<human>: Hi All.

First time poster here, long time lurker, and have decided to ask for help as I've no idea how to proceed. I'm interested in asking out this girl I work with but have been burnt badly in the past and becuase of this I'm rather gun shy. I don't really want to rush into a GF/BF relationship straight up. I want to try actually getting to know this girl before letting this go too far.

I've no issues with her and I working together because my plans aren't to be sticking around with this company for much longer so I thought why not try fishing in my own pond. That being said I don't want to create an issue where either one of us are awkward at work.

She's been working with us for a couple of months now and as far as I've been able to work out she doesn't have a BF although I do think there might be a FBuddy, doesn't really concern me to be honest though it might make others stop and think. I work in the IT department so I've gotten to have a few chats with her about non-work stuff and just sort of start building a bit of dialogue between us but I've really no idea on how to ask her out on a date, which at this stage I believe would be a wrong move.

My question is how do I approach her? Is there something else I could be doing instead of just hoping to bump into her in the tea room or an issue comes up with her computer?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I like a girl I work with, too shy to ask her out. How do I progress my realtionship with her to this point?
