Office Crush

[JarrodHalsey]

There is this woman that I work with that I have the biggest crush on. We also live in neighboring areas. I've never done a work romance, so I'm kinda stumped as to what to do. Part of me thinks, that since we see each other everyday, play it super-cool. Make some summer hang out plans and see if it leads anywhere naturally. The other part of me wants to make a move. Aside from the fact I don't want to sit back while some other dude swoops in OR fall RIGHT into the friends-zone, if she's interested in me, we can proceed in pursuing something. And if she's not, we can get the awkward unrequited feelings phase over and done with sooner rather than later.

Thoughts?

Work romance.. proceed with caution.

Honestly though, you might need to wait a little before starting a relationship since you JUST went into a break with one, right? Have you even ended that other one yet?

[JarrodHalsey]

Break? Think you have me confused with another poster.

Oh hell, I do.

You were the one where that evil tramp tricked you online.

Hell, go for it then I say!

Dude you need to be careful. Herassment laws and stuff. And you may not want to think about it but what happens if you guys break up?

I'll definitely be as respectful as possible and if she's not interested, I'll leave it at that. But fear of what bad things may happen is NEVER a deterrent for me to take a chance on ANYTHING.

well then as long as ur careful and respectful I say go for it. I'm currently dating one of my co-workers Our one year anivarsary is coming up.

Just be careful. If the romance ends badly it'll be a very awkward working environment.

lol. Awkward I can deal with. But she's holed up in her office most of the day, so it won't be too bad if things fall through.

[someonelse]

yah as long as u guys aren't working directly together then u should be ok.

[JarrodHalsey]

lol. nah. I can barely deal with myself all day, let alone a sig other!

[someonelse]

[zoso]

I'm assuming he meant "significant other".

[JarrodHalsey]

I'm assuming he meant "significant other".

Yes indeed!

I like your perspective on the situation.

Why not go for it, good luck!
