Guys, is this something you'd do?

[ChooChooHaha]

Say you met a girl at your job. Would you ever keep your distance because of the circumstances?

Yes, dating in the workplace is an extremely tricky idea to pull off because if everything works out then great no problems but if someone gets their feelings hurt, gets rejected, if there's a break up on bad terms then it would likely cause issues at the workplace and performance at your respective careers.

There's also the issues of power Imbalances to be aware of, nobody can date or even casually hook up with a coworker who has any level of authority over them with the question being asked if that authority was the motivating factor in the relationship.

All in all too much of a headache to deal with.

And who could forget the guy on the movie set who said "I was looking at the lights" : ahhh Christian Bale. Lol 😆 circa 2008 / 2009

Probably. At the very least she's have to pursue me. Because a woman can probably get away with harassing a man. But not a man harassing a woman. And all it takes is an accusation from a misunderstanding today to destroy all a guy has built.

[ChooChooHaha]

But if it's consensual, it's not harassment.

[Opinion Owner]

And that's relevant if harasses don't bait men. But the REALITY is they do. You know how women like to claim men lie to them? Well guess what. You gender lies A LOT to men. There is a significant segment of men that flirt with men draw their attention and then exploit them. In this case these women CLAIM they were harassed.

[ChooChooHaha]

I know that.

[ChooChooHaha]

That's why I said consensual.

[Opinion Owner]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I love how you use that word like it's concrete.
This is why I said she'd probably have to pursue me. How you going to say I harassed her if she sought me out? There would be women that still would try.

In short to answer your question I give a woman the same energy she gives me. I can't control how she see it.

[ChooChooHaha]

Ok. I understand now. Thank you.

I married the hot single girl in the office. But that was many many years ago, where office romances were much more common. My workplace even had a private room where couples would go for quickies. It was sometimes crowded during lunch.

In today's world, office dating is frowned upon, and can even get a person transferred or fired.

[ChooChooHaha]

I understand.

The supply closet? 😅

[AviatorTom]

@ChooChooHaha No, it was actually the walk-in vault, where important documents were kept. It was left open all day, only closed at night. I'm pretty sure management knew what it was being used for. In fact, it was known that some managers invited their secretaries to meet there. Remember, this was a long time ago.

[ChooChooHaha]

WHAT?

[ChooChooHaha]

Still...

[NathanDavis]

I'm a functional adult... and a professional, both

[ChooChooHaha]

What's that mean? 😅

[NathanDavis]

unless she's radioactive or -tuberculosaeie-... I don't see any reason to keep my distance, like that

[ChooChooHaha]

Ok. Thank you.

[NathanDavis]

most welcome... lol

[Jove79]

I’ll keep my distance around others obviously, but I’d bend her over in back of the building on our lunch break

[Surely]

Approach with caution! If it is a large company and you don’t work in the same department. Maybe? Plus you are not in a supervisor position.

[WonderingManII]

Keep my distance because of the circumstances. I can't afford to lose my job over her.

[Godihateyou]

Yes. Don't shit where you eat. A girl from work is worse than cancer.

[ChooChooHaha]

That's harsh.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes I would.

[ChooChooHaha]

Even if you were seriously into her?

[BarryLiverstone]

Well I would at work. If I was really attracted to her , then I’d invite her to a social event after work, yk?

[ChooChooHaha]

Ah ok. Thank you.

[BarryLiverstone]

You are welcome
