You never park where you eat. ...or poop in your own nest...and that is EXACTLY what the end result usually is!

So I made the mistake of dating someone at work, it got serious, we dated for over a year and got pretty involved. To make a long story short, she dumped me. It sucked. I waited a few weeks, thinking she would change her mind, come to her senses, whatever. It never happened. That was a few months ago. In the meantime, I was working closely with this gal I have known for several years, but never thought I had a chance with - a little out of my league if you know what I mean. I have really gotten to know her over the past few months and not only is she beautiful, I have really grown to like her. She has made it very obvious, since she found out I have broken up with the first woman, that she is intersted. Normally, I would have asked her out by now. But if things were to not work out, I might as well quit my job, because she could make my life a living hell. My job is very important to me. I have worked a long time to get into the position I am in with this company. It's simple right? There will be other gorgeous, intelligent, funny, independent women - right? And this folks is why dating someone in your workplace is a definite no-no. Not only will you have to endure the weirdness that would be in dealing with with post-break-up weirdness, but you'd also have to endure the gossip and drama that'd surely come from fellow cubicle-dwellers at the water-cooler. Not only that, but you can also kiss your career goodbye if the ex manages to slip in some not-too-pleasant information about you to a superior or manager. In other words, your name will be "mud" in more ways you can imagine. Sheesh... you'd probably be better off dating and dealing with a stripper... but not by much. |

Update: I'm letting it die a slow death. She asked me out on the proverbial date with group of friends. Thank God I already had plans. Just keeping things polite and friendly, at this point. She'll forget about me in a few weeks when somebody else asks her out.

I have already dated someone from work....it was not a good idea due to all the work problems it caused me but I am very glad I met this person despite the problems. We dated for one year at work. I left and worked someplace else. Two years later we are still friends.
It is tough for me to give advice about this issue. |
