I'm thinking I already know the answer to this question, but hey, I'll ask it anyway.

Would you ever date someone you work with??

Long story short, I've become friendly with a guy at work, hung out a few times, we shared our stories about our ex's. I know I avoid drama for the most part, so if it didn't work out, I'd move on with out the stalking stuff, or any crazy scenes at work, but it's just the level of awkwardness that would occur after.

I don't know....Like I always say....I hate this dating crap..grrr

In a word.. "YES" its a bad idea and "No" I wouldn't date someone I worked with.

Odds are things won't work out and then you've really messed yourself up because you'll be running into each other constantly and it's just going to be really weird and upsetting.

It's just not worth it.

Go do some online dating or hit the bars with your friends and meet someone that doesn't happen to be in the same building as you are from 9 to 5 each and every day.

Well, I won't be hitting the bars....I'm a bit old for that.

Yeah, I think I will have to pass on it. I thin it's going to be awkward no matter what, we had some pretty intense convos, I guess when he gets back from vacation we'll see how awkward things get.

Btw, I've never dated someone I worked with, but a weird thing happened to me when I was dating my ex when we first met 24 years ago. A guy had a crush on me at a place I was working, and of course I rejected the guy...things became stalkerish on his side, and my ex basically had to take things into his hands....literally. We laughed at it years later, but it was scary.

I don't remember your story???

I also worked with my hubby. That's where we met.

However, he worked in a different department from me, so it did not cause any work strain, or complications with job duties, etc....

We've been together for 22 years now. Sure, we've got our ups & downs.. but.. we work it out in the long run.

If it was someone that worked in the same section/ area as me.. then no, I wouldn't date/go out with them singularily. (Group date?)
But... If you worked as secretary in 4th floor.. & he was mailroom attendant, or janitor.. sure!
