How would you go about asking a girl from your workplace out on a date?
Go directly to her and ask while others are watching or try and keep it low key, mail her?
Been working at town hall's engineering department for a year now and yesterday a new girl started.
Not sure what department she's in but one of the veterans gave her a tour and I got to shake her hand.

I mean idk, get to know her first. It's kinda weird imo to just approach a person you just met at work and ask them out.

You first need a reason to go talk to her. Get creative and find a way to have reasonable excuse to talk to her. That could simply be, "hey, do you guys have a stapler I can borrow? I'm over in the Engineering dept. and it's a mad house trying to find ours. I promise I'll give it back." Now, while she gets you the stapler is a time for you to small talk. Simple and light small talk cause you only have a few seconds. Get the stapler and leave.
>how's the office been treating you?
>do you have everything you need?
>you new to the area?
If she didn't return any questions like, "how long have you worked here? What kind of work do you do?" then just get the stapler, say thanks, and walk away.
Now you have a second reason to talk to her, the return of the stapler. Give her the stapler first and say thanks. In a real sense all of these interactions are confrontations. She's a female and a small part of her brain is thinking RAPE IMMINENT because you are a stranger to her, so don't do anything that makes it seem like you're cornering her or holding her ransom in exchange for small talk. If you're a big guy like me then one tip is to not square your shoulders with hers. Do you know what that means? People in the early stages of getting to know one another need to feel that they aren't the exact center of the other persons attention. Angle your shoulders and stance as to not be fixated on her specifically. This will allow her to have a lower level of anxiety and increase her chances of allowing you to get away with with more small talk.
You may instinctively do all of this but I'm writing it out in case you are as inexperienced with talking to girls as I once was.

Just asking her on a date seems easier than making shit up.

Just talk to her and get to know her without the lies and manipulation. Then after you have talked a bit and you know her a little more ask her to coffee.

ask your boss to ask her for you.

Or OP could avoid all of this and buy her flowers, and read her a poem.

You don't go out buying flowers and poems for someone who you met once and know nothing about.
She could be a hardcore feminist for all OP knows and would start screaming rape accusations and mah patriarchy if he did that.
