<human>: Hello there!
So the story goes, I am a 26/m and a couple months ago I was dumped from a relationship and I decided to make some changes to myself that I felt caused that relationships end. But this is not about that, just a bit of backstory. 

So I started a new job about 4 months ago and I met this gal there. Now I know all about the whole "dont date coworkers" and stuff, and I tried hard to stick with it but I seem to have developed a crush on her. And just to say, i barely see her at work and if things really went so sour i could not work there I really do not care as I am looking for another job anyway. So the heck with all that jazz. 

The point of this post is not to figure out if she likes me or not, i truly do not know. I have talked to her a couple times and she is very smiley and I make her laugh a lot and bla bla. Part of my whole bettering myself is to not over think things, so I am thinking of just asking her out for coffee or something, something simple. Yet I can never get her alone at work and I do not see her outside of work. And i feel it would be awkward to ask her for number when other coworkers are around, for me and her as well if she has no interest in me. 

I talked to my female friend who i tend to talk with about this kind of stuff and she suggested a simple facebook message. I am normally against sending a facebook message for such things, but I am not sure what else to do. 

So any advice will be appreciated.

Give me a shortened version of the text
