griz Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 The women at my work seem to all be in heat these days. I've been asked out by 4 different gals at work in the past couple months and the Fedex gal keeps hinting too. It's all very nice except I don't shit where I sleep. It's a rule I have and it keeps work as drama free as possible. A couple are pretty cute though and I wouldn't mind banging thier heads against the headboard for a few evenings but that's about it. One of these gals even still has a frickin' boyfriend(and unfortunately the most bangable too).Anybody have any of their own guidelines about dating in the work place?, horror stories, success stories or even advice?

ashw_justin Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Man, wow, that sucks. I luckily, have no women asking me out. If it's someone you have to see at work every day, bad idea. Total romance killer and so sucky if it stops working (inevitable). ps. sounds like maybe you are the one in heat, bro! Let 'em fight it out and keep the winner! hahaha Quote
swaterfall Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I don't shit where I sleep If you are using that cliche as an analogy for dating at work then you equate dating with shit and work with sleep... My advice, seek help. I'm joking. I wouldn't date anyone that you work directly with on a day to day basis. You open yourself up to a whole host of legal actions in addition to the emotional stress.

cj001f Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Don't date anyone at your company. Ever. Not fun. Quote
scott_harpell Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I "go out" with co-workers, but never date them. Bad news. Nothing better than a little coffee break nookie, though I haven't had the chance to do that in years as I now work exclusively with males. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 As long as you're both mature about it, it really shouldn't make a difference whether you work together or not. Quote
slothrop Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 As long as no one's got a position of power over the other, go for it. Especially if you don't like your job. Quote
badvoodoo Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Done it twice, and so far no problems so long as interaction at work was kept strictly professional. But frankly, I doubt I'd do it again, because the potential for disaster is too great, and I feel like I've tempted fate enough. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 As long as you're both mature about it, it really shouldn't make a difference whether you work together or not. Where do you find these mature people? Most people are emotional mess-ups and you don't find out until its too late. I agree with the premise though. Quote
Distel32 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I'd say at least go out on one date to feel things out, literally.... my dad and hif gf work together. I now live with my ex-gf, which is a little weird, more weird than just working together. But it is a growing and learning experience you know? I'm much more mature about it than she is though, I'm sure if she were posting it would be much much more negative, trust me Quote
Bogen Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 What if you lived your life like a big first ascent? No guts, no glory. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Go for it griz, it should provide some good gosip and entertainment for your other coworkers. Quote

I agree with the premise though. I dunno, maybe I've just gotten lucky. But I've definitely been in situations where one of the involved parties becomes my TA the following quarter and things could have blown up but they didn't. Quote
griz Posted November 23, 2004 Author Posted November 23, 2004 Go for it griz, it should provide some good gosip and entertainment for your other coworkers. yeah, thanks, but you're probably one of those guys who chants "Jump! Jump! Jump! " to some poor fuck on a ledge too. Quote
catbirdseat Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 First ask yourself the question, "How would I feel about getting fired from my job or being forced to quit?". If the answer is, "I don't care", then by all means, go for it. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 First ask yourself the question, "How would I feel about getting fired from my job or being forced to quit?". If the answer is, "I don't care", then by all means, go for it. If the person is your superior, you could sue under these circumstances (turn-about is fair play). Quote

If the answer is, "I don't care", then by all means, go for it. The question is better phrased "how do you feel about your workplace turning into a catty immature backstabbing freeforall" Quote
jon Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 As long as you're both mature about it, it really shouldn't make a difference whether you work together or not. As long as Lumbergh isn't showing her the O-face as well it is all good. Yeeaaaaaaah. Quote
Dru Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 The scary thing is, check out Griz' profile, it says he works in a mortuary! Don't let those chicks stiff you after the date! Quote
griz Posted November 24, 2004 Author Posted November 24, 2004 The scary thing is, check out Griz' profile, it says he works in a mortuary! Don't let those chicks stiff you after the date! Hey, buddy, I got those new velcro gloves for you that you wanted for x-mas yesterday. Guess you wore out the last pair, huh? Only another month til you can get a better hold of those sheep and get laid again...you'll make it! Quote
