Actions speak louder than words.
Examine what you do to provide a successful work environment. Then look at what you do to put up obstacles in her path.
Talk is cheap. And secretaries have been on the short end of the payscale forever. Seriously consider a raise, or at least a bonus especially if there has been long projects, etc... Believe me, when I tell you, whatever you're paying her isn't enough.
I had a boss once who thanked me constantly. It didn't help as he was inconsiderate and a poor time manager.

In what way?
If she feels that she is not significant in her role in the company, then some encouragement and positive words can go a long way. Something to the effect of, "I really appreciate your effort on that last project, you are a great help." Note the use of "are" as opposed to "were".
Now if you are speaking of trying to date her, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL. The best rule of thumb is not to date someone that you work with. Unfair as it has become, a woman needs only to mention "sexual harassmant" and the guy becomes guilty until proven innocent. Her word against yours, and guess which side they take, if only to cover their own back sides from a potential lawsuit and bad publicity.
However, if you want to ask her out, a company party or other setting where there are several other members of the company is one way to chat with her in a more relaxed environment. You'll have to play it cool and see if she seems interested in you.

I take it you mean in a business sense
Next employment anniversary, secretary's day or what ever reasonable occasion
give her a day treatment to a spa or a gift certificate to a nice restaurant, or better still at a real fancy restraint arrange to have the meal for her and her other paid (by YOU) make sure she realizes you foot the bill even if the company covers it later - for instance the maitre'd could say yes Ms./Mr.>>>> , Mr/Ms. >>> has instructed us to take special care of you this evening.(tip the guy extra to make sure of this point.
With the following note:
Your experience and service are invaluable to our company and greatly assist me in doing my best for the company. On behalf of :name of outfit In appreciation please enjoy the : name of gift
sincerely : your name
long story short it will cost a few bucks

Easy. Tell her that bosses (like yourself) come & go, but good Secretarys have jobs forever. -And that SHE'S a good one. -She'll get the hint.

If you mean you would like her to be your girlfriend:
Ask her out politely for a nice dinner and see what it leads to.
If you mean you need her as your employee:
Give her a raise.

Three words if you value your business and house: forget about it.

if you're not talking in terms of romantically, but actually needing her for the job description, a raise or a bonus is always appreciated!
