Is it a good idea or a bad one, and how would you ask some one you work
if they are interested?

I think it's a bad move to date someone at work.

If it doesn't work out, you are STUCK seeing that person more than you
like. Also, people at work can know your business.

It's just an awkward situation.

Some company's have policy abbut this...

Its difficult as I have been attracted to many of the men at work. I
spend 40+ hours a week there, we have common interests, a common goal,
the same "friends", and there is a sense of intimacy created.

That being said I have to yet to have a relationship with a co-worker...
just inappropriate flirting and the married ones are strictly OFF
limits.
:wink:

My advice - be careful, there are more consequences involved with dating
co-w0rkers.

ok i have had a few crushes at work but i never act on them mostly coz i
would hate to see the man i am dating ALL day. then i would have nothin
to say when i ask "how was your day?" i also think its just good
business practice as it keeps a professional work environment. i do
office flirts.

Like goddess said, i work 40hrs a week, im with these people more than
my friends. We are already rather close, so why not go for it. But if
things go bad, it ruins not only the relationship, but the atmospher at
work. But what if i realy want to take the "office friendship" to a
different level. How does one weigh the pros and cons of a situation
he's compleatly biased agenced?

Kenny
Make sure you're equally invested in the relationships (potential) and
be discreet.

discretion is professionalism. think politics.

if you are good at keeping boundaries in your personal/professional life
you should be aight. ok, thats all of my 2 cents.

i like what mick said.

I don't know, if it were me it always turns into a negative streak lol.

I guess it does depend on the person and their maturity. With my luck
the person would make a scene or it would just be highly uncomforable

I dated somebody I worked with for 3 years. I don't think I'd do it
again though. Work stuff gets dragged outside and vice versa. Too many
problems.
