Alright ignoring the fact that this is a chick who likes the things you like, PLUS plays video games, PLUS watches anime PLUS seems to really really like you. Come clean dude, take her out to lunch or something and explain the bad experience you had with workplace romance and that's it. Maybe she'll even wait till May who knows? Honesty sucker.

Listen to this guy. Just talk to her and tell her exactly what's on your mind. Sometimes you have to have faith in just sharing what's on your mind instead of padding around and making something stupid up.
Seriously, you too? Well, I feel a little better now. I thought I was putting out some strange signal or something.

As the other person mentioned in this post, I have to agree with Lath's sentiment.

I am having second thoughts about the authenticity of this story though, as philosophy majors do not have jobs

ROOFLES.
This (topic of thread) has been a problem with me as well. I am not looking for women at all right now and because of this I put on this standoffish, sarcastic attitude with any girls around me. On top of the sarcasm I'll also say some brutally honest things to them (things that are typically not kosher in a social setting) to imply that I don't really care about their feelings. Guess what? I don't think I've turned off any girl I've tried that with. The paradox is that I refuse to gush over a girl because I'm trying to avoid getting involved with anyone right now. (Do "they" possibly sense this is a challenge.. can they smell such things???)
Another complication is that the place I work at (university biology labs building) is chock full of women (although the majority of them are taken - married or engaged).
On the upside, I'm beginning to understand this strange power I possess.
An additional note, my advisor has a couple of rotators passing through our lab right now. Both are female, but only one is "available", and the available one is the one that my advisor would like to win over (she has her own funding). I think my advisor is actually USING me to help woo her to our lab... and not just in the sophisticated, "look at the intellectual powerhouse here that you can rub shoulders with" but more like "hey, this is a good guy you might be interested in... he's here everyday... and oh yeah, he does science, blah, blah, blah." I think she's pimping me. I realized her plan the other day when I found myself spiraling into the cocky but funny cycle of death with her. She knew this would happen. I feel dirty.
I have also fallen victim to cubsfans brilliant advice (There should have been a warning about using it where you work).
Fuck me, thats an awesome idea.
In this case though, Azih has some sound advice, though i wouldnt make such a big thing of it as to take her out to lunch, that could potentially embarrass her (she probably thinks she's being really subtle) and screw up your work situation. I'd just just drop it into casual conversation, ie start up a conversation about your ex (say she just rang or something), then when she asks, "what happened" explain the whole thing about how you worked together and how you'd never date anyone you worked with again.

The Staminator says...STAMINATE HER!! I've done it before (pork a co-worker, that is), with the endorsement of this board no less. Of course I'm still dealing with the incessant rumors that persist to this day (months and months after Stamination), but you have to look at it this way:
People are gonna talk about you regardless. Would you rather have them alleging you were gay, or would you rather have them talk about how you serviced Miss Needindick something proper?

Yeap, that would be my advise also. I used it once and it worked ok. Offcourse she was a classmate, a couple of days later in class our professor asked each student to say a characteristic of the perfect woman/man. I said she has to be inteligent, next thing I know she was whispering to her friends telling them how she must be an idiot. That worked well.
