To do or not to do that is the question... lol
Hey guys, so the question has to be....do you think pursuing a work mate is a good idea? and if so, what flirting is acceptable with a work mate (so that if they dont feel the same you dont get fired!! mad )
Nope leave well alone.
IMO not a good idea at all.
Might cause all sorts of problems in the future.
cool

Seriously - No. It would make a difference or make ot okay.
Not so seriously.
This subject makes me piss my pants and make me think of H:B everytime it's airid or mentioned. So thanks for bringing it up.
For those that don't know her - she's pretty much as "sexual" as I am.
As and when she come across "possibilities" (???) at or involved with work she has a very special little mantra that she repeats to herself. Her example of it both gives me the hard, and makes me giggle.
My aunt and uncle used to work at the same firm for several years. They met at work, got married and are still married although they no longer work for the same company. Works for some but not for others I guess dunno
IMO unless it was a very large firm and you didn't bump into each other on a daily basis then I would say don't do it.
On the other hand i turned down a girl i used to work with (and really fancied) because i didn't want to get involved with someone i worked with (and she had a boyfriend). A few months later i'd moved to another branch and found out she'd split with her b/f about i week after i left but was seeing someone else by the time i found out. piss poor timing all round :doh: :cry:
that sux meat...didnt go back for a (excuse the phrase) stab then? lol
Not a place a I will ever go.......... Im meant to be a role model :angel:
Actually we were married for 10 yrs so it wasnt all bad
although i wouldnt recommend working with a partner unless like celery says its a big place and you wont be in each others pockets

role model anais?? mmm maybe..but definitely not an innocent angel!! lol

Nope, did go and visit her (and her b/f) at uni, but she was well loved up by then so i'm afraid i lost out, and to be fair her b/f was a really top bloke

ohhhhhhhhhhh okay, my halo is rolling down the M1 as I speak wink :lol:
I do have to behave to a certain standard thats expected of me though, if I dont I *could* be made an example of and my behaviour would have a negative impact on my work and organisation. Heck, id be the talk the of neighbourhood confused :? :?
Thats why Im a bit of a loner really, I keep my home life totally away from work and vice versa.
That can all change next week when I join the unemplyment ranks smile :wink:

Oh dear, tricky one especially if you really really like her! I had a fling with a work colleague many years ago, it was great at the time just what I needed, but he was young and he loved having the "older woman" thing I think so when it ended he was a bit bitter. I wondered for a while why so many men would walk past me and smile and I later found out why. Every bit of our fling had been described in detail and I was in my opinion a laughing stock.
It's not worth the hassle if it doesn't work out esp if you work closely together.. defo think twice smile
I was given some advice that I've never forgotton - never fuck the payroll! lol
Might be good when things are good but can be a nightmare when things stop or go sour. Stay well alone!
biggrin nice one slough..really good point.
god jaymar that sounds a nightmare...are you still at the same company?

biggrin i have done it with a secretary at work but this was on a work night out, a bit of fun turned into a bit more.
looking back though i would say its not a good idea.
workmates= fair game
boss/employee=no way..........

working together and going out would be hell to me, i think we all need time a part, also you would bring your work home

I've been there, done that too.
He worked on the same floor as me but different department. It was open plan across the whole floor so we were able to do the whole eye contact flirting stuff :twisted:
We used to go out together at lunchtimes as well and it was really good while it was all going well. Once I decided he wasn't the one for me (it was all sexual attraction and nothing to talk about confused ) I ended it and soon after got engaged to Lairdy. The rest they say is history!
If you are going to have a relationship with a workmate, mentally put yourself in the position of "if we have split up" first and see how you think you'll feel seeing them every day and if it feels too awkward then don't do it is my advice.

This is how me and my best mate got involved. We hit it off as friends the minute we met and he was my rock when my marriage broke up. We eventually got more intimate over time but as it was too complicated, we decided to stop that and get back to being best mates. He's my most trusted mate, my soulmate, my best friend for life and I love him dearly. We still see each other socially and love spending time together. That intimacy we shared for a while has brought us closer together as friends. We've only ever had a couple of minor rows but it doesn't take much to get us back on speaking terms and we still are in contact daily.
I would say be very careful when pursuing a workmate. It will either go really well ( as I've seen with others ) or it could bite you on the ass with the biggest ass-biting teeth you can imagine.
Remember, whatever happens between you, good or bad, you still have to work together.
Good luck

It can work..............it's worked for us.
Stuart was an apprentice in the wood-mill and I was receptionist when we met. We worked together until I had our first child. We eventually moved home, moved county and bought a business where we worked together all day every day. We're still together - even after 26 years marriage.
I'm not saying it works for everyone but it certainly did for us. It just shows that if you meet the right person nothing will stop you being happy together.
