Try a casual approach to things. Talk about your favorite resturant ever so casually and then add that you would like to take her there too. See how she reacts. If she is quick with a yes, then I would proceed to set a date. If she hesitates, backdown slowly.

Let's go to dinner at (name a place) Friday after work. What time can I pick you up? There's the start - it's still daylight, friendly - no strings. The next time (if you both desire) could be later at night and more intimate. If she refuses, then that's that - BUT you won't know until you ask. So what if you have to see her every day? You'll just know enough to keep the relationship simply professional and move on. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Get a group to go to dinner first and ask her to come along. If she is interested in you she will take the opportunity to spend time with you. If she so happens to be busy, don't take her wrong right off the bat. Ask her for another specific time right away. Such as "Sorry you can't make it tonight, what about Friday around 7pm?".
I don't think dating in the workplace is a good idea. If you do wind up dating and the relationship goes sour, you have to still see each other everyday.

Exactly. You answered your own question. What's the worst that could happen? You'd have to see her everyday. But the best thing is you'd get to have dinner with her and maybe more. I've been married a while so I don't remember what rejection feels like so I don't understand the hesitation. I say "go for it" if you like her!

If you know her situation and that she's single, then I don't see a problem with asking her out to dinner. Since you guys work together, and to cover your butt with HR and with seeing her daily, you should decoy it as a "friends-based" dinner first, and then see where it can take off from there.
If you don't know much about her personal life, I don't think it's a good idea to ask her out because she might not even like you in that way.

Actually, the worst would be is she says no then spreads it to all of her friends or she says yes and you find out later she is crazy. Try to become friends first. Dating co-workers can be a really bad move; you should at least have some idea of what you are getting into.

Take a chance, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If she says no then move on, and act just as you would with her before you ask her out.
Remember it won't be the end of the world.

Workplace dating is dodgy at best. You may not want to get involved in it. If you do start dating and breakup you'll have to still see each other every day.
