Never on the first date.

she'll tell them you brought your own dildo for her to ram up your starfish, and that it was clearly a well-used item. She'll also tell them you burst uncontrollably into tears when she said no, and that she had to call your mum and hand the phone over to make you feel better. I mean this stuff isn't explicitly mentioned as being undesirable in an employment contract... but your workmates may feel there's no smoke without crying bum-dildo fire.

I mean if you were really in it for a long-con you could entrap her into doing this, but all the time you were recording the date to prove your innocence of perversions, and take the employer to the cleaners for constructive dismissal at a tribunal when you are publicly shamed and shunned. You might get on the local news as the man who definitely does NOT like dildos up his arse though, no matter what everyone he works with says... if you can handle that type of publicity.

Pretty much, of the 4 years Ive been at the job its the same managers hanging around. They all have families and are settled, they aint moving.

I work with people that aren't very aspirational so they'll likely be doing the same job for the next 5 years. So no one will be moving into our department.

I actually feel like an nearing the end of my tenure at this job, lets see what happens.

So you can never be 'Tier 1'?

What if one of you wants a move sideways?

Are the departments so different there could never be any cross-functional working?

Here's what i think. When i was dating i'd want to work out whether a girl is mental or dangerous first before i let her anywhere near my actual life, as such. I wouldn't even acknowledge a new date on facebook or whatever. There is an extended trial period... and the fact is that many singles are singles for a reason. In this case you know nothing about her (let's be honest - nothing at all - you may think you do because you work with her, but you know nothing about what she is like in real life) and she's already inside one of the most important parts of your life: your workplace. She has direct links to people that determine whether you get promoted or sacked. She may even have a better relationship with them than you do. If you went on a date and it didn't work out, she could really damage you. It's not that you've let her in - she is already in. Yes it might work out fine, but equally you might not get ill from stting right next to your kitchen utensils, but why would you do that. Just go and st in the toilet for fks sake and leave your kitchen out of this.

There are certain people on here that will give "yea smash it wahay, do it you pussy" answers to basically any of the should i/shouldn't i questions that come up, but they aren't the ones trying to explain to their boss and to HR that contrary to popular belief in the office, you don't actually insist on having girls piss in your mouth on a first date, or whatever she's decided to tell everyone.

Anyway do what you fking like. You asked because you clearly weren't sure so ask yourself where that doubt came from.

Probably the best bit of advice given on here!

Er, what the fk has that got to do with fulfilling your employment contract? As if HR would actually believe something like that, let alone be interested in what someone fancies after a bottle of Prosecco on a Saturday night. Very very dangerous ground for the woman/employer to lie/sack someone over a made up vindictive story after a breakup, which is why it doesn't really happen, other than in uncorroborated stories in forums. There's good reason so many people meet in the workplace - it's pretty normal.

Sure, they might not legitimately be able to hinder your career in any way based on your personal life, but if the person in HR thinks you're some sort of prick because they are friends with the person you finished with, they might not be so helpful and become a bit of a pain to deal with. I don't know this for sure, but it's a fair assumption. I know some people at work would probably think or act differently towards me if they knew all the details of my private life, Whereas my friends would not.

I'd stil ask this girl out if I were you, you sound like you want to, so go for it.

Can't we have more tales about council types? I was enjoying reminiscing about the times I would wake up in some council birds place smelling of booze, fags, cheap perfume and fannies. Good times

Vyse said:

So when is it OK to try and date a work colleague?

Some background info. Me and her work in separate departments in separate buildings. We both have no authority other each other. Sometimes I can go a whole month without seeing her once. The company I work for is small, about 25 people.

Should I go for it?

What have you got to loose? If the answer is 'not a lot' then go for it.

Worst case scenario (I suppose) it that it goes TU and you have to move on from your job.

I was dating a girl once and we went to see a mutual friend in Brighton.

What a st hole that was, council flats, booze, fags, little oiky children I just wanted to punch.

I wouldn't get involved with a council type at all.
Far too scummy and a female having lots of male friends who wear tracksuits makes me deeply uncomfortable.

I met my now wife through work, small company maybe 35'ish people. Soon as I met her, knew I wanted to share my life with her.

Zero fks given for what other people thought about it. Jobs come and go

I did and it was an utter disaster! We had a great banter for months and joked with each other, laughing at each others silly jokes. Made the usual hidden (but obvious) remarks and stuff.

Then one Friday night she asks me back to hers for a meal. Fantastic I thought. A great woman and just my 'type'.

Get back to hers and the conversation turns sour as we realise that we have real opposing views on things and outside the work environment we didn't have anything in common whatsoever! So after the meal the conversation drys up and I make my excuse and leave.

Back at work was interesting if that's the word as we avoided being alone with each other for the rest of the year.

Sadly she died of cancer about five years ago.

doesn't fking matter does it? Who could be doing with the hassle of it happening to them for the sake of a go on a saggy pair of receptionist tits?

there we go, this is what i mean. Well, at the less problematic end of what could happen... apart from the dying of cancer bit.

Confirmation bias.

It is amazing people ever leave the house with that kind of attitude. You know that sometimes people meet outside of work and it gets messy as well, right?

Sigh. You're so obtuse you can probably reach all the way round. Yes of course i do know that. But if it does, you can far more easily extract them from your lives, your future, your career and the rest of your bizniz.

your task for monday - go fk someone from your work and see how it plays out.

Not necessarily. I know a few girls who have had an horrendous time with men who have effectively stalked them after closing a relationship out. There is no guarantee that any relationship will be easy to liquidate, particularly when kids are involved. I have a friend who is still living with his ex and that is seriously messy.

Who's to say it wouldn't work out like the poster above who is happily married to someone he met at work?

All any one can do is weigh up the situation and evaluate the risk and reward.

you're insane. I am not saying bad st ONLY happens in the workplace, so your examples of bad st that has happened outside the workplace are pointless. Of course you have to evaluate the risk... but most people are just saying yea fking do it hur hur.

You're the insane one. Discounting relationships with colleagues because of a hypothetical doomsday scenario.

With opinions like that, I'm not surprised so many on here are lonely bitter saddos.

fking get a grip, the lot of you.

oh do fk off and have a fking laugh. Most of it was me taking the piss to amuse myself. Aside from that fking someone from work is no better than fking someone from anywhere else, so why would you not just raise your expectations and go somewhere else instead of settling for some ropey old tart who your eye has grown accustomed to over 20 years of working in the same drab business park office block, only because there is nothing better to look at whist pretending to work. I am issuing a call to arms to fking go out there and get a worthy partner, so what the fk is lonely about that? Now who's the miserable ?
