Should I ask her out for a casual coffee? Scared!

First of all, she's a supervisor at my part time job. She's extremely quiet around me compared to with other people. With everyone else she talks and jokes, but if I walk into the room she goes silent. She blushes a little when we do talk. If I'm near, I often see her play with/fix her hair. She sometimes stumbles on her words if she talks to me and I see her looking at me from a distance. If we walk past each other, she always gives me a really awkward smile and either avoids eye contact completely or looks at me for longer than usual. Also, I have strong reasons to believe she's into girls.

I have the biggest crush on her. So attracted to her. I was thinking of asking her if she wanted to grab a coffee sometime. I know it's kind of dangerous because she's a supervisor, but my gut instinct is telling me she feels something too. Even if she says no, I know from past interactions that she's a genuine person and wouldn't say anything to embarrass me. I was talking to my best friend about it and she said I should do it. Uh, then again, maybe it's a bad idea. What do you think?

 

Aw thank you I really think I might...
But what do you think about the whole supervisor thing? Does it matter?

 

Thank you - you made me feel much better about it So true. It's nobody else's business. Even if she does say no, I would just put my head down, work, keep things professional and not worry about it.

I might need a bit more time yet, but I will do it!

 

Thanks for the replies everyone - I'm still doing a lot of thinking about it but after working with her the other day I think asking her for coffee might be the best thing to do. Just got to find the right moment.
