Should I ask my coworker out? thoughts?

[Anonymous]

This is my last week at my job. I have a crush on a female who is my coworker she’s 3 years older than me 27. Very beautiful and great personality. She knows my age 24 since she asked about my age before and her response was you’re very mature. I’ve never really tried asking her out in the past because I wanted to stay professional and not have it cause an issue. Should I ask her out or ask for her number? Or just let it be?

Well, it looks like you have nothing to lose if you ask her out. And she had a lot of chances to know you already, at least superficially. You don't know if she is single or dating someone but that doesn't mean anything, you can ask her out anyway and at most she will tell her she is taken, or that you're not her type etc. And you wouldn't see her anymore. But worst case scenario is: you don't ask her out, and you wouldn't see her anymore either. So, in comparison, better giving it a chance...
Ask her out in a confident way but quite simple and serene, like if you know what you want but that is not such a big deal you're deeply hoping into. Think about it like if she "should" join you because that would be fun for her, never enter in any mindset like you hope she gives you a favour by accepting, because the way you ask her matters as well in the outcome. Most people are in "maybe" status and don't have a definite "yes/no", and the way you ask them can make that "maybe" lean more towards one or the other answer. Don't be nervous, insecure, or making a big deal out of that. Confident, simple, easy to join, no hidden negative feelings anywhere.

do anything you want. but understand that if the relationship goes south , you WILL need to see her again at work. And it might disturb your job happiness.

Hell no!
It is far too dangerous to interact with females in any off-task way.
Expect a sexual-harassment allegation, a trip to HR, followed by unemployment and not being able to get another job, because there will be a sexual-harassment termination on your record.
Women have made themselves too dangerous to be in the same room as one.

Yes, you should. Just say "This is my last week here. I was wondering if you would like to have lunch/dinner/... with me?

No. Please no. You should not ask her out. Stuff with coworkers never works out.

Id ask her out if I were you , just something like " Heh , its been great working with you , wish it could continue , would you be free Tuesday? " pretty certain she is keen :)

Go ahead. The only reasons why it’s a bad idea I can think of are that she’s asexual (nu, not always) or is taken (unless she’s for polyamory) or some spiritual beliefs.
