Get fixed and say OK I'm ready to try this now.
Seriously, like you already pointed out a dad should be there for their kids, that is the most important part.
Having kids is awesome by the way, they do change your life but in a good way.

Well you already pointed out you do not want kids.
So.... hmmmmm... I would say you goto your local store find the condom section....buy some (don't forget lube)..... call her up, and, since you both have mutual feelings it seems spend some quality fun time together.
Wait your going to have to get off your computer first.

I am not interested in her, in the least, and especially not with a co-worker.
Why fight a chemical reaction.
So which one is it.
No offense, but I was merely making a suggestion.
I did read the threads btw.
No hard feelings.

It is indeed good to hear that she has backed off.
I am in agreement with the others in thinking that it would not be in your best interests to have given in. One aspect that I thought of. You mentioned having paternal instincts. Assuming that you were to go through with this. Assuming that there were a boatload of paperwork absolving you of any responsibilitys. Assuming that she kept her word. What is to say that someday you wouldn't want to get involved with the kid? If so wouldn't that be a breach of contract? You would be fighting off the paternalistic urge to get involved with his/her life. And if you ended up getting involved with the kid's life (with the mother's blessing) how hard do you feel that you would have to strangle the urge to say "Because I'm your father and you will listen to me"? Let's face it while I have no kids of my own, I've talked with a number of parents and one thing that seems to be universal is that on occasion the kid will ask "Why do I have to do what you say? What right do you have to say what I may or may not do?".
As another thought, perhaps the woman is craving the attention that Pregnant women can receive?
I told her no, flatly.
She asked why not, I stated I don't want to be a father.
She stated there was no financial obligations, I still said no.
She then asked why I do not want to be a sperm donor, I stated that if I have a child, I want to be there for the child in all ways, as I come from a broken home and understand fully not having My father there, and having a step-father instead when I wanted it the other way around. I have since changed that view altogether as the father was more interested in laying in the bottom of an alcohol bottle than being a part of his family. He was, is, and always will be a complete stranger to Me.
She asked jokingly if that meant I wanted to move in, I said a flat no.
She offered that I could be there in all ways for the child, I still stated no.
I her every offer, and she still kept on pushing.
