Should I seek a relationship with my co worker?

[Business Junkie]

Here's some info about me and then her to make advice easier and specific.

I'm 20, African- American mixed with Dominican, currently going to college for computer science. I finished high school with an associates degree in business. That's me. For her, she's a Mexican mixed with German, she too was currently in college but for teaching. She finished high school and she's 19.

 

Okay so we both work at an office that sells video games and we both make a pretty good amount of money starting out (29k individually; we both have associates degrees in business management)

 

It all started when we both walked through the door and we made some small talk and we exchanged numbers as friends because it seemed we both wanted to have a friend. Then that changed quickly when our boss decided to pair us up because she wanted people to interact. Now we spend all hours of work talking and now we know more about each other. She started holding my hand as we walked in and even kisses me on the cheek when we go home.

 

And I think I'm in love with her and she is too. The really big problem is that I don't want this to affect my work ethic nor do I want our friendship affected by this, but I really like her.... Any advice?

It's a job that you're working while attending school. What do you really have to lose if things go sour? There's something to be said for having to learn how to deal with the repercussions of a relationship gone bad. It builds character.

Don't shat where you eat.

 

Bad idea.

 

Never date coworkers or neighbors. When it goes bad, you have to see them constantly.

I probably say this too much, but I married my last work interest. She's the mother of my children and we are still very in love. It may matter that we met later in our life (30s), but just sayin'. You get out what you put in. And no, that's not sexual innuendo.
