Love in the office?
| Mon, 07-24-2006 - 10:13am |
Hi,
I'm 35 years old and not yet married, and I would like to ask you all for some advice.
In my project group at work, there's a girl in her late 20's who I'm very interested in. But I'm afraid that making a move will disrupt my professional relations with her. I'm especially afraid of the awkwardness that would ensue if she rejects me, since I see her every day. Should I still go after her though?
I posted a poll on this at pollground.com - please answer it when you have the chance.
Thanks!
Emmanuel

If you can be mature and discreet and you think she can too, I see no reason for it.
I don't rule anyone from the office if I feel this person wouldn't tell our business and wouldn't go ballistic and immature and bring things into the office if things don't work out.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it!!!
I've done office romances twice, and when they ended (and not necessarily terribly), it was horrible to still have to be professional around them.
I know that most times, it's hard to meet people outside of the office, because that's where you spend most of your life, but in my history, I've never seen it work out well for anyone I know...
Sorry to be a downer...
