If I directly ask a guy to sleep with me would he?

There’s this guy at work who I’ve been told thinks I’m hot but is really shy, I heard that he would only go for a girl if he knew she was interested first. But I don’t want to gossip and have him find out through others, would a direct approach work? Or would I most likely be shut down?
