  1. Hey I was just wondering whats your take on dating coworkers, awkwardness when you break up or get rejected etc.

     
  2. That never seemed like a good idea - unless you can hande leaving the job if things go bad in the relationship. 
     
  3. pass unless you dont care
     
  4. what if its not a tight knit company like you dont even see them everyday and they work in a different department
     
  5.  
    I've done it. I didn't regret it.
     
    I may be about to do it again tomorrow. Thought most likely not date just.. spend a fun day together. ;)
     
    Idk in my experiences, gradually working into it is the best approach. If you jump in, you could scare her away or create all sorts of attachment issues.
     
    But in the end it's up to you.
     
  6. Id go for it then that doesnt sound too bad
     
  7. so did ya do it ?
     
  8. I met my current boyfriend of almost 5 years at work. We worked in a small shop at the time, we are in different trades so that meant we were working on different tasks at times. We work really well together and we kept work at work and our relationship at home. But it goes without saying that there were jobs that we had to work side by side so it was in our best interests to keep things professional at work.

    It can work if both of you are mature enough to handle situations that may or may not occur.
    Near the very beginning of our relationship we had a really rocky moment, and I can safely say that was the worst day of our entire relationship mainly because we had to work with each other. Thankfully we worked through it but it's something that you can't say won't happen.

    I honestly think it's doable, especially if you work in different departments. But if you don't think you can handle the potential possibility of an awkward breakup then it may be best to stay on the friendship level.

    I'd imagine this would be something worth bringing up before making any serious decisions.
     
  9.  guess what guys? So um i was talkin to the girl and she is perfect for me and all. So i made it pretty clear im tryina holla at her and she tells me shes Bi leaning more towards the female side... my jaw dropped im like wow nothing wrong with that but the last thing i thought could really go wrong....I didn't get shut down or anything but shes like you'll have to work REALLY hard since penis isn't too much of my thing. what the fuck do i do now 
     
  10. ask for a threesome
     
  11. I've only ever worked with gay guys unfortunately, where's all the good looking straight make up artists?! 
     
  12.   I dated a co-worker a while back and ended up marrying her. We knew each other for about a year, dated for six months and then got married. I was looking to buy a house and she came with me, when we arrived at the house I was extremely disappointed with it and decided not to buy it. I turned to her and said, "that sucks, wanna go to Vegas and get married?" she said yes and away we went. We were married at the Little White Chapel drive through wedding chapel and have been married for 13 years now.
     
      It's not always a bad idea to get involved with a co-worker.
     
  13. Career? I would at least try to not make it a habit. If you really click with someone though you'd be foolish to not dive deeper. Not talking booty calls, but genuine connections.


    Regular ass job you know isn't going to be your career? Have at it.

    I've always felt like this saying was more for people well established at a place where they can see themselves working their entire lives at. Not fast food/interning/any other disposable job.. If there is such a thing, might need to think of a better term for that
     
  14. Lol, the evolution of rejection.

    No offense bro, jus made me crack up. I dated a lesbefriends once. She was straight for a fat minute, then went back when it was over. Stranger things have happened, good luck.

    As for workin with your lover, nope. Notta good idea IMO, but whatever floats your boat. Jus remember a fool is a man who walks in another's shoes to learn.

    Take care.
     
  15. My exhusband (16 yrs married) was my boss.
     
    I am "kinda" involved with someone from my new job.  Yes, i am fully aware that i always preach "don't fuck/date co-workers".   I will ask to switch floors before leaving this job if things go south.
