Hello, I am a regular guy in his mid twenties who haven't dated for about 4 years. I have been working on my career ever since and right now I have found this public service job which should keep me steady and secure for the rest of my life should I choose to stay in this job. Anyhow, there is this girl at work that I like but am not sure what I should do about it. I guess you can say I am a little shy to tell her. She is in the same position as me and I see her walking around the office every so often. She has always been nice to me and would start conversations with me whenever she sees me. Lately, I have found myself thinking about her a lot and it has disrupted my life. She has a nice personality and I think I like her and I THINK I want to ask her out but I don't know if I should. The thing is I don't know if she has a boyfriend or not and I don't know how to go about doing so. Any advice will do...

Never let your feelings disrupt your life, and being friendly and getting to know more about a cute co worker is cool, but not getting so carried away by a stranger you act inappropriately. Before you ask her out, try saying hello, and introduce yourself.

Be careful falling for co workers my friend, you risk your job and future by rushing into something too fast just because YOU are attracted to them. Think before you act or speak and always remain cool, calm, collected and in control of YOURSELF.

I highly suggest you have a social life that you enjoy with family, friends, and activities, separate from your work life, just to cover your own a$$ and not jeopardize your new job. Attraction are natural, but what you do about them is up to you.

Think it through.

Yes, office romances DO NOT work out. If they fail, they become very uncomfortable for both parties, and there goes your job out the window.
