    if both parties are happy not to be all weird the next day

    I didn't even get as far as a first date the last time I asked someone in work out.

    turned out I mistook normal friendliness (with a hint of flirting/or perhaps wishful thinking on my part) for interested in me and asked out a girl already in a relationship (probably long term and serious).....which no doubt the dog on the street knew about

    Things I learned

    despite my not wanting it to and making efforts for it not to get weird afterwards..it sort of did (I think) so a workplace relationship gone wrong could have v.awkward social consequences...............although strangely I'm not embarrassed and I really don't care about the car crash of a social situation I've once again bungled my way into in typical inspector clouseauesque fashion (I do care shes with someone else mind but cant do anything about that unfortunately - a professional hit had crossed my mind :D)

    I really should find out if the person already has a significant other (in my defense I'm not on Facebook and I didn't want to be asking questions from others in the workplace)


    Despite this I'd like to say to the OP....ignore the no doubt likely negative consequences if it doesn't work out etc and go for it if you like her................if you do like her and do nothing you will probably regret it more

    such is life...anything worth having or doing comes with risk attached.

    True!
    a funny thing about regret is, that it is better to regret something that you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

    Three hours at Christmas followed by mutual amnesia usually does the trick.

    I'll always remember the day when the new girl from accounts was introduced round the office. 19 years and two kids later, happy days! :)

    The sexual tension between me and my workmate is what led to me becoming with child

    People forget this, you can meet the love of your life anwhere, in any sitution.

    It very misleading, and I was misled in the day too, to believing there is some magical place you can go to meet "the one".

    Teenagers are told they will meet the opposite sex/ same sex if they're gay by going to discos.

    If you just be yourself, and be as confident as you are in your own skin, and meeting new people anything can come of it.

    Work is no different, being mature would probably help though:p.

    That is 100% true....her father didn't like me as it was, got canned within weeks. I did post him back a pair of her knickers though as my little revenge! ;)

    worst idea ever!!

    Years ago I ended up going out with my boss, I was fresh out of college he was obviously a bit older anyway he got a bit intense for my young age at the time and in the heel of the hunt I ended up having to find a new job because it was all a bit to much

    Don't s**t where you eat that's what I say!

    Nay, the only way for an office romance to work out is if one leaves their job and works somewhere else.
