The office hottie & questions about sexual harassment.
It depends on how bad the one time was . If you whip out your penis, I'm sure you'll be fired faster than you can say "I was just kidding" .
But usually, one time is not nearly enough to be guilty of sexual harrasment (it has to be continous).

That's not a concern where I work. I work a primarily male profession, and we don't have many women. I did ask one of our dispatchers out once. But I probably shouldn't have- that may have been risky. Well she turned me down anyways- I totally misread the signs she was giving me. All the women where I work aren't very attractive anyways, even the one I asked out. Although there is one girl who I find incredibly hot. I heard she was married, but she never wears her wedding ring- possibly because it might interfere with her work, but I don't see how.
Some workplaces can handle office romance better than others. I work at a hospital, and this place is pretty good about facilitating dating. It's only against the rules for someone to date their subordinate. As there are numerous departments and units this means that there are a lot of people to date besides those who work for you, or even immediately around you. In addition, there are three shifts for people to spread themselves between, which means that if something goes wrong with the cutie from 2N on the midnight shift, you can always avoid her by transferring to the evening shift. Plus this place is big, we have over 2000 employees and three campuses and several smaller facilities as well. About 70% of our employees are women, which is great for those who are attracted to women of course.
I've dated several women in the years I've been here, and over half of the time they've asked me out. One woman who I asked out has worked out very well for me though, and we're still together after 6 years.
He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

Or do we?
do you normally whip out your penis when asking women out?
Depends on the girl .

that's "severe OR pervasive"
You have to consider two things:
First, harassment. Harassment is in the reasonable mind of the harassee. You might not think you're harassing her. But if she thinks you are...and she's being reasonable...then you're in big trouble. The good news is...harassment has to be unwanted. So if she's okay with it, you're probably in the clear.
Second: wisdom. My motto is "don't get your honey where you get your money." Let's say, you two start dating. You fall madly in love. Then, she dumps you like yesterday's garbage and starts dating some other guy where you work. Everytime you see them together, you want to die, or maybe kill them. Not a good situation.
What you should do in the situation you're in is to get her phone number and pass it along to me. I'll be happy to take her off your hands for you.l
As Chris Rock explains, the conditions for sexual harassment depends on how good-looking you are....
Call up some old girlfriends and ask for an honest opinion first. If you don't have any old girlfriends, you might want to consult your lawyer before approaching this woman...
As for whether or not office romances are a good idea, I can certainly say that dorm romances are not a good idea... and that's about the same level of interaction... I mean, never mind if things go wrong, it still can get complicated even if things are working out. But I've never had a relationship with anyone I've worked with especially since my only two jobs were in a gas station and working in a factory with a bunch of Jamaicans.
