Is it rude to try to get closer to someone you work with?

This is of course all a matter of opinion.  I say as long as both parties are adult about it and keep work out of the bedroom and the bedroom out of the office I say no problem.  Communication is always key and so is being very mature about it all. But I say it's no real problem.  The only problem occurs if one of you screws over the other one and you still have to work together.

Don't. What good would it do you? Does liking them or not liking them effect your job quality?\nNot everyone is always going to like everyone else and in a work place you are just never going to like everyone. But you still have a job that has to be done.\nIf they are trying to be your friend explain to them that you are not interested and that you are there to work not make friends. But other then that it really is not necessary.

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

Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with being a nice person. Nothing at all. And you can still get what you need/want by being a nice person. Sometimes though, you have to assert yourself. That doesn't mean being a B*tch. That means the next time you go to check into work, and someone butts in front of you, or the person checking you in lets someone get ahead of you, you simply step up and say firmly and politely "So sorry, but I was here first". Being assertive and getting what you need is not being mean. Sounds like you almost have a case of being too nice. Don't let people push you around. Unfortunately some people percieve kindness as weakness...Prove them wrong.

Yes, I am sure most people have experienced a rude person before, but someone at work should have a bit more self control. After all, they are going to see you again tomorrow aren't they?\n\nRude remarks like this are unwelcome to everyone, even those who think they are "tougher" or "quicker to respond" than everyone else. If it hurts you or insults you, then the last thing that you want to do is join in to the silliness. You are too smart and too classy to start acting rude just to "get even".\n\nBesides, when you act classier than everyone else, they hold you in higher regard. That high level of admiration will leave them down below in the dust, when you get promoted or receive a bonus for your positive attitude and professionalism.\n\nPlease don't stoop to their low level of trash talk, you have a future in front of you that requires your integrity and credibility to shine!

Think twice before you start something with someone you work with. If she is not interested in you, you will feel uncomfortable around her in the future. How will that affect you at work?

it depends on the situation, if you dont know them to well go up to them and introduce your self ask them what there intrested in, you need to think less about likeing them and more about just being friends first, and then when you get to know them make the move by asking if they would like to hang out.

As an employee, not a supervisor...I would rather prefer a phone call or a left message.  It seems more personable if you confront the person rather than leaving a non-professional note.  Or wait till they get back.

Well there's a difference here.. if you're referring to someone who is ill and asks another employee to come in for their shift, then I see no issue with that.  But if you just don't show up and ask someone who's already working to pick up the slack, then someone should inform the boss.  And... that person should say NO.

You should worry.  You are now an accessory.  Your coworker has just pulled you down with him.  He is not your friend.

yes, because if you let it fester it will only make things worse.  Just be careful how you approach her, try not to be confrontational.  if that doesn't work, go to your real manager.\n\ngood luck.

be honest with your boss. if you only want to be friends just tell him in a nice way that you find it difficult to date any one that you really like as a friend and you cherish your friend ship, so you don't want to let sex or any thing else come in between your relationship because a Friend is hard to find and easy to loose

Rude yes, but illegal, no.  It could be against COMPANY policy.  You may want to check with Human Resources / Personnal.

Eye contact is important, Just ask! If they say no don't feel bad about it ask someone else.
