First, before you ask anybody out, you should make sure they are single.
Secondly, if you're worried about how you will handle working with this guy if he rejects your invitation, you would do well to consider how you will work with him if he does except your invitation. What if you fall in love with him and he breaks it off with you? How will you work with him then?

I am in the same situation. First of all just come out and ask him if he's got a g/f, or if you dont feel comfortable doing that maybe ask a co-worker if they know. If he rejects you then that will make it seem a bit odd at work. What im going to do if i get rejected is just avoid all conversations with this girl at work and act as if i don't know her. I mean what else can you really do if you get rejected by a co-worker? It's emberassing and makes you feel bad. However you can't be afraid to take a chance. You have one life to live, so go out and take a risk. You could be missing out on something good if you don't ask him. Goodluck to you.

Wow, how times have changed! I remember when it was considered a very bad idea to date anyone from the workplace, but the conventional wisdom has changed.
It is now thought that dating people from work is a good thing, because you see the person as his or her normal self, and sometimes at his or her worst. Furthermore, we often have shared values and dreams and hopes with people doing the same kind of work as us.
The only exception, of course, is when one person reports to the other in a supervisor/employee relationship. Then it's a dumb idea.
I say go for it. Ask him if he is seeing anyone--not if he's married. Then ask him out. My former workplace in Canada was 90% women. Many of my colleagues liked me very much, and our work was so close that the colleagues often felt a kind of family love for each other. That's not to say many of them would have thanked you for a date with me. Don't feel rejected just because someone turns you down for a date. The person is not your type, or for whatever reason is not interested. There will be plenty who are interested, IF you keep your confidence up.

Just be casual. Ask him out for lunch, and if he says sorry I have a gf, then say cool, and invite her along, or say no big maybe some other time then. Dont go complete flat out akwardness on his butt, just play it cool. If he says yes, but you fear its just a friend date, then while your out to lunch get to know him. There are many ways to have a office relationship and avoid akwardness if things go sour. Its all about the attitude! Good Luck!

It is never a good idea to date a co-worker. If the relationship ends, it causes too much stress in the workplace. Other employees will feel awkward also. This is the reason that most companies do not allow interoffice relationships.

You won't no till you ask. And then again what if you do date then it doesn't work out? And you have to work with him??? Dating people you work with is very touchy subject, good luck to you.
