YAGT: Should I ask my coworker out?

[Beev]

Cutting to the chase: She's pretty hot, but she doesn't seem like the type of person I would "be with forever." Working up the courage to ask her isn't the issue, if I decide to do it I just will, but should I even waste my time?

Note: This doesn't mean I'm just after her tail, she seems like she'd be fun to hang out with too.

Ask her if she wants to hang out. From that point on whatever happens, happens.

Absolutely

The expression "don't sh!t where you eat" didn't come from nowhere. Be careful...

IE: Don't piss her off and get myself fired via blackmail?

Uncomfortable working situation if things go bad + possibility of sexual harrasement if she's feeling vindictive.

Did you ever see the Subway comercial? Don't be the blonde boy, ask her out.

Don't dip your pen in the company ink.

Hopefully this one is ball-point... :laugh:

You'll never know unless you try and find out.

"Now we sleep together and suddenly, I don't know how to talk to her. Every time I go to the bathroom I pass her desk. I have to plan little patter. I spend half my day writing. Then afterwards, I sit in my office and analyze how it went. If it was a good conversation, I don't go to the bathroom for the rest of the day. I see her laughing and talking with other people, they're all so loose and relaxed, I think, 'that used to be me. I want to go back there again."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I have no choice, I'm quitting."

You can sit around wondering all your life if you should have done it, or you can do it and be satisfied knowing the answer. If you get shot down, you'll be over it in a day or two.

Extremely doubtful. I work 11pm-7am, she comes in at 7am 3 of my 5 days to take over.

Don't get your honey where you get your money

 

[stevent76]

Since you guys have different work schedules I would go for it. It could be uncomfortable if you get rejected and then have to spend all day every day looking at her. Go for it. (and include pics)

 

[iamwiz82]

I cannot tell you how many bad breakups have occurred at my work. I would strongly suggest not doing it.

Most workplace relationships end badly (and very publicly).

Let it go and move on.

skeet in her coffee

 

[GrammatonJP]

Well, first make sure there isn't a company policy... if there is one, dont bother.. cuz someone will report it and get you fired...

 

[PingSpike]

I would actually advise against this, unless you work at some crummy job like subway and don't really care about staying there. Since you don't really see anything long term from the get go...this further increases the possibility of this ending horribly.

yeh i havent had the best luck when going out with coworkers. ask yourself : when things go south what will i do when were at work together and cant get away? i never asked myself that and i payed, watch out man.

 

[The Stigenator]

NO.. no dating coworkers.. you are a liablity.. and a walking lawsuit.

 

[Beev]

I ended up not asking her. Instead I pryed her for information. She says she's "sort of seeing someone."
"Sort of?"
"Yeah"
"Ooooh, like friends with benefits!"
"Ew... no..."

That poor guy
