Go find yourself another job, maybe one that pays better, and then come back and explain you respected her decision not to date coworkers, so you left and now here you are to ask her out. Worst-case scenario, you have no girl and a new job- and if the new job pays better and doesn't burn gas, then all the better.

One thing I wouldn't try to do is "convince" her of why it's ok to date people she works with, or make it seem ok because you'd rarely ever see her. Even if she goes for it, the first peep of gossip will send her running, and permanently. Good luck!
