The fabled co-worker/relationship conversion

So I work in a Greek restaurant with this girl over the summer. I was wondering what would be an unawkward way to approach her. Since it's a 5-day a week job, I'm not in a hurry or anything, but I'd definatley want to make sure our personalities mesh before showing any romatic interest prematurely.

You see them at work/class, you see them outside work/class, you think of them when you don't see them. You're going to get bored of seeing her real fast.
I bet most marriages in the USA are based on people meeting at work/school. Just a guess though. But regardless, bars/restaurants don't count in the whole "don't poop where you eat" calculus as everyone who works at a restaurant/bar is tradition bound to bang everyone else who works there.

That's exactly how my wife and I met. We worked together over one summer, had we been afraid of the ol "work relationship" we would have missed out. I say go for it.
I'm going to have to disagree 100% ... I met my current girlfiend at a retail job (she happens to be my boss) and we went to the university and we have been happy and together for nearly two years now. I think it really just depends on how much time you have to spend on your own. If you see this girl all day at work/class and then you would spend all night with them then things could get a little hairy, but otherwise as long as you get some good alone time it shouldn't be a problem.
For an un-awkward way to approach, you basically need to find out what shes into and just stumble into a conversation. I'd go along with the 'bash our job' line of thinking. Normally everyone likes to piss and moan about the job so that is a good way to throw your foot in the door.
I'll second that. I met the woman of my dreams at our place of work. now, this is a part time job work, but still, we worked together as much as 5 days a week. Started dating a year and a half ago, and we plan to eventually get married.
However, I've seen it go the other way, and nasty breakups at work are a very.....very unpleasent thing to be around, especially for those who were not in the relationship, because often, they get drug into it.
However, your current job is unlikely to be your career job. And given the line of work, there would be little preventing you from simply working at another restaurant, even if things did go sour.
After he broke up with his fiance the week before.
Yeah, really, if you two like each other's company, you won't get tired of seeing each other, at least not if you still have opportunities to get out and socialize with your friends. If she can get into the same pastimes and hobbies you do, then as long as your dating, you shouldn't get bored with each other.
But for dating co-workers you have to be a lot more certain that you will both be comfortable with each other, and confident that neither of you will do anything stupid that will result in a messy breakup.
how old are you two? that answer opens up all kinds of different doors. are you in school? is she? first things first, start talking to her casually at work and find out her interests.
