Want to ask her out but the time isn't right. Should I still go for it?

Take it easy. You don't love her, you have really high attraction to her. Love comes after dating a woman for several months. Woman will run away from you if they figure out you are so in love with them even before the first date. Woman fall in love slowly in time, if you are "in love" since day 1 they are going to feel that they probably loose their freedom with you quickly and they don't like it at all.

If she likes you, it doesn't going to matter. She is going to be glad to go out with you to have fun and take her head out her mother problems for a few hours. If she is not into you, she is going to use he mother issue to reject you without hurting your feelings.

Go for it, a man always go after what they want without fear.

Of course she notice it, woman know when they are been hit by man and also know that if you do it but don't ask her out you are probably affraid of rejection or don't have the balls to do it.

More reasons to make you move and see what happens.

Go for it, if she say yes. great, go out and have fun with her and see what happens. Don't you dare talking about feelings or relationship with her. Just go out and have fun, if she is into you she will bring it up after a couple of months.
If she turn you down because of her mother or any other excuse tell her that is ok but let you know if she changes her mind, from that moment stop hitting on her, focus your attention in other woman. Until she brings up going out for a date with you, you are over her. never wait for a woman, she is in or out but the is no "maybe later".

 

Sounds good, but DON'T ask her if she's single. That's a beta male approach and she could even take it as an insult. If she's taken and wants you to know, she'll let you know by dropping a reference early in the convo to her boyfriend, fiance or husband. If she doesn't say anything like that within the first few minutes, is answering your questions about her and asking ones about you, then you can comfortably proceed on the assumption she's either single, or in a relationship but open to other options (which may include you).

BTW @p1n1983 has a lot of good insights and advice on dealing with women in this thread and others, so listen to him.

Good luck!

 

Seems like you've got a pretty good handle on things now. Tell us how it goes?

 

Let the girl get straight first .

 

Let her focus on her mother for now. There's no reason to rush things. Her mother clearly isn't going to be in the picture for very long.

 

Those are very good signs, esp. asking about where you live, etc. I'd say you definitely have her interest. Be careful with the whole mom thing though. If you start investing too much into helping her with that you could get friendzoned. Women are really weird that way... they all say they want a man who really listens and who will support them but if you start acting too feminine in that regard it can turn off their physical/sexual attraction to you. Corey Wayne has a ton of great video clips about this on YouTube. I agree with others here, if she's having a serious family issue this may not be the time to escalate the relationship even though it "seems" she might be extra receptive right now.

 

One other thing, you say you are co-workers? Be careful there. Back in the day a lot of companies really frowned on that. Many organizations have come into the 21st century on that as long as you both keep it discreet and don't have a superior/subordinate relationship, but now you have the whole thing about sexual harrassment too. If things go sideways and she files a harrassment claim against you then you could be out both the girl and your job. I'm not saying don't keep going, because initial signals seem promising, but do realize that workplace romances come loaded with a whole extra layer of risk and potential drama and that's why some guys just don't even go there.
