I think that’s the best advice I’ve heard yet.
She doesn’t seem like the type, but then again some of them don’t seem like the type till it’s too late…
And I don’t agree with the people who say stuff like ‘don’t poop where you eat’, especially since i could almost guarantee that if the same thing happened to them, and they had no commitments to anyone else, they would at the very least consider the possibility!
Great input by everyone though, I appreciate it

Let me assure you, no matter how many uses you can think of, men have already thought of many more!
It did. Several times. Every time, considered and dismissed all in the same breath.
But it was still considered! That’s my point 
And you’re probably one of the few that didn’t give in. So many more would go for it even though they tell everyone not to do it.
Live and learn. At best, you’ll get lucky. At worst, you will lose your job and lose a sexual harassment suit.
I owned a business with my first love for ten years. Can’t help but wonder what advice I would have received here with regards to his pen and my company ink.
It is a bit unusual to have someone invade your physical space so soon in a new office job, particularly a female. Usually people, and particularly women, have a bubble of space around them that strangers are not generally allowed to intrude upon.
I’m a nurse, so I invade people’s spaces all the time, but that is expected and even then I announce what I am going to do first before I touch them.
I think it’s too soon to tell if she is just very unguarded or attracted to you, and brushing you strikes me as slightly unprofessional in an office setting. I’d wait a bit to get to know her a little better and then throw out the invitation suggested above if she seems like someone you would like to get to know better.
The only female I know who crowds and touches men, especially new men she has just met, is total nut case and needs constant confirmation that she is attractive and desirable. Her relationships are just like riding a roller coaster- very short trips with dramatic highs and lows.
Take your time. If she’s into you, there is no reason to rush immediately into getting into her pants. She’ll still be there next week.
Take a few weeks to get to know the office, learn some of the power dynamics, and make sure you are not unknowingly walking into something more complicated than it looks. You don’t want to be making out with her at the Christmas party, only to find out that your boss is her ex and she’s trying to make him jealous by jumping the new guy.
Once you have some background, ask her out to dinner or drinks after work. Keep it casual, along the lines of “Hey, next Thursday I was hoping to check out that new Thai place opening down the street. If you are free, I’d love some company. I hear their Pad Thai is amazing.” If she accepts, she is almost certainly interested. If she declines but offers to make concrete plans (“I’m not a big Thai fan, but I’m free on Friday if you want to meet up,)” then she is probably interested.
If she declines and gives vague plans (“Sorry, I have tickets to the Ice Capades that day. But we should, uh, totally meet up one day,”) then she is either not interested in you, or only interested in you as a backup/flirt friend/distraction. You can have one more shot a couple weeks later at making plans with her before it gets creepy, but don’t get your hopes up. After that, she knows you are interested and if the feeling’s mutual she’ll make the next move.
Remember that it’s not unusual for people to flirt at work, even if they are not actually interested in escalating things, because it provides a nice distraction from the tedium of office life. Everyone likes attention, and some people seek that attention in the workplace because you can spend a lot of time with someone flirting, but it’s easy to keep it from going any further. It’s the same reason as why some women cultivate flirty relationships with gay guys. It’s fun and it’s “safe.”
Dating in the workplace isn’t inherently bad, it’s just that it has so much potential to go massively wrong. Most relationships break up, sometimes rather quickly, and you can never know exactly how someone is going to react. Even if you are mature, she may end up being nuts and that could be a lot of trouble. And, frankly, we are poor judges of our own maturity. Even a piece of granite would have trouble keeping it together in close quarters with an ex that they loved who is dating other guys and moving on.
Am I the only one who giggled at this? 
Well I just recently moved country and know very little people. And those that I asked gave really stupid suggestions like “next time it happens grab it” :L I’ve never worked with women before, so obviously I wanted to find out somehow.
Very very true. That’s what I plan on doing anyway
Are you rich or an over average good looking person?
If so, keep it professional and ignore her advances. If she doesn’t get the picture, then pull her aside and tell her.
You need to assert control at some point or it will go unchecked and could cost you a job.
If you’re neither rich nor movie star charming, then tell her you noticed her advances but would like to keep it outside of work - and to be friends first.
EVEN if you’re intentions are just to sleep with her, try the friends thing first.
And you’re absolutely right that females do not notice what they’re doing (ever seen us a drive?). We constantly drop sexuality into everything and use it to our advantage - unfortunately most women are over grown high school girls who use sex as a weapon of mass destruction.
Don’t be fooled by forward females - they’re not in it for your benefit, only their own.
Am I the only one to notice that this flirtatious girl is pretty quick on the trigger?
Before asking yourself how you feel about it…ask yourself why she’s flirting already..before she even knows anything about you.
This is your very first day, your first few hours on the job, and she’s already mashing boobs against you? Not even a hint of going on a date first? Or maybe try just chatting together at the same table for lunch in the company cafeteria?.
The old cliche comes to mind: Is she interested in you as a person, or just interested in your body?
She has other issues on her mind besides getting to know you. Casual hookups may be fine, if you can go home afterwards. or split up and without long-term consequences. But if you are planning to sit side-by-side at the office every day for the next 20 years: be careful!!.
Very Careful.
Do nothing. You ask her questions and she answers? That’s not the sign of someone being into you, that’s someone being nice and helping the new guy. Maybe space is limited, and that’s why she ends up pressed against you, I don’t know.
But it’s safer to do nothing, rather than end up being the creepy new guy hitting on the poor woman who’s been asked to train him.
Agreed.
Casual women are about as useful a casual sex…a lot of hot air and no skills.
Yes, look out for the ‘reversal.’ This is when you are now suddenly sexually harassing her, for simply responding in kind to her advances. She’ll say she wasn’t doing it intentionally or similar. This is happening because to her it’s just a game, and she’s having fun. As soon as you reciprocate, bang, you’ve taken her control away from her and she doesn’t like that.
Yeah, I really hate women who play games like that… Obviously there’s fun in a chase, any guy would say that. But things like that ain’t no fun at all. For the next few weeks at least, I’m just gonna sit back and do nothing. Get to know what kind of a person she is before doing something i’ll regret.
Thanks for all your input guys and gals, I got a great response, much more then I expected

How much do you value this job? Seriously - is it something that if you got fired from you really wouldn’t care about and could easily replace? If so, then bang her. If not, then you need to seriously consider the fact that this woman is going to lead you into a giant pit of suck, and make your life miserable - all for a little tail.
Don’t date your coworkers - it’s an awful idea 99% of the time (and that 1% got *extremely *lucky, and not without a little hardship).
You could always casually brush your penis up against her shoulder as you walk by her desk and see how she responds. If she pulls you into the nearest storage closet and fellates you, she’s totally in to you. If she files a sexual harassment claim against you and you lose your job, she isn’t. Or at least she isn’t anymore.
I met my wife at work. I know many couples who have met at work. There aren’t all that many places to meet people. School, work, church, bars, or just get lucky. If people conduct themselves properly there shouldn’t be a problem.
Several times I’ve been the guy who knows about a secret work relationship, like Joey on Friends. I hate that. Tell everyone or no one. Don’t tell just me.
Wait. Because she could be into you. And she could be into you and crazy. And don’t stick your dick in the crazy. But especially don’t do it where work is involved, because the crazy bitch always wins (or she gets fired, too, but you don’t win…there is no ‘the guy wins’ when its a crazy bitch at work).
Or she could be great and five years from now you’ll be posting baby pictures with your dear sweet wife who isn’t at all crazy. But you don’t need to rush, because the downside on this sucks.
Am I the only one who glanced at the username, thought it was irishgirl, and was VERY confused by the OP?
I am? Okay then…
