1st ever thread or question posed on this site so apologies for any mistakes i make.
basically, i really fancy this girl that i work with but we only ever chat to each other when we are at work no more. i don't even have her mobile number either. anyway i was never planning to do anything, partly because in terms of looks she is wayyyy out of my league and she had a long term boyfriend. however, over the last few weeks she has broken up with her boyfriend and only today another guy i work with said that she clearly said if she HAD to go out with someone from work it would be me. he is not the type of person to lie so i believe him but i don't know if it was a throw-away comment or she meant it. more importantly, i don't know what to do as if i wait too long she will inevitably get with someone else but if i just ask her out and she says NO, work would be very awkward as i would feel VERY embarassed. any advice on the situation would be greatly appreciated.
