Should I go for it?

I am a single parent and since I split 4 y ago I haven't had a relationship .I have started to like someon I work with, we get on well but I am very unsure whether to ask him out or if that would spoil our working relationship.
I know he came out of a serious relationship last year and I am unsure if he has any sort of g/friend at the moment.
Any ideas how I can find out more without being completly obvious?

Going against everything I'd do myself .. but wait, wait, wait. Soooooo hard to do.

I worked with him quite alot in the summer and talked quite a lot just never found out what I wanted!

i think you should start off casual and dont expect too much, maybe you could go for a drink with a group of work people and get to know him outside of the work environment...........

Oh, ask him out for a drink, go for it. If you don't get on, does it really matter?

How would you feel if he said no? Would it ruin your working relationship?

That job(2nd job) don't really go out much as a group, last time we worked together and finished at the same time I was talking about going out after the shift but he was already meeting a friend.
Twice I have got so close to asking him an dthen chickened out
The problem workwise is he is a deputy manager and I am a relief and he is one of the people who call reliefs to cover, of we didn't get on or it got awkward I may end up losing work over it , which I can't afford to do.
