If you love your job and want to keep it, and your company forbids relationships between coworkers, consider dating someone from outside of your job.
You might say something like “Sally, I know that we work together, but I really like you. I’m hoping you’ll go out with me this weekend if you’re free. I know this could potentially put us in an awkward situation, so I understand if your answer is no. ”
You can ask your coworkers questions like “So I know Marsha and Ashley and Jim and Marissa started dating while working here. Do you know of anyone else who dates or has dated here in the office?”
Keep your conversations at work completely business related.
Don’t tell them anything that could damage your career.
Continue to read, dance, ride horses or do whatever else you enjoy, as well.
