“Hey, you. Over here.”
She calls me over there to look over something, but I’m not looking. I’m smelling. She smells brilliant that’s what makes her noticeable. Seconds after she enters the room, her fragrance hits the nose, and I can’t help but be reminded that there is a god.
“Thanks for the help.”
Now I’m back at my desk. Heaven is over there. Hell is here, myself, in my skin and nothing can bridge the chasm between the perdition and paradise.
“Off to lunch!”
Just this once, let me go with. It’s better to not eat alone. I know it is. I read it in a book that told me so even while I was alone.
“Goodnight. See ya tomorrow.”
Yes, we will. I’ll restart this thread once more in the morning.

So where does this smelly girl go for lunch? Think of a similar place nearby and give her the:
"Hey, I'm heading off to XXXX, wanna come along?"
Yes or no, it's just a casual question.
As you work with her, casually ask how things are going, what she did last weekend, etc while you're checking out whatever it is she was asking for help with.
Ask her out – but don't react like a whiny bitch if she happens to say no. Remember that you're in a beautiful and amazing world and you're asking her to join that world, if she says no, it's her loss.
If she asks if it's a "date", be confident and say "of course!"
But be yourself.
Though remember: It is our job to push and the woman's job to say "no". It's all a game. A game that you need to respect.
Otherwise, you'll just be a lonely dude watching anime videos over the internet…
This was a writing exercise. It in no way mirrors my situation at work. I wrote it with Nozomi in mind. Sadly. I think I'll just go back and watch some anime…
