I can only tell you out of experience that waiting is the least sensible option, both for asking somebody out and for coming up with an answer after having been asked out. One more thing: I was in a relationship with my partner not having that much time for me (even though that was back in school), and while it lasted several years, it started to really... suck, at times.
Oh well that's over now :3

Learn guitar and sing her a song. Mission Fucking Accomplished! Worked for me BTW.

I played "I can be your hero". I hate that song but it did the trick alright.

Tell her how you feel or you will regret it later.

I love love and everyone in it.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm afraid of, she not having time for "us". maybe I should wait until she doesn't have so much on her plate. But on the other hand, waiting might not be a good idea either... GAAAAAAAHH! Love is so hard!

I have a problem... I'm in love with this amazing girl, she's hot, funny, really cool, great with kids, hot, a great swimmer (and therefore packing a swimmer's body), really nice/kind/compassionate but with a wonderful dark sense of humour, and did I mention hot?
Anyway, my problem, or problems if you will, is this:

1) we work together

2)she seems like she has a lot going on in her life (two jobs, swimming practise and school)

3) I'm not sure, but it seems like she only sees me as a friend (although I'm terrible at deciphering what a person thinks of me)

And (this is the big one)
4) she is so amazing that she seems to have a sort of "There's Something About Mary"- thing going on, I can't imagine any guy looking at her and not falling head over heels for her. And even though she's single now, I can't imagine her staying that way for long...

I must have her, but there is a mountain of problems, and I forgot my oxygentank at home, what do you think I should do? there is a poll... If you didn't notice.

EDIT: I really want to know what you Escapists think I should do... Come with tips, tell me how you landed your Dreamgirl. Because even though it might seem like I treat her like an object I actually don't care about that SO much, because she's so great personality wise.

EDIT II: I think I'll remove some of my stupid jokes... *hmmmmm* will this get me more serious answers?

EDIT III: I added the last poll option just now... it seems to be the one most of you would vote for if it was there anyway.
For serious answers try the Relationship Problem Thread, where I have addressed your concerns. The link is here: ---> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161-Relationship-problem-thread?page=27#5280028

Just ask her out. You won't know unless you try, though I was never able to do that so mine slipped away.

What bad would come out of asking her out? Sure it's hard to do but if she likes you in that way it would be worth it, wouldn't it?
Getting rejected doesn't mean that you two can't be friends.

For the record, it doesn't actually work, the best method I find is to ply them with alcohol until, in a moment of weakness, they... oh no wait, it does work.

Getting a girl to notice you is the same in every situation: a bar, work, school, whatever! It's a huge game of some poker; lots of bluffing, exaggeration or downplaying depending on what the subject is. In essence, it's a game. Don't feel bad for thinking about it this way. Now, some people have been able to slightly hit the nail on the head with advise (take it slow, be friendly, firlt a little first = good ideas) some are just way too off to let me stand idle (just asking her = friend zone with hot girls). But luckily, I'm here to give you some A1 advise that'll help you get through this. (whihc is advise that ANY good relationship counselor/book would give you).

There's a reason good pick-up artists are called "smooth operators". That's because they get woemn attracted to them without the woman knowing they've been "tricked". This is your key to success. Because, really, we're looking for a 100% garenteed outcome, right? Again, don't feel bad that the dating game is somewhat underhanded, and you will do things that normally some would call sleezy. I call this fighting for your girl and in the end, a man can ALWAYS fight for his girl!

1. Know yourself. What makes you such a great guy? Think about it, or ask your friend for help, and figure out why people like being around you. Are you funny as hell? Smart? Dependable for advise? A good listener? Get a list together and see what you can form your game plan around. You'll want to make sure these are the qualities you hyper-inflate about yourself. No, you don't want to make them look like a crutch, but they're the ones you want her to remember! Bring ypur A game with these. Next, figure out what turns people off/what your bad habits are. Try to shy away from these when you talk to her. Hide them, pack them away. Once she lieks you, you can address these (which won't be a problem, because her head will be too far in the clouds to care!)

2. Flirt. Be confident when you're around her. Don't just blab and ask her out. Remember, she's smokin' hot! She probably gets tons of guys that just go up to her and beg her to go out with them. You want to seperate yourself from them and look like the perfect guy. How do you do that? Smile, be polite, compliment her. Essentially, act like a boyfriend and not just a friend. Girls are big on impressions. If you're acting like a potential mate, she'll categorize you as a suiter. If you act like a friend, well buddy, that's all you're going to be. Be aggressive without out-right showing it through the small things and she'll pick up the hint. Do things like leaning in when she speak (if you're sitting), always be looking at her when she's speaking, use those good qualities to good use (make jokes, talk about interests, mention other things you have going on during the week even if you have to make them up, etc).

3. Tease. I call it teasing because this is essentially what you do. She's the lion and you're the meat and you want to dangle yourself as close as possible without her being able to reach you. Playing hard to get is not a bad thing, unless you out-right shut her out. Keep being flirty, but make yourself seme unavailable. Girls love the chase just as much as guys, they just don't show it outwardly like men. They want their man to come to them and if you resist their allure, they'll start putting on the charm themselves. But remember! don't go in just yet. You want to make her feel like all her charming powers are somewhat futile. You want to get it through her subconsious that you are not another guy she can wrap her finger around. I use subconsious because though some girls believe they're pure, no one is. They do it subconsiously, which is what attraction is about: using a girl's instincts against her to hyper-inflate how awesome you are to her. The only thing you need to watch out for is making sure you don't turn her off by being too hard to get, which leads up to my next point.

4. Read her. Girls have queues if they like a guy. Learn what these are! A few basic ones are hugging herself (not crossing her arms, learn the difference), adjusting her hair, touching her ear, smiling, shifting her feet, rubbing her legs together, anything squirmy or fidgity, really. It means she's ready to pounce (I wish I was joking) and that she really digs what you're bringing to the table. Let this go on for a couple conversations (maybe two, three at the most) before you pop the question about going on a date. If you've done it right, she'll be all over the offer and BAM! you've got your girl.

Yes, it's that simple. After this, you can do whatever you want, whether it's letting her jump your bone or forming a relationship. Remember that in the latter, you want to keep this up. Make yourself busy on purpose, mix up what days you go out as if you're too busy to commit to a schedual, leave her notes that tease her about how you miss her, and so on and so forth. You need to keep her interest level in you high if you want to keep her. But that comes with getting to know her on those dates, as well, so those are just some good examples of what normally works, not nessesarily what works on her. For example, my current interest loves to be showered with compliments, so heaping attention adn spending a lot of time with her is what she prefers. But that's all apart of reading your girl.

Hope my advise helps and you take it to heart!

Well, this one tip you should take to your heart: waiting is the worst decision. I learned that lesson for sure.

Ask one of her friends whether she likes you like that, and then if yes, score, go for it.
