Consider [em]very[/em] carefully before pursuing a romantic relationship with a co-worker.
Let's consider just the relationship aspect. Most relationships start with fluffy, effusive, New Relationship Energy, and all is giggles and happiness for a while. Sad to say, this state never lasts, and your relationship will either move into long-term stability or (more likely) flame out. Maybe it will be amicable, maybe it will be acrimonious. Either way, once you pass this point, you still need to maintain a cordial, professional demeanor toward each other at work. If you're both [em]absolutely sure[/em] you can do this, then your relationship has a shot. If you can't, then one of you is looking at changing positions in the company, or changing jobs entirely.
That's just the basic interpersonal stuff. Now add in office politics, and the myriad laws concerning sexual harassment in the workplace. If you work on the same team or in the same department together, very messy. If you are her superior, or can reasonably be expected to become her superior, then things get exceptionally messy [em]very[/em] quickly. Almost no one masters this. Given that you've described yourself as, "out of practice," in such a situation, you should politely decline, no matter how pretty she may be.
You may also want to speak discreetly to your HR department to see if there are any company policies in place on the subject. Be prepared for a talking to -- if your roles had been reversed, and it had been you who had given her your phone number, that could be construed as harassment. (It's all about subjective perception of who has the power disadvantage in a given interaction.)
Sorry to be a soggy blanket, but romance in the workplace is seriously hairy bananas, and caution can only inure to your benefit.
