Try to meet him outside of work! But I hope you know the risks of an office relationship!!

Don't listen to your friends.  Enjoy the secret love affair, life's too short not to...though it doesn't sound so secret if your friends know.  Since you work in different departments it's no big deal.  If you worked in the same office on the same floor then it might be a big deal.  If you really care for this woman and she cares for you then shut out the negative remarks that others make about it.  It's no ones business but your own.  You have to remember, YOU ARE BOTH ADULTS....repeat....BOTH ADULTS.  Hopefully everything will work out.  If it doesn't then you have to remember you are both adults and will handle it in a professional manner.  You're not little children (Hello.)  \n\nYour friends are jealous....YES, they are...and PETTY also.  Shame on them!  They should be happy for you.  It's really sad they had to come down on you like that.  \n\nAlso, I know of lots of couples that met through work and fell madly in love, got married and are still married to this day.  It's wonderful.  Please don't listen to your so called friends....who I wouldn't call friends at all.  Also, you should not have made it any of their business in the first place.  And shame on you for that part!\n\nOne additional note:  Since you are already having the affair this is a senseless question to ask at this stage.  You should have asked it before you started the affair.  What difference will it make now.  Therefore, you might as well enjoy it.

Unless the two of you are mature, it's not a good idea. You leave yourself open if you are the employee. If it doesn't work you will start to question that person for every decision he/she makes regarding you. He/she is picking on me. They are mad because it didn't work out between us. There are so many things that can come in between you 2. The pro's is that if it does work the superior can help you grow as a professional and as a person. It's tough,and it depends on the 2 people.

I have alot of experience with this and I have learned one important thing....there are one of these people at every single job/workplace.  If you are not his supervisor, do nothing.  It seems the boss likes him so your best bet is to go to work, do your thing, keep to yourself, then go home.

I would say, don't make the first move.  You could friendly flirt and see where things go, but don't make this hugely bold move that could cost him his job.  On a professional level,  you do still have to take his career into consideration.  Furthermore, what if things go on between you two and you end up with a crappy grade anyway...that'd make things a wee bit odd between the two of you.  good luck with this one!

If your HR manager realizes his strange behavior, you should feel comfortable enough to talk to him and find out what the problem is. Are you doing something wrong or is he just mad crushing on you!! Either way a second party has confirmed a noticable weird behavior by him so you do have some back up if thinigs don't go as planed.

If you really like this girl then you should let her know. I think you should try the relationship, the trick is to just keep your relationship and your job seperate, while at work your relationship is not open for discussion, maintain a professional attitude in the work place, and don't allow your relationship to come into play. Also make sure she has the same attitude, and when work hours are over everything should work out just how you want it to. Look at Beyonce and Jay-Z, they both just keep their mouth shut, that way no matter what rumors are going around at work no one will ever really know what is trully going on.

If you can keep your love life and your job separate then it should be fine. When you are at work don't treat him as your boyfriend...just another co-worker.

If she has a boyfriend already then you just need to back off.  How would you feel if a co-worker was trying to get with your girl?  As for the work relationship, keep in mind that even a friendship would affect the work relationship, so a romantic relationship will affect it more deeply.  Move on and try someone else.

Ok...we know it you Borat....seriousley though, one should never date co-workers..its just a bad idea. and yes she can egt you for harrassment if you keep bothering her if she tells you to stop.

Let me give you some good advice - it's not a good idea to date someone with whom you work.\n\nIt gets complicated, everyone knows your business, and if it doesn't work out you have to see the person every day.

Maybe he likes you. I would caution you, though. My experience is that it isn't good to go out with someone that you work with. How are you going to feel after a nasty split with this guy when you have to see his face every day?

work relationships are complicated, they can distract you. if it all goes wrong theres always a pretty high chance you'll end up office gossip. plus alot of companies frown on it so if u do go there, keep it quiet.x

I see nothing wrong with that. It's great to have friends or buddies at work. I hang out with my co workers outside of work often. We have different parties and we go out to eat (just us girls) and have some drinks. Go with it. Have fun and good luck.....SAM

Well she probably hang with you out side of work cause she dont want people saying crap about her. Sounds like she could possibly like you or she just might be lonely. Why do you want to tell her to F off i mean you said you liked her and that you were good friends. I would just stay friends you both enjoy each others company so.. Well just decide what you wanna do. Good Luck.

hmm, I just met someone at my practicum a few weeks ago and the same thing happened. we were polite, but maybe a little over the top and i think there was something extra going on. we shook hands, looked eachother directly in the eyes and chatted for a few minutes and when i had to go back to a different building, we were like "it was nice to meet you, (then he said my name)" and he wished me luck in my practicum blah blah blah. who knows though. if i'm not some kind of psycho i think we were pretty attracted to eachother\n\nso if you feel that way, i think you probably are right. so see how things go.. i'd chat her up a bit and eventually ask her out for tea or something.

this is a risky situation. If you really like him it might be better for you to leave your job and look for another so that there is no complications with the others if and when they find out. If he is interested in you, I believe you would know. If you are not sure then come out and ask him.
