Romance at Work

[miles]

Have you ever been strongly attracted to someone where you work, but because of who they were (or you), you couldn't follow through with it?

Gotta Answer Yuppy Guppy to that one....

Our current receptionist/administrative assistant - whatever the current in-vogue title is.....she is a sweet package.

Attractive, Articulate, Intelligent....just missing that last A - Available.

So we're friends and that is far better than not being friends.

I was in the Navy, I worked with army, marines, SEALs... 'nuff said. Sexual attraction, however, never went farther than a little too much ogling. I'm not into romances and the StudMuffin is a homicidal sort.

Yes -

And I slept with a couple of them, but only after they stopped working for me. I think it's flat-out wrong to mess with employees or employers.

Yes, I have. I have never followed through on offers of romance at work and never will. It's a good way to lose your job in my opinion.

I have a friend who dated at work. The woman he dated felt scorned when he dumped her and proceeded to file a sexual harassment claim. It became his word against hers and private details of their off-work romance became public knowledge. Not fun.

Never play where you get your pay!

One of the many Cardinal rules of life that I've broken at one time or another!

I'll go first

Several years ago I had a new position available in my department. Another manager told me his assistant was
very interested in the job and he recommended her highly.
I intervieed her along with three other internal candidates,
but she was the only one with the qualifications.

To make a long story short we worked together for 4 years. About once a month we would travel out of town together and got to know each other well. She was a very attractive lady, I became very attracted to her (an understatement) over time. But
I also knew the risks involved when your cock gets caught in the cash register, so to speak, and never acted on my feelings

She eventually left for another job, but I still think about her from time to time and wonder what if....

Me and my EX BF met when we worked for a SoftWare company. He was assistant manager, a few weeks after we were dating we got called into the office and spoken to about our relationship. He could either give up his assistant manager position and be a regular associate like me or he could quit the job. Of course I was pissed over this so I quit the job completely so he wouldnt have to leave his job or loose his position and I think about a week or so later he ended up leaving it anyways so I left a good job for nothing. Oh well

There is a hottie here where I work.
She has everything, Cute, Nice Voice, nice smile, cute laugh, inteligent.

BUT-- I think she is dating someone.

I dated the manager of a restaurant where I was a waitress. We were very discreet, but I wouldn't do it again. He got transferred to another city & we parted as friends. Might not be so lucky the next time around.

I've been thinking about my work history more and I think I lied up there in a previous post. Although none of my mutual flirting (racy emails, exchanged glances, hidden innuendo) has ever ended in an intimate encounter of any sort, there was a lot of it going on. I think the worst feeling is looking at each other realizing that one of us is married and if it had only been in another time and another place...left to wonder what could have been.

 

[plasticman33]

I had a secretary.........

with whom, I had brief torrid affair, unfortunately she was married, her husband took a job transfer and she was gone. I think about her from time to time, and wonder what might have been. We were terrific together, she was one of the best.

perfect song for this thread.

reading this thread made my realize the perfect song for this thread is
I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton John.

Song of love between two people who can never be together because of cicumstances between them.
