And we are so in love. So flip off all you ageists.

No but seriously, flip off.

Hah, no... but really seriously this time, if the two of you have more in common than just you thinking she's super hot and also nice, then it might work. I agree with those saying its out of order for you to ask her out at work. Do your flirting and if she doesn't make a move, move on.
