sorta same workplace

please tell me it is ok to hiook up with someone in the same profession that you work with tri-annually.  (I havent done it b/c he seems genuinely dense to picking up what i am putting down).

Tread lightly. But if he doesn't seem crazy, then go for it.

I had sex a few times with a coworker last year.

So far, we're cool. But I know this is not the norm. I also know that I'm not the only one. I think he's hooked up with nearly every single female at my company. And I'm okay with that too.

I just want to test drive.
Nothing more.
He doesnt seem to be understanding me.
Can I be more bold?

My exh was my boss. Clearly I am biased.

IT guy is a consultant at my current job. We never led on to anyone that we were anything but friends.

I have a major crush on a guy I'm about to sit 10 ft away from- and am hinting at going out on a date. So I'm a bad one to ask.

Wait....aren't you dancing around in your undies while swilling wine tonight?

If something could potentially fuck with your paycheck, just say no.

I'm currently banging a coworker pretty regularly, and have been since like...November of last year? So I obviously think its fine as long as they aren't a direct supervisor. Also my job has no rules about inter-office relationships.

I definitely err on the side of caution here, and I've learned the hard way that it's not a great idea to get too close with co-workers -- as friends or more. If things go south, it's terribly awkward.

The longest I've worked full time is around a year and a half as I'm still in school, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm the same way. I learned my lesson the hard way. I'll be friends with select people as that's how I met one of my best friends; however, we don't work together anymore, but anything else, eh I'll pass.

I'm dating my coworker (and really he's my partner at work). Our boss just said "Don't fuck my world up" - and we're doing our best not to.

We really thought long and hard about it & decided that if we went down this path, it was with the intent for it to not be a casual thing. It's tough to have professional life & personal life mix sometimes. Being irritated with each other at work has a way of leaking into personal life, but it's a work in progress.
