Dating

How do you ask someone that you are working with out on a "date" without it being uncomfortable? Heck, how do you ask them if they want to hang out without them thinking your intentions are more than just hanging out? The guy that I do shift change with in the mornings is a really nice guy, and I've found myself developing a bit of a crush on him. Which is totally weird for me because I really haven't "crushed" on anyone since High School. Anyways, he's fun to talk to at work and I thought it would be cool to maybe hang out with him outside of the work environment. I'm a huge wussy though, so of course, I never asked. Plus, he is going through a divorce, with a woman he works with. Technically, she probably is one of my bosses. She has a new boyfriend though, and things seem to be okay between the two of them. Anyways, what is one to do? He's got two kids and I have my little one, he works days and I work nights, how would it even work? I'm probably putting way too much thought into it, but it would be nice to get out with someone new. I know that Selena's father and I will never be married, half the time I think we are just putting up with eachother for her sake. Is it so wrong to want a companion? I don't know...
