here my subject for discussion.
It deals with office work place romance and or dating.
Let say you work as a janitor in a office building
and have been a light generalized conversation with one of the
work whom trash you dump in their cubical. and after a while
you start to have a crush on him and or her.
And she/he seams quite friendly,and over course you discover
that their single and enjoy doing the samethings you do.

1)how and should you see if they're to meet for coffee
and or pop eather after work,

2)and if you would ask if they're will to meet somewhere
after work,,how would you go about find out how and when,

3) if you any exsparance in this settuation,,
eather being the being asked out or the one doing the asking

A simple "would you like to meet for coffee sometime?"

However, a word of caution about dating someone in your workplace...it's not always wise. Proceed slowly and with caution. Some of the greatest romances have happened this way too, so it's worth the risk. You can always go work elsewhere if things go too sour.

I think it makes alot of difference who is more senior than the other.

If you are both at the same level of seniority, I believe it would make it much easier than trying to date someone above/below you, especially if they are in your own department.

I dated my boss for a while, in a small lawyers office. I worked directly for him, and all was lovely dovey while we were close, but when things started going sour, I was the one that ended up having to change jobs, because it just got too difficult.

I wouldnt do it again, personally, because of that reason. Also, because I prefer to work in different places so that we have different things to discuss at the end of a working day.

thumbs up

I don't believe in dating a coworker. I did once and ended up being married to her for 10 years.
Coworkers are ok as aquaintances or friends

Ooohhhh, just be careful.
I'm guessing that you don't work for the same companies???? You work for the building and he works for a company that is renting the building???
If so, might be easier but still just be very careful and go in with the attitude that you will brush it off if he says not or make sure you will be able to continue to be friendly and social is that is all he is wanting so you can keep your professional integrity intact. hug Good luck though.

Tina,

Have you heard the saying:

Don't get your honey where you get your money!

Well, take this advice, if its for casual dating, stick to finding somone outside of work. If you ask and you get rejected, it will be very ackward for you afterwards.

Unless both parties are very interested, don't. Take it from someone that has seen many romances that start in the office sour quickly.

Not a good idea to get romantically get involved with someone from work. Too many explanations will be needed in the future if you like each other. Too many opportunities to sneak behind the water cooler for a quick kiss. Definitely not a good idea.

I think its fine, but start as friends first because once romance happens it changes everything. Nothing worse to see than two former lovers working together - they avoid each other like the plague and it permeates the work environment.
