    Hmmmm, tricky one!

    At least you got the smile, thats a good sign!

    Can you ask somebody what department she is in or where her desk is at?

    She may not be too impressed with an email.

    WARNING! Make sure its not internal work email! you could get yourself in trouble over that! Especially if the emails are saucy! Alot of emails are monitored in the work place!

    start off by asking her how was France

    this is not a great idea but how bout u organise a few drinks for some of the crowd in work or sumthing like that n ask her along..sounds like a lot of bother n she may not come but if u really dont think u can ask her out directly its worth a shot ...not the best idea now i know

    A lot of people saw us together, don't wanna approach her and embarrase her so email would be better.

    Why not just send her an email saying you didn't know she was back untill you saw her.... how she got on in France etc!
    If she emails back and seems keen then say something like "oh we should go for lunch together to catch up..." Or something along those lines!!!

    Yea thats a good idea! I bet she walked passed you on purpose to let you know she was back! ;)

    Are you going to get her a Valentines card? :cool:

    Just mail her saying she's looking cute.

    She'll mail back or she won't.

    Keep it cheeky. Sorted.

    Only works for a certain type of person (and on a certain type of girl) tbh

    if its a big company, most likely you can look up her desk or pager number on the system.

    Don't send her anything by internal email...one of my mates got burned BADLY doing this...thought the girl would take it with a pinch of salt, instead she reported him.

    Give her a call...that'll get her attention far more than an email. Plus it breaks the ice far quicker.

    She walked past your desk, even though she doesn't work anywhere nearby. That seems like a good sign.

    Agreed with the above poster. Ring her instead of texting, that will stand out more and make you seem more confident.

    Maybe it wouldn't work for a few but I think most people (girls and guys) would take to it well. A bit of this kind of malarky can really brighten up a work day, week, whatever. I'd say anyone would be glad of the fun.

    'im going to a cafe on my break/after work,you should come.. :)

    I'd mail her, as long as that's not against work policy. Just say you didn't know she was back, ask about France etc. If she replies and seems vaguely friendly/chatty with it, ask her if she wants to get lunch one day. Not hassling her, low risk for you, easy peasy cheezy peas :D
