The next time she comes up and starts flirting with you say "Hey, I'm going to <random place> after work. Would you like to come with me?"

Just a thought. I know I know... this is ATOT and the thought of actually talking to a girl who is giving you signals is against law here... but give it a shot and see what happens.

i do talk to her i just don't want to ask her out until i know if she's taken or not.
i'm also hesitant since we work at the same place.
You're not asking her out. You're inviting her along. It's a freindly thing.

"Hey.. I was going to get a beer after work. Would you like to come with me?"
There are two possible answers...

"No, I have to get home to my husband and my six kids"
Or
"Sure... Sounds good"

The third option is a restraining order but you have to put in some effort to get one of those. Remember... keep it simple.

recently this girl where i work has started talking to me and saying hi and smiling at me.
she's been here for about 8 months or so i would guess. up until like the past 2 weeks she barely talked to me but now she is doing the stuff above.

now, its not anything really flirty imo but i don't know what brought on the sudden change.

now the bad part - i'm pretty sure she's married...

Scarily, I have a similar problem. But in this case, replace "married" with "very steady and almost engaged" and replace "work" with "uni", and remove the "hi" and "smiling at me"

😕

How are you "pretty sure she's married". Here's a tip my friend, there's usually a ring on the left hand ring finger!

Aside from that did you ever stop to think maybe she realized she was never friendly before and didn't want you to think she was a prude so decided to say hello?

sometimes "hello" means "hello".

If you know she is married or find out she is, then leave it alone. If you go any farther with it then you get what you deserve.

what he said....

beat me to it.
 
Quit being a moron and just say "Are you seeing anyone?" if she says "No" go with #1 if yes go with #2.

1. "Well, would you like to go out sometime?"
2. "Too bad, whoever he is though, he's one lucky guy."

It's that simple.
