Should I Ask An Older Woman Out On A Date? Options

Unusual topic? Maybe. Just curious as to what y'all think.

I can't really tell if she's interested in me or not, and I am 20 - I would guess she is 40 or 45. I can't tell if she would be flattered or merely laugh that a kid would ask her out. I don't mind being laughed at, but I have to see her somewhat often, so it could be awkward. I am immune to humiliation, but I'd rather not make her uncomfortable.

I know no one else knows what I personally "should" do; I just want some other opinions on my prospects. Can a 20-year-old ask a middle-aged woman out on a date? Is it done? Is it socially unacceptable?

I resolved at around age 5 not to have anything to do with people, and so far the only people I've really had to deal with are my professors... so I'm unsure about these things.

Y'all think it's a bad idea to ask her out at her work? Unfortunately, it's rare that I see her outside of it.

Although I know how I can lure her to my place/hers... (she wants my drugs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol_2.gif)).

Flirt with her, ask her to dinner or coffee, after the date go back to one of yours place, make love, get her number, call her and do it again until you find someone new.

Don’t go up to her saying "wanna bang?", treat her with respect and ask her to coffee, at least seem like your interested in her.

I am interested in her. Now if only I knew how to flirt...
