So, another one of those threads is about to be created here by just asking for advice regarding asking out a coworker. I'm not even sure if the advice will be taken, but regardless, it's a real pickle just simply because, we're both in a professional enviornment, and if anything goes bad, well, it can go sour. That's the main problem. Whether or not she has interest is another "problem".
Anyway, so I'm basically asking, has anyone ever done this, and how do you avoid the office chatter and odd work environment if things go south (not there

)?
