How Do I Tell A Co Worker I Like Them?

There is a woman at work that I really like. I have only been with the company a couple of months, and we have never really spoken due to us being in different departments, but we can see each other from where we sit, and she does look over at me a lot. The problem I have is I know nothing about her, if she is married (there is no ring) or is in a relationship. And there is no one in the office I can ask, as that would be to obvious.

So that brings me to where I am now. What do I do? I don’t have a problem telling someone I like them and asking them out for a drink or something, but as this is at work, it changes the rules. I don’t want to make a fool of myself, or look unprofessional, but I also really want to spend time with and get to know this person, so really don’t want to just do nothing.

Any thoughts and advice anyone can give me on this will be much appreciated.

Ask her in a casual conversation, if she does over time say something like “does your boyfriend / husband not mind you working overtime” ?
Maybe not the most creative way but you will find out the answer.

Little Nick has a point. If you have a fling and it dosen’t work out then both of you could not operate in the same professional capacity as before. Being the new guy, you may be the one handed the pink slip - and if you weren’t the new guy, she’s much better looking than you (if you follow) and there is less conflict letting you go without a thought to Affirmative Action and litigation.
However. . . if you’re willing to take a risk and want to ask her out, do what you would normally do to do such. . . Just make sure you are off the clock and off of instutional property. If she says no, then I’m sure both of you can recover from such a small encounter and continue to have a professional relationship.
