How do I get them to ask me out? I am quite shy but there is plenty of talent and I don't want to miss opportunities. I rarely go out so work is where I see all my eye candy. I'm also a bit wary of an office romance but don't want to rule it out.

Come on I need some advice. Is it ever ok to flirt at work?

Are there any opportunities for after-work drinks? Or could you start a new tradition of after-work drinks? Find a pretext like someone leaving or a new contract, or even just a new pay day drink-up.

I used to work at a place where most of us were single, and several couples got together in the context of after-work drinks, although we tried to keep it professional during work hours.

I met my husband at work, and also had a couple of short-lived relationships at the same company, so it can be done! Grin

What's wrong with you asking them out?

I fear rejection but i guess i might have to bite the bullet!

if you live up to your name you will be popular :-/
Go for asking them, they are no different to you about rejection.
Good Luck.

No, don't ask them.

But I agree with the suggestion of trying to set up a tradition of after-work drinks/socialising.

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep- Agree 100% on this one

Child and cute: What is the problem with asking a workmate out, then?

I'm assuming it's not the "workmate" aspect of things, since you both seem to endorse out-of-office fraternising that might lead to more.
