I (M) am looking for some advice. I'm interested in a female coworker, and ultimately, I'd be open to exploring a potential romantic relationship if there's a spark.

How can I smoothly transition from being colleagues to something more? I actually invited her to chat about "work-related things", and she said yes. This is a good chance to get to know her better and see if there's a connection. This will be our first face-to-face conversation ever.

Thanks in advance!
