Wait until she goes to make a drink then go and get yourself a tea/coffee too. Perfect opportunity for some simple chat and briefly mention something that isn't work so she knows you aren't boring, but make sure not to drag it out or make it awkward. If it goes well you should try to trip her up when she's carrying her tea. Girls love it when you're mean to them.
Or be a weirdo and loiter near her desk. When she asks "What do you want?" you then blurt out something really embarrassing like a 13 year old trying to get his first kiss.
Good luck.
I have thought about doing this. But then felt it would probably be too full on. I feel I have to do something though... And soon!Or be a weirdo and loiter near her desk.

do you know that she is actually single?
Is she senior/junior to you- anything that might cause problems
Do you have any joint friends/colleagues that you could engineer drinks after work with and just try and get chatting to her?
Accidentally bump into her making drinks or something and just make her laugh and get to know her a little bit- she how she responds and go from there. Make up a work related question
I'd say we're of the same level. Just that we work in completely different depts.Is she senior/junior to you- anything that might cause problems

I know of one person (who is also rather hot) who has gotten to know her. I told this person I thought they were hot. She then started speaking with her during a recent drinking session. Turns out she's really nice. No idea if she has another half.
Anyway, she herself gave me her approval. However, I'm just to pussy to do it lol

What ages are we dealing with? You say she is older, but that could mean you are 19 and she is 26, or perhaps you are 32 and she is pushing 50?
Not that it changes the fact you need to follow the advice and talk to her like a normal person, I'm just being nosey.
I'm 30 she's apparently 40.Not that it changes the fact you need to follow the advice and talk to her like a normal person, I'm just being nosey.

Dont email. Go over her part of the office and just ask her out.
I worked with a girl once who I liked. Plucked up the courage to get her phone number from a friend and phone her. That was 10 years ago, we are now married with kids.
This, my wife is 11 years younger than me, absolutely stunning, I'm tall and fat and didn't stand a chance.I worked with a girl once who I liked. Plucked up the courage to get her phone number from a friend and phone her. That was 10 years ago, we are now married with kids.
Here we are 12 years later, happily married with 2 kids.
So many "what if's" if you don't make a move.
Go for it!
You need to engineer a situation. A life threatening situation. Maybe get a couple of your friends involved, could be a car crash, kidnapping. Anything in which she is confronted with her mortality.
Naturally you'll step in and save her and she'll be eternally grateful, if you're not ugly you'll most likely get laid.

Actually, that's a good one.
Make a tree fall on her car/house and rescue her.
If she commutes by train, stage a train hijacking and be a hero.
In disguise, force her off the road and into a river. Shed the disguise and rescue her from the water.
Torch her house and carry her through the smoke and flame.
Any of these would work, off the top of my head.
ETA: I forgot the classic one. What an amateur.
Torch her car at work and be helpful in offering her a lift home. Easy to talk in a private car. Suggest going dogging on the way home.

mate... just go over and start chatting to her, hows her day, did she know you were leaving soon, got any plans for the weekend, how long has she been working there etc etc etc...
then just see if she's up to anything at the weekend... if she fancies a coffee at break time.... you're nipping out for some lunch, does she want to join you, etc etc
its really not that difficult, its just about getting it done.

This. The more you think about it, the worse a job you'll do.then just see if she's up to anything at the weekend... if she fancies a coffee at break time.... you're nipping out for some lunch, does she want to join you, etc etc

Go and talk to her, but don't care too much the response. If she never wants to talk to you again you've lost nothing.
