yes

no, we're all physically attracted to a crapload of chicks; get over it; if you start getting real feelings then you brought it all on yourself.

Yep.

I have (or rather, had) very strong feelings for a coworker's fiancee, who also works for the same company.

He works down in the warehouse, but his fiancee and I work in the office upstairs. Our desks used to be near each other, and we would spend a lot of time together goofing off and sharing jokes about our pedantic jobs and our moron of a boss.

Sometimes I get the impression she has a crush on me, but just as soon as I get that feeling she says or does something that brings be back down to reality. A few weeks ago the rumor got around that I really liked her-- talk about awkward! I was able to convince her that was all in the past-- but the truth is I still really have feelings for her. I want to tell her how I feel, but she is such a nice girl and I don't want to ruin our friendship or her relationship.

She's getting married this July. I think I take a vacation somewhere far, far away that week-- otherwise I'd probably be invited to the wedding and I don't think I could handle that. I hear Australia is a good place to visit that time of year...

LOL. You should ask her to go with you just before the series finale.

Yes, and I have never done anything about it. It's called respect.

It's also called the golden rule: I refuse to do unto others what I would not want them to do unto me.

Yup. Unless they BOTH come to you at the same time asking for a three-way, forget it.

If you screw around with your friend's girl, then don't be suprised when he murders you, and the police refuse to arrest him, citing the bros before hos memorandum.
Isn't he in violation of "bros before hos" when he murders you?

How could you let yourself get attracted to someone's fiance? You know she is off limits.

Section III, Paragraph 2, item A clearly states that when a friend screws with your girl, the Bros tie is broken and you are free to take retaliatory action against the offending party.

Translated: Expect an asskicking at a minimum. Deballing is possible, along with outright murder.
