asking out a coworker

We've got a new girl at work. She and I seem to get along pretty well, when she leaves at night she passes by my dept., gives a little wave, smile and says "goodnight". She's pretty cute, nice, funny and I like her nerdy glasses too ;-)

I have very good reason to believe that there is no boyfriend in the picture. She's never mentioned one. She just had her birthday and the only celebrating she was going to do was have dinner with her parents. So I think I should make a move and ask her to dinner.

What is the best way to try to get her alone to ask her to dinner? I'm thinking that I should probably try to catch her alone in the breakroom sometime. She's got to pass my department to get there w/her lunch, so that might be a good opportunity to snag her ;-)

Anyone think I'm on the right track? Any other suggestions? I want to be careful and very informal about the whole things since she's a coworker.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised I did it since it seemed a bit awkward. Oh well though, at least I didn't act like the dinner was a big deal or anything. So I didn't make a total fool out of myself :-)
