SkiD_PL8 0 #1 March 4, 2005 Here is the deal there is a girl in my office who is very nice, and I always joke around with her throughout the day. She was on the phone with a friend earlier and said something which I then took out of context and made into a joke. She got off the phone and handed me a slip of paper with both her and her friend's cell phone numbers and told me to "call if I get bored." Now here is my dilema. I don't find her attractive at all, but I have no idea about her friend. I am worried if I do call and go hang out that she will make a pass and then things will be awkward at work. At the same time though it is hard to pass up the opportunity with her friend. Let's see what you guys think. Greenie in training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #2 March 4, 2005 I smell potential drama in the near future. The first girl may become jealous that you like her friend and not her, which in turn may create problems at work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
complexity 0 #3 March 4, 2005 i am confused... why did she give you her number AND her friend's cell phone number? Are they a package deal? But i say go out with both of them as friends do, and if you are interested in her friend it will be obvious to the woman you work with. Its not a good idea (and you could tell her too) to date someone you work with anyway because it could get messy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkiD_PL8 0 #4 March 4, 2005 That is what I was thinking, but then why would she have given me her friend's cell as well? I think maybe the friend told her to give it to me since I couldn't hear what she was saying. Greenie in training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #6 March 5, 2005 A thousand people told me never to date people at work. I thought, "No problem. If things get messy, I think I could handle it." I wish I could quit making my own mistakes and learn from the mistakes of others. Dating someone at work is a bad mistake. That is where this is going.

masterrig 1 #15 March 5, 2005 It could get real ugly... real fast. There's too many choices out there to jeapardise things at work. There's an old saying; "There is nothing worse than a woman scorned!" Don't let curiosity get the best of you. edit to add: Good luck to you!

happythoughts 0 #17 March 5, 2005 Imagine there are two rooms. You are in one room. Everyone else is in the other room. "We need someone to do this task." "How about Joe?" Scorned workmate:"Ummm... this is rather important. Why don't we use Fred?" Implying a fear of failure if Joe is involved, without actually saying it. If cornered about it, "Joe is just fine, I just thought he was very busy. I was trying to help." Also, given that the entire office will know about the situation. People won't have you work together because of the "tension". "Susie is already working on that... let's have Fred help her." Dating workmates is the fastest way to get your throat cut the slowest way. However, this is one of those interesting times when people have already chosen a course of action. Then, they ask for an opinion that agrees with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #19 March 5, 2005 You will crush the unattractive girl if you go out with her cute friend (assuming she IS cute). Don't be mean like that.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #20 March 5, 2005 Its easier, less painful and a hell of a lot more fun to beat your head into a wall then it is to try and date someone through a coworker. Don't date in the workplace, don't date in the family and don't date in prision. Imagine none of the women in the office ever talking to you again. Because if you piss one of them off, they all seem to know all about it. If one of them is scorned expect to recieve payback from them all. If they are having a bad day at home you will be the venting spot for them all if you manage to get them pissed at you. The wall is a hell of a lot more fun!
