how you are stressing for days about asking her out (they have a gift dawg).
Ask her to hang out at like happy hour then a movie and then tell her that you enjoyed your time with her and would like to spend more one-on-one time with her. At the very least you'll boost her ego for making her realize (by you asking her out) that you think she's amazing. At the end of the day, isn't that a great gift to a friend?

I have to say me and some friends have all tryed the dating people at work and sorry to say but it sucks...it never works out espesially after the break up, thats just uncomfortable having to see her everyday. If it was me I would ask her out and let her know that your not comfortable dating someone at work but maybe u could be friends with benifits and vow not to have feelings get in the way. If one of you quites then you can start a relationship.

When it's your lunch break ask her if she'd like to go out to a cafe/restaurant nearby and eat with you. Or on Friday before you both leave ask if she'd like to go out to dinner or a movie or something after work with you.

I would probably flirt a bit and see how she handles it. But maybe, if you are like going to lunch, ask if she would like to come along, make it casual, so there isn't much of a chance that it could be awkward.

Just ask her to dinner but dont be too forward or jackassish about it. Just say to her "I just wanted to know if you wanted to go out to dinner with me sometime?" and if she says no then just be cool about it. If she says yes, be cool about it too. Act like it isnt the biggest deal in the world and you might be able to land a date with her. If you get upset if she says no, then it can be ruined and she may be mad about it.

just be cool and yourself and don't jump the gun so quickly.. should never mix business and pleasure.. it could backfire on you.. she might just consider u as a realy great friend.. don't want to ruin that if u react to soon.. just take it stride and see what happens.. or one day ask her to do lunch without seeming its a date... see how it goes from there..

Just ask her if maybe she would like to have dinner sometime, or go out and maybe see a movie.

ask her out for a drink and then go from there. as her how she feels about you and you, and keep it friendly.
