I’ve been single for 2 years now! I’ve met someone at work who I really like.
My workplace doesn’t care about people dating. It’s a big company in a small town.

Oof girl, I feel you on the workplace crush dilemma! It's such a tricky situation to navigate. But if the company is cool with it and you two have that connection, I say go for it! Just gotta be smart about how you approach it.
The key is to start slow and subtle with the flirting. You don't wanna come on too strong and make things awkward, ya know? Little compliments here and there, maybe find excuses to chat with him one-on-one, laugh at his jokes. Stuff like that.
The goal is to just kinda put the vibe out there and see if he reciprocates. If he seems receptive, you can start being a little bolder. Maybe find ways to spend more time together, like grabbing lunch or coffee. Heck, if you ever need to work late, see if he wants to order takeout or something.
Just pay attention to his body language and cues. If he's mirroring your flirty energy, that's a good sign! But if he seems uncomfortable or withdrawn, back off a bit. Don't wanna make him feel pressured.
The other key is to keep things professional at work. Don't let the flirting distract from your actual jobs. Save the really flirty stuff for outside the office, if/when you two decide to take it there.
Honestly, the best thing is just to be confident and have fun with it! This is an exciting new chapter for you, girl. Just stay aware of the workplace dynamics and don't stress too much. If it's meant to be, it'll happen naturally. Good luck!
Been there. Don’t recommend it. As others have said, it gets really awkward when things don’t work out and having to see your ex everyday. Watching them move on. The pain is overwhelming and it almost always results in one or both parties leaving
but if you insist, because indeed you’re a grown adult and experience being the toughest teacher in giving the test first and lesson later; flirting at work usually involves little favors. In my experience girls would buy me a coffee, stop by for chitchat, tell me about themselves, their interests or ask me of mine. They’d find excuses to invite me to lunch. The more forthcoming ones would give me gifts for the holidays. Usually came with a phone number
It’s not even just about what your coworkers would say, what if things don’t work out then you’re stuck with the awkwardness of having to navigate around each other? I’m not just talking about dating not working but him not being interested or currently available in general. People avoid this for more reasons than one. I’ve had two friends with horrible dating experience like that, one even got fired due to rumors a jealous coworker started over him pursuing my friend. No not every outcome is the same but it’s generally never a good idea with us why majority advise against it.
This time last year, I had a crush on my supervisor, but I never flirted with him. Workplace romances are never a good idea.

Start slow, and see if he picks up on your "hints."
Maybe you two can start having lunch together a couple days a week, if that's possible.
probably avoid doing anything TOO forward, in case he turns out to be married or gay or something.
Good luck.

Work is for work. Don't mess around with co-workers.
I was definitely a tease to many men at work
I don't flirt.
Not intentionally anyway.
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong.😏. If this man has any sense he will report you to HR when you flirt with him.
Just talking and keeping eye contact.
Ask him if he wants to grab a coffee?
cook food in office hour and serve after office.
