What if the woman likes the atention, but she's being coy by pretending she doesn't?

In your case, is your reaction to flirting from a guy you have no attraction to going to be the same as from a guy you do find attractive, assuming that the way they flirted was exactly the same and not by itself over-the-line?
Because you don't flirt with someone unless you know them very well.

I'd say never approach a woman with non-professional interest in her in the workplace unless you are very familiar with her and then, if she shows no interest, drop it immediately. Whether she is being coy or not is totally irrelevant.
