Yeah mate I will be. I trying to view as a positive experience either way. I either get a chance with someone I fancy or I at least make a big step forward when it comes to expressing my confidence. Least I can tell myself "a year ago you were so low that even holding conversations was difficult, now you're prepared to give asking someone out a try".
I've come a long way and addressed a lot kf my problems that have cause me to be miserable. This is just another hurdle to climb over.
That's a great way to look at it, regardless of the outcome
* hopefully it'll be postive

Just do it. It is not a crime. Also, try to think of something funny to say, in advance, to diffuse the moment if it becomes awkward. Having that ready to use might help your confidence.

Just be yourself. Keep it casual- don't arrive at their desk with an armful of flowers and a box of chocolates. lol

Best advice is to be yourself and just ask. Experience teaches you that the worst thing that can happen is a 'no thanks' and nothing is lost in that. If anything you will be admired for asking. But if she says 'yes' then you have everything to gain.
The feeling of 'what if' is far more anxiety causing than those few moments of courage should you choose to not go ahead.
We had similar here when a really quite lad from IT asked one of the girls in marketing out.
He was really polite and she said yes.
He changed his flight and left a couple of days after. We never really talked about the blow out, just played nice until he went.
I'm building myself up to write him a letter to tell him what I need to without him arguing or me stumbling over my words

Letter a good idea and not something people think off. Hopefully you can get across how you are feeling and how the situation is hurting you.
Good luck and keep us posted mate.
Thanks mate.
