I know there must be a million different
scenarios when dealing with this topic, so
I'll lay out a situation and you tell me
if you think this might be a good or bad
idea?
A man and a woman work in the same
building, different bosses and
responsibilities though. She's much
younger, 23, he is 39. She is attracted
to him, and he her, and they flirt by
email only (so far). Odds are he'll be
employed there until retirement age, but
she'll move on to a higher position in a
different building or out of the company
completely within a couple years.
So if you're that guy or gal, do you go
for it?

Why wouldn't you date them? I'm not
suggesting marriage or anything, but
dating for awhile, seems okay by me!
I can see how a break up might affect you
in the halls or at company events and what
not, but that is just the price we pay for
relationships, right??

Yes. I'd get to know each other as friends
first, but then yes I'd go for it.

I'm just really feeling things out with
her now, I don't think I'm ready to
actually "date"...I am ready for some fun
though, but this one would be someone I
would want to date, so I dont want to get
involved with her now.
Honestly, I don't see a problem with it
(dating as coworkers)...we're both adults
right? I think I'd say something up front
like "you know if this doesn't work out
for whatever reasons, let's promise each
other to not let it affect our jobs". I
think for both sides that would be good
and agreeable, even if it ended ugly. Why
lose your job by making an ass out of
yourself if she does you wrong....
We are flirting on email and passing in
the halls, I think she really likes me.
She is much younger than I am (39 - 23),
and Im sure that will bring out a whole
set of unique problems, but I'm game! Did
I mention she's HOT!?!
