brazeneye Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Quite a bit. But there are some things that are keeping me from asking him out/showing him that I am interested: 1. He's a lawyer (not that there is anything wrong with that, but for some reason, him being so well educated makes me feel like I am not good enough for him). 2. We work together. I do office support for his company, but in a completely different department, I see him on a daily basis. The real kicker is the other day my friend found out that he has a lavalife account, which verified the fact that he's single AND looking. So to humour my friend, I created an account as well. So, on that site, to show people that you're interested you send them a smile. So I've been waiting around to see if he notices my account/pictures and sends me a smile, cause then I can know if the interest in each other is mutual. So far no luck. I want to let him know I like him, so I was thinking of me sending him a smile instead. But the only thing that I worry about is that it would be awkward if it isn't mutual and just in general about seeing everyday at work.. I just started working at the firm, and my friend who works there as well, who has known him for over a year said that he would totally go for me if he knew.. But then again, she might not have him completely figured out. What do you guys think?
Yamaha Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I would stay away for work place romances unless you really feel very strongly for this guy. Things can really turn weird if things don't work out and you have to see them every day.
jerbear Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I personally have a thing about fishing from the company pool. I have been burned in the past. It can work depending on a few factors. Size of the firm, working in the same building, same department, or same floor. Just avoid the same building, same dept, same floor, type of relationship unless you two are partners before being business partners in a family business. I would go talk to him in person or more subtlely bump into him in the hallways. If you HAVE NOT talked to him already, then by all means send him a smile. Now if it does not work out things will get funky. Also co-workers and company policy may frown or more likely pigeon hole you two.
