Answer Hi Chris,
I'm a fan of direct communication as I feel life is too short to waste a lot of time wondering should I or shouldn't I.
That being said, my advice is for you to introduce yourself, if that hasn't already been done, and for the next couple of times you see her, greet her warmly and compliment the way she looks. Thereafter, bring her a single flower, tell her you'd like to share a coffee with her or drinks after work, and ask if she's interested?
