What would you do if you liked your colleague?

r/

Would you confess, let it just be within you or what actually would you do?

    Know your dynamic with them . If it’s a serious affection… tell then the truth.

    I met my husband while we worked together. I think it heavily depends on the vibes they give back and how closely you two work together and how it might affect your jobs. We worked in different departments, doing totally different jobs and if it hadn’t worked out would not have needed to interact with one another.

    Like a co-worker?

    Don’t.

    If one/ both of you gets another job then go for it – but otherwise no it’s a bad idea

    Let it pass. I’m not messing up my money source. There are plenty of folks outside of my workplace.

    Not a damn thing. ESPECIALLY if it’s a very specific career field.

    I don’t date co-workers, ever. I have never ever seen it end well.

    If he is married or otherwise attached. No!

    If there is a wide age difference. No!

    If he is a supervisor or you are his, absolutely No!

    If it is someone you just met, not worth it. No!

    If it is pure lust. Absolutely no!

    Yes, if there is maturity on both sides and the interest is reciprocated and can both keep it on the quiet side.

    NOBODY liKES or has sympathy for office romances that go bad.

    Nothing. I know I’ll get over it.

    I do like my colleague. I came here for answers. My friends say go for it, anyone smart says don’t. I’m too awkward to ask for his number anyway.

    I’m in that shituation right now! (misspelling well intended)

    I’m quietly enjoying the fleeting crush while appropriately refraining from pursuing it.

    I think it depends on age, maturity level, how willing you are to navigate any uncomfortable situations.

    If you are in you 20’s or 30’s, perhaps not. 40’s & over? Maybe the maturity is there to navigate the complexity of dynamics.

    A LOT of people meet their partners at work

    I’m begging you don’t do it. I did it twice, once with my boss. I’m unemployed and starting over rn

    To me theyre off limits until one of us leaves the job. Id keep it friendzoned.

    Why? I wouldnt want to see them everyday if an attempt at dating them went south.

    You don’t actually like them. You just have to look and talk to them for 40+ hours a week. Trust me he’s likely not that good looking or interesting

    Been-there-done-that. Now I think the best thing to do is just enjoy the chemistry and release it somewhere else. Make sure you’re dating or involved with someone else.
