How to approach love of my life at work

I am in love with this girl I work with. She's perfect. White, blonde hair, blue eyes, Christian. She's pretty quiet and is a total nerd. We work on the same team so we work pretty closely together and I'm the only guy on the team. I don't really know how to approach her or get her to like me. I've barely been able to speak to her outside of work related stuff but she always blushes when she talks to me and is uncharacteristically awkward around me so I think she might like me. I just don't know how to go to the next level or how to spark a personal conversation with her without it being awkward or jeopardizing my position at work. What should I do?

    it may be best for patience to win and wait for opportunities to deliberately know each other such as team buildings, etc.

    any advance you pursue may be misunderstood by everyone involved.

    Let's approach the problem rationally. Harassment is unwanted communication. Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual advances, pretty much any overt sexual advance in the workplace unless directed at a nympho. Now that you know what is against the rules, you know what is within the rules. If you have this information and don't talk to her then you're a bich and wienerblocking yourself.

      I'm gonna add to this for people reading who are too autistic to know about gender. Women showing romantic or sexual interest is more socially acceptable than men doing it. That's just a fact of life. If you're male or female and you don't like this, cry about it.

      From the human rights commission that defined sexual harrassment in the first place

      >> Sexual harassment is any unwanted or unwelcome sexual behaviour where a reasonable person would have anticipated the possibility that the person harassed would feel offended, humiliated or intimidated. It has nothing to do with mutual attraction or consensual behaviour

      Key word is POSSIBILITY.

        Otherwise I agree. That's why I said pretty much any overt sexual advance not leveraged at a meganympho will register as sexual harassment especially if done by a man. Anyone without autism knows this, we shouldn't say in a workplace, "You seem like a good Christian woman let's frick."

          Nothing in law existed until it was defined, including rights. It's all just stuff we agree to abide by when we're born into a society. None of it exists objectively.

          It doesn't have to be overt, that's the point. It only has to have the POSSIBILITY of making a "reasonable" person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated.

          So telling a rude joke to another cowork in earshot of a third co-worker not involved in the conversation, that's sexual harassment too.

          Asking a coworker out on a date, that's sexual harassment too because the POSSIBILITY exists they will feel offended, humiliated or intimidated by your question.

          Commenting that a coworker looks nice today can be sexual harrassment.

          Many things are sexual harassment, when you're at work do your job and that's it.

      It doesn't have to be overt, it just has to be unwanted attention that can be interpreted as sexual (or romantic) in some manner.

      Even something as innocuous as a smile can be interpreted this way.

        I understand many of you kids lack male role models but ffs even a 4 year old can put that together.

        Listen, the basic rules are

        1. Don't make any kind of advances on women while they're at work. They're unable to leave, and it is by definition sexual harassment. That applies whether you're a coworker, third party stakeholders or a client.

        2. Don't make any kind of advances on coworkers of any gender that you will have to work with, see on a semi-regular basis or whom have any kind of power over you in the organisation. This applies even making those advances outside of work. This is a danger zone that will frick up your life.

        If you want to date a coworker, find a new job first then ask them on a date.

    Here's what you need to do:
    1. Start lifting
    2. Get a tan
    3. Get good hair
    4. Get really social and talk to everybody, men, women, old people, even Indians
    At that point be open to dating and meeting people, start a hinge account and see who likes you.

    What you shouldn't do: hit on the girl at work.
    You don't get people to like you. A girl knows if she wants to frick you upon first sight, just like you wanted to frick her on first sight.
    If she didn't give you signals she's not keen. Get your shit together and frick other women. I only put effort into women I know want to frick me, be that they liked me on a dating app, gave me the eye in a bar or kept chatting and showed clear internet in a casual conversation. This is how it works mate.
    If you think you can do anything else you are deluded.

            If you're praying for an opener I'm not sure it's good advice. You have social anxiety and are coming up with autistic constructs about how social interaction works that don't reflect reality. Now I know I'm being very difficult here, maybe the idea of an opener isn't entirely bunk. But I'm pretty sure people who get laid are not using openers and that is a PUA nonsense. Just talk to the person. There are no magic words that will make her undoubtedly interested in you romantically or make your anxiety go away. As others have pointed out, you're putting a ton of thought into your hypothetical relationship with this person when there's a less than fifty percent chance of her wanting you romantically. You've been brave enough to insult people on the Internet so you can say hello to some woman. If she isn't interested then your fantasy will die and you'll be tasked with talking to more women, which terrifies you? Just face your fears. If you can't do this small thing then should your sperm even go anywhere but the drain? Be at least 1% of a champ.

            Most people aren't going up to strangers with a proposition to mate unless they're having casual sex. It's probably not a natural fit for you based on what you've said here. Meeting women at work, school, or some social venue is a good way to form a connection without putting yourself out there like a salesman which is what happens with dating apps and "cold approaching" strangers. You should take everything you learned from PUA and bin it because it's a total scam. There is no art to going to a bar and trying to frick a woman because all you have to do is say hello and then some bullshit, which explains why there's alcohol. Half of the time you get laid at a bar it will be someone coming up to you and propositioning you. How is that artful? You could say there's an art to trying to hook up with women at grocery stores but that's generally not a place to meet women. Soon as you've got a guy with a physical appearance like Andrew Tate telling nerds how to get laid at the library that should set off scam alarms.

            Maybe reframe yourself positively in your head. You're a man who has life goals and isn't afraid of commitment. Is your job a good one with employee benefits? Are you about to pay your student loans or car loan off? Do you put effort into your health and appearance? Are you a nice person who cares about others? None of these things will make women like you but they make the thought of being with you a more valuable proposition and you can boost your confidence this way. If you were the casual sex type of person you'd know the world is so dominated by dime a dozen people who just want to get their kicks and go with the various trends, people you can't rely on. Real people are diamonds in the rough.

            Anyway, what do you think would assuage your anxiety? What if you didn't need her to like you, and you'd be okay with her not reciprocating your feelings? Some amount of anxiety will always be there, like in a job that involves public speaking the first few months to years are almost always marked by nervousness. When nervousness goes away it can come back when something important happens, like a big presentation.

          Mate, I'm not the wanker trying to pick up a coworker and unable to come up with a way to start a conversation. Do you really believe trying to insult me is the best means by which to garner my help?

          Asking her about what she did over the weekend is a good open. generic, non confrontational question that both allows you to find out about her through her interests (ie what she did in her free time) and gives you something to continue the conversation from when she answers with what she got up to. There is no way that question can be interpreted as sexual harassment and it allows you to gauge interest.

          If she gives you a closed answer like "not much" she doesn't want to know you on a personal level and you should keep things professional.

          If she says something like "I just stayed at home" you might counter with what you did on the weekend. If that was stayed home too, perhaps you did something interesting at home like saw a movie you really liked, or engaged in a hobby. Talk about that.

          If she's interested, then she'll bounce off your reply and ask questions about whatever you did, or relate to what you did with something she enjoys. Congratulations you're having a conversation.

          Closed answers means she isn't interested. If she starts giving closed answers just keep things professional.

          >what did you get upto on the weekend
          That's a painfully generic question that won't help one bit.

          If OP is saying he's trying to start an innocent conversation that can't be taken in a leading or romantic way it has to remain generic questions as their openers.

            Not at all. "What did you do over the weekend" is perhaps the most common personal question between co-workers.

            You can walk into any workplace on earth on a Monday or a Tuesday and hear that question being asked. It's the most innocent question possible but has the potential to lead into quite interesting conversations and create co-worker bonds.

            It's how you make workplace friends. It's how you create a relationship with a boss. And it's how you feel around for romantic interest with a coworker.

            No one does this. It just makes you look like an incel who's only social experiences are from reading the internet about it. People talk about these things by segwaying into them from previous topics and conversations, not asking about it. Asking about them is, again, just an incel's idea of how socialising works, and just creeps people out. People look for conversations with those they approve of, not interrogations from someone they don't know.

            Are you OP? You're coming mighty autistic. Asking someone how is their weekend is generic and won't be interpreted as "incel." Bitterness towards women and society is probably the biggest incel flag. Even then, getting flagged as incel illicits more pity among the general population than hatred. People who hate incels have a political bone to pick and are rarer than not.

            you clearly have no experience with work, socializing, or even life for that matter. no one asks basic questions like these, and it's one of the least personal questions out there. coworkers rarely talk about anything other than work, and what they talk about outside of work (assuming they're friends) is never as milquetoast as what they do in their spare time. whether or not it's innocent is entirely relative, and in the eye of the beholder. there's nothing about this question that leads to anything interesting, and it sure as hell doesn't develop any bonds with people unless you're a sociopath who doesn't understand how people work. you don't go to work to make friends. you sure as frick don't develop a relationship with your boss unless you're both interested in violating ethical boundaries. and romances generally mean you don't have shallow conversations like what you do over the fricking weekend.
