<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

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?
<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?
