^Chat with her and get to know her some more. Casually invite her along to something. If she accepts then she probably really does like you.

I just hooked up with my first co-worker, EVER.
DUN DUN DUN.
We said we won't get attached - but sex always, always, always makes things weird.
There's always this underlying guilt that seems to go along with these types of situations (I'm speaking as if I'm done this more than once).
If things don't work out, good luck trying to have a normal work relationship with here.
MWAHAHAHAH

^ wow... I'd think it would be really weird to have friendly day-to-day coworker duties with someone you also got nekked and sweaty with

I've decided to suspend this project indefinitely.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I would say awkwardness in the future would make it or break it for me. If you have to work with a person that much, imagine if something does go wrong. If it's just about sex, imagine if you or her start to have feelings for each other. Then, you're always thinking that maybe the other person is sleeping with someone else, but you want something more, but they don't? What about the fighting if you have to do a project together and you don't agree on something? The hardest thing, too is keeping it on the d l. Lovey dove eyes across the boardroom table? I mean, people are already talking and they would talk wayyyy more when you do hook up. What if you're in an equal position now, but one of you gets promoted etc.....office politics? So many issues. So, really, it's not the easiest way to have a relationship from what I can see, but it's so hard when you do find her so enticing.

I think seeing a coworker is a bad idea and even worse for couples to work together. One of my co-worker's wives is working with us now and every time there's an argument I feel like I'm 5 and my parents are fighting... I want to hide in the closet with all the lights off, huddled in a ball...

Actually, I'm currently involved with a co-worker. Normally, I would heed other's advice (don't s*** where you eat, etc. etc.), however, being that this is a temporary job for the both of us, there isn't much of a problem. In addition, although we work in the same department we work in different sections, so seeing each other while at work is somewhat limited to meal breaks and going home. In addition, my workplace is tolerant of inter-office relationships as long we don't make out on the break room table, and as long as it doesn't affect our performance. Also it helps that we're on the same level of the food chain and it doesn't look like either of us will be moving up or down any time soon.

Umm...co workers. Happens A LOT at my company. Mind, we are a BIG company. Within the direct department (all in all, there are probably about 100 of us in total), there are a few relationships, and a LOT of marriages occur within the office/most people are married to someone they met through work or university.
I think so long as you can be an adult and professional about it...why not. Personally I would need to know them VERY well as a friend and it would just happen over the years...I could not work on the same team as them though.
I have dated people within the company, but not the department...but as we are a company of about 10,000 people, with about 8,000 of us in London...I don't think it's really too big a deal!!!
