JustSomeGuy001 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 About 2 years ago I liked a co-worker, we were both pretty new in the company and it was our first job so I didn't know how to act and I kinda act stupidly. I actually posted on another forum back then and I got a feeling that most of the people were against me then. Basically, she had a bf already but was too shy to say it, I didn't ask if she had one but actually asked her out directly and as you can imagine that lead to a pretty awkward situation. About a month ago a girl (woman) got hired. I actually like her a lot. This time I know for sure she doesn't have anyone The problem, now I'm almost afraid to do something about how I feel because I'm afraid I'll get in another awkward situation. She seems to like my company but of course she's new, she probably just tries to make friends in the office. What should I do? What's the 'proper' way of going into the relationship path with a co-worker? I know a common answer is 'do nothing because you're colleagues and it's not appropriate' but I also know some people in this situation, so I don't want to do nothing. Any advice appreciated. PS: yesterday she sent me a funny meme on fb; today i found a funny one too and I wanted to send it to her but it took me a lot to figure out if it's appropriate or not. I guess the experience I had 2 years ago made me too self-conscious.
Shanex Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 1. Don't dip your pen in the company ink. 2. Never cr*p where you eat. The only exception is if the girl you're talking about works in a different department. I've had nothing but negative experience with these co-workers romance. One of us was even close to lose our job. Tread carefully.
