Risky, but sometimes worth it. The problem is you can't tell anyone, not one soul from work. If one finds out, they'll all find out. If she is over a 7 I'd go for it. Another potential problem is if she isn't down, awkkkwardddd.
It seems like all the posters who had positive experiences with this scenario married their coworkers, whereas all the posters who had negative experiences "hit it and quit it." That seems to be good advice in general, as the sex unaccompanied by love seems to leave participants unfulfilled and unhappy.
As I mentioned earlier, I married a co-worker so it all worked out well. However, at the time the dot-com we were at had been rocked by a half dozen sexual harassment lawsuits. The CEO gave this huge speech about how the work place is like a pond that has piranhas in it. You're probably cool to dip your toe in it, but it's a bad idea to go wading in "hip deep." Seeing how he was screwing at least two different employees, it was kind of ironic. I wound up inviting my future wife along to a few co-worker happy hours, so we could kind of gauge things before I asked her out. Once there was definite mutual interest, I felt pretty safe asking her out. Luckily it worked well. Most of the lawsuits at the office were instigated by bad breakups. Technically we were in different departments and neither of were in management above the other. I would not want to share a cubicle wall with an ex, especially if it ended badly or if you were looking at a one night stand and she was thinking long term commitment. You can't dodge her phone calls if she can look over the cube wall and say WTF?!?!?
How likely is it that the OP even has a chance with the girl if he tries? I'd say based on the dorks we have here, its very small.
