Workplace Romance - Yea or Nay?

Christ on a cracker, thats a lot of words in the original post.

Dating at work is fine. The possibility of meeting someone who can potentially turn out to be 'the one' is so much more rewarding than a paycheck.

 

I think the problem is that women who play games don't know how to deal with a man who doesn't play along. I think you likely get penalized for that, though really who wants to spend time with someone who keeps score like that anyway.

I think men also have become accustomed to women who play games, prefer to hear what they want to hear, and can't handle the truth. So much so that they have trouble dealing with a woman who isn't like that. I generally have to start out with a disclaimer, some get it, some don't. I figure if they haven't figured it out after a couple tries, I'm not going to keep explaining it. I also think that men apologize entirely too often and easily, and for things that I don't think are apology worthy. So apparently some members of my gender are entirely too sensitive and they need to knock it off because they're screwing it up for the rest of us!

 

you have hit it on the head. some men have lost the true essence of being a man. just say whats on ur mind (be smooth about it) and let the chips fall where they may. i believe a lot of men have lost their manhood.

you need to be schooling some of these women espy. at the sametime a woman need to weed out some of the knuckleheads but the women need to have a good eye and watch em.

 

I'm not schooling anyone goodlove, I just really don't want to spend that much time with women who think and operate like that. The women on here get it, we appear to be a pretty straight forward bunch, but sadly most women I know are the exact opposite. That's why I prefer to spend my time in the company of men, because they are more blunt and to the point, at least once they get comfortable with you.

On the thread topic, I think if you feel something for someone and you think you want to explore that further, do it. As long as there's no rule that prohibits you from dating a co-worker. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Life is too short to not explore the options with anyone you feel a strong attraction to IMO. It's easy to play it safe all the time, to choose the easy way, but really I don't think you can live like that without one day wishing you'd done it differently, and by then maybe it's too late.

 

lol. i dont mess AROUND at work. too much possible drama. if she is on the pt of knowing its just a physical thang then MAYBE. i say maybe because some folks cant handle a NSA relationship

 

"Christ on a cracker"? That's sounds like somethin' Tarshibear (Or others of her Antipodean heritage) would say. LOL!@

Can I *quote* you? LOL!



Seriuosly, thtough...I just say what's on my mind....

*IF* it works out...and it's not detrimental any individual's career or overall workplace function...then go for it.

What might not be right for some...just *might* be right for *you*....ad no one else...

It all depends on the overall atmosphere prevailing, I guess...


*My* point is....the place of which I spoke....was a venerable Den Of Iniquity & Illiteracy. No one or two people held the monopoly of being deplorably hateful & insensitive towards anyone & everyone there. They all took turns behaving like swine. Everybody fought with everybody else. You'd never see more debauchery and depravity in the tawdriest fiction novel.

Further on said topic:

One female employee (single) there had an affair with a married male supervisor -- and he was also a Deacon in his church -- who woked the same shift. She had an out-of-wedlock child (And NO guesses as to who tyhe Dad was...the resemblence was ALL TOO OBVIOUS!). No repercussions that any of us knew of..


Second incident: A middle-aged Captain in the Police Radio Room (allegedly solidly married with kids) was smitten with a very young 911 Safety Telephone Operator - even to the point where he tried to give her I.D. # 1.

Ennyroad, the Toad:

#1) - Got the S.T.O. pregnant.

and

#2) - made arrangements to get her into the Police Acacdemy and into a Blue Uniform - just so's she could 'pull a heftier paycheque' than what she did as a 'phone operator.


Understandably, this causwd more than a small bit of rancour amongst MANY senior officers who knew the inside storty.


Most of 'em were so damned sore, that whenever she'd call for assistance over her radio, tyhe other officers pulled over to the kerb & shut *their* radios off....

I don't blame 'em one bit.

All are free to pursue thje relationship they wish with the desire of their heart. But for *my* own personal preference...I choose NOT to swing where I pull a a paycheque..

NOW or EVER!!
