I've looked up this question on Reddit and Google, but haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer. I decided to start my own thread here with my own case.

A few months ago I started at my current job, which is far from professional. I can without hesitation joke around or do things unrelated to work around colleagues and my boss (all of which are female). Because of this, I have developed natural friendships with my colleagues.

I've been sort of interested in one of my colleagues for a while now and my gut is telling me that she is too.

First of all, I am twenty years old and she is in her late twenties. We have talked about sex, masturbation and other personal things with each other on multiple occasions. She also mentioned to me in casual conversation within context that she is really horny (relatively speaking). She has even told me that she hooked up with a guy my age and has commented on the looks of some of my friends.

Currently, she is fooling around with a completely different guy. She has previously asked me for advice regarding their relationship. Apparently she told him that there's only a physical attraction between them, but he wanted more and got upset with her because of it.

I'm almost sure that she is attracted to me. I workout at the same gym as her and she has complimented my physique on occasion. At one point she changed her shirt in front of me (probably meaningless, but I guess it is worth mentioning). She likes to grab my butt, touch me on my arm, extend phone calls, I often make her laugh etc.

I'm unsure what the next step is. My "plan" to put it bluntly, is to tell her that I'm sexually frustrated at the moment and casually comment that having a friend with benefits would be the dream. I'm also considering whether or not to tell her that I haven't actually had sex before - only a blowjob. Perhaps that a friend with benefits could be my teacher.

Am I actually being stupid and overthinking what is only a dream, or do I have a shot here? What should I do?
