Is it worth risking the embarassment if he says no?

Just ask him, don't be shy, if the answer is no then fine, just say OK maybe some other time and walk away head held high, I bet he says yes though, it could be the start of a beautiful relationship, go for it girl, I did 25 years ago and been married to my hubby for 22 years, best thing I ever did, good luck.

Anytime anyone asks someone out they take a chance on being turned down which doesn't mean that they look like an idiot but they might kind of feel embarrassed. Since you talk a lot you should know whether or not he already has a girlfriend. You should also have some idea of what he likes to do outside of school so next time you're talking to him just say, Would you like to go (to a movie, to a game, to my place for wild sex, or whatever) with me sometime? You should have an idea of if you will want to meet him somewhere or pick him up. Remember that if you ask him out you are responsible to pay for everything. You also need to be ready for him to say no and he may say he's busy because he really is busy.

Two things:
1. Be careful of starting an office romance. If you start dating and thing go horribly wrong, do you really want to work with him?
2. If you do decide to disregard the working relationship, then I say go for it. Life is full of risks. You're never an idiot or a failure for having tried. If he says no, he says no. It's not the end of the world. As for how you say it, just say, "Hey John, how would you like to get some dinner Friday night?" And then pay LOL! If you do the asking, you do the paying :) Coffee might be a better start, or lunch, though. Maybe ask if he wants to grab a light lunch and an afternoon movie the following weekend? Oh, also - make sure he doesn't have a girlfriend first!
Good luck!

OMG, I FEEL THE SAME WAY SOMETIMES! and its hard for a girl to make the first move, so try this: well try to get alone with him, start talking about little things that you know you two have in common or can flirt about. but dont move too fast, he will know you're too eager & you'll look desperate (LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO!) start making eye contact and look a little flirty. as time grows more start playing around a little and make a little physical contact (NOTHING SEXUAL), like holding his hand or maybe lean on him. and when you feel like hes not going to ask first, later pop the question like do you like me? (kinda middle schoolish i know) but ask it in a cute way, and see what happens.

Don't ask him out, tell him that HE simply has to take YOU out to (some place you want to go) because nobody else will go with you!
make the last bit sound like a joke but imply that you really want to go. you'll be able to tell by his reaction whether he'd never in a million years/ wants to because he's up for a laugh/ or would love to because he feels the same way. if he says no and you get the vibe that he's uncomfortable, just laugh and say you'll bring your neighbour/boss/cat/ugliest bloke at work or whatever.

Tough question. First, the normal caveat: Don't fish off the company pier. Second, if you're going to do it anyways, I always suggest starting small. If you end up in a professional discussion on some topic (create one if one doesn't happen naturally) you can always finish off with an invite to coffee. It's easier to use the work talk as a bridge to the date talk than to simply come up and ask him cold, IMO.

Well if you like him then best do it sooner rather than later.
The alternative is to wonder what would have resulted if you had asked him for the rest of you life!
Not sure on the how...girls can always make it plain. You can always say you're afraid...but if the answer is no then please just take it as a complement etc...
bless!

It depends on if the job is worth losing. As a rule of thumb its never a good idea to "dip your pen in the comapany ink" I know a couple that started dat at the job I was at(a decade ago) they got married and are still married. I've also seen many...MANY failures happen. If you do get a date but it goes wrong, things could get ugly. its best not to mess with coworkers.

Like the girl says - bad idea.
Office romances are never a good thing, and there's a big risk you'll look desperate when everyone finds out you asked a co-worker out. And they will find out.
If you're hell bent on it go for a casual group thing - 'We're going down the pub at lunch time, you're welcome to come along'. It's a starting point.

Don't ask him out, ask him to stop for coffee. If he is willing to stop for coffee, you can talk about different things to see if he is interested and interesting.
Remember if things do not work out when you are dating, you could end up with problems at work if you have to work in the same department.
