Not sure

Apologize.
If you don't she may think you don't get you've done something wrong. If you do and she doesn't think it is something she should be hurt it won't so any damage.

Yes but ive never spoken to her yet. I think i may have been giving her too much attention oogling at her. Ive never spoken to her so i dont know whatvto do.

Apologize. It is a good way starting an interaction

Hi (mane).
The other day I made you uncomfortable by doing X. I'm sorry for that, I didn't mean it. Hope we can remain on good terms.

Unless there’s something really clear to apologise for, best to just stop the behaviour that you think may have upset her and back off. Apologising when there’s nothing tangible might seem strange and not really help

Yh that mskes sense but I still want to approach her sooner rather than later like a normal person. What do you mean by back off?

If you have been ogling as you say, and you feel that she has picked up that you fancy her and is trying to discourage it, then the best thing is to avoid unnecessary contact. This does not prevent normal work courtesy and interaction when your paths cross. Things should settle down with this approach

I've done that before, she was just so pretty and used to wear figure hugging gear around the office, a young girl in her early twenties at the time. I just couldn't help myself, difficult for me not to do really as then I would feel not so great as I did when I saw her.

Anyhow, I would definitely avoid apologising. There would be little getting out of that once you do. How do you know she isn't going to go running to her boss/HR and complain and you get the sack. Then you are going to feel really sh*tty. Unless the job sucks if course and you can easily pick up another one for sure. Remember some girls love to roast a guy these days, they get off one it, think of the 'Metoo' movement. How do you know she isn't covertly a stark raving Feminist happy to stick the knife into a man?

I would talk to her about something mundane first just to break the ice. From that you can judge her personality a bit. If you get to know her well enough you can apologise down the line if you think it needs it, when you know she's not the type to ditch you in it.

Other possibility of course is that she may now have a bf where she didn't before. Hence she will see it as inappropriate to entertain and even a bit awkward as a result. Again that means your worth to her while she is in a relationship is very much reduced, practically zero so beware as again if you apologize it may be taken as an admission of guilt and easy for her to go running to complain just as it's now more convenient for you not to be around never mind the unemployment distress it may cause you.

I cant just do nothing. I fancy her a lot hence why ive struggled to initiate convo as everytime i see her i freeze and become nervous. I need to talk to her sooner rather than later. She wont complain if i talk to her and break the ice. Shes more likely to complain if i dont and continue to stare at her.

There's a very simple answer. It's based on the fact that good looking women tend to have friends that are good looking.

So you can tell her something along the lines of "I have a rule of never getting romantically involved with co-workers. Because of possible conflicts of interest, sexual harassment, unprofessionalism. What do you think of this rule?... On Saturdays I normally go out with a few friends for a drink and some witty banter. They're an accepting and harmless bunch. 🙂 I think you'd like Bob's girlfriend..."

Something where you are disqualifying her as becoming your girlfriend, whilst coming over as friendly and positive and with a very soft close attempt at getting her to mix socially with you outside of work.
The disqualification mindset should go a long way to settling your nerves.

Most guys are too dumb to realise this: an attractive woman that is your "good platonic friend" is the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket to a great dating life. Because of all the introductions you will get from her. As well as the social proof when you go into into a venue with her next to you.
Play the long game, not the instant gratification game.

Don't apologise. Maintain your frame that you've done nothing wrong.
An apology would be a typical nice guy mistake. The sort of mistake made by men that think that supplicating is a good way to get inside a woman's knickers.
