How fit is she?
Use the astraboy fitness scale of 1 - minger or 10 - Elizabeth Hurley is a dog compared to her. the outcome of the astraboy fitness test will affect the advice given. :D

Astraboy,

She's a bit of a fox shall we say........early 20's and a great smile:D

I'm a young 23 so not some pervy middle aged boss before you say!!!!

I am going out with a woman from the same company, we dont have to work closely together though....

It can be a little awakward at times, esp if you have had a bit of a tif.

Just think though, you will see her every day, all day, then in the evenings too.... for some people, this will be overkill and will b a large spanner in the works.... it is not a problem for me though, I enjoy seeing her more :)

Hope this helps

Paul

astraboy 14 February 2002 11:15 AM

go for it. if she is fit and choking for it then what the hell are you worried about?
If you dont want her then direct her towards the astraboy. ;)
astraboy.

frisby 14 February 2002 11:17 AM

At one point when working as a summer student over the summer months in 2 years I managed to have/have relationships with 6 female employees (all at different times though !)

One of whom was the boss (me 21, her 34 and still fit) .. my advice
don't do it .. nightmare when things go wrong.

Doofus.

pmortlock 14 February 2002 12:10 PM

I was secretly dating/living with someone i worked with. Top girl (hello jennie) that all the blokes fancied. Keep it discreet and make rules to not act couply and it'll be okay.

Richard Askew 14 February 2002 12:11 PM

I'm with Astraboy - do it and to hell wth the consequences...why go thru life worrying??

STi wanna Subaru 14 February 2002 12:11 PM

LOL........It took you 6 women before you came to the conclusion it was a mistake. Top man!!

Still you're in a good position to offer advice :D

If you're the boss and shes the underling then you can still have some fun if it all goes wrong. For example, all the sexual harrasment and discrimination at work forms should be kept in the bottom draw of a filing cabinet. This will enable you to have a cracking view of her ar$se when she bends down to get to them.
I'll get me coat :D

Jay m A 14 February 2002 12:15 PM

LOL @ Doofus :)

You advise not to do it, yet you did it 6 times :D I bet it would have been 7 given the chance :)

pmortlock 14 February 2002 12:20 PM

astraboy we like your style

frisby 14 February 2002 01:30 PM

Astraboy,

Filing cabinet arrangement in progress;)

fast bloke 14 February 2002 01:48 PM

Do it - what is the worst that can happen - you get to shag a fit bird and find a new job when you get fed up.

dsmith 14 February 2002 01:48 PM

I met my wife at work - for 2 years (dating 6months, living together for a year) we had desks next to each other.

If you do it, you have to respect the feelings of everyone around you. Its unfair to bring your relationship/arguments into the office. Several times we would have blazing rows in the car going to work, leave them at the door, be fine all day at work, then pickup up exactly where we left off :)

If you're the boss you have a responsibility to her and your other staff, not just to satisfy your own fantasys :)

Can you honestly say you wouldn't favour her ?. Do you decide pay awards ? If it goes sh*t shaped, is she going to be able to carry on working in your department ? Could you work with her after a break up. It is a risk and will cause unanticipated stress into the relationship.

If its just a fling I would say steer clear - Its not fair to her or others. If it could be more, then have fun :) but keep it outside the office.

putting my sensible hat on, I totally agree with you and will be playing by your advice for sure.

Working Saturday mornings when the place was deserted - now that was the fun part ;)

A large % of people meet their future partner at work...I am going out with a girl I met at work and still going strong 2 years later...have moved company now...

seejay555 14 February 2002 05:20 PM

I "met" (;)) my current wife some years ago at work, went our separate ways, met again in '97 and now happy as Larry

tiggers 14 February 2002 06:06 PM

frisby,

We only get one shot at this thing called life. A good relationship is harder to find than a good job. Go for it and sod the consequences if it goes t1ts up.

Regards,

tiggers.

Jolly Green Monster 2 14 February 2002 06:26 PM

I'd say go for it...

met my wife at work too...

You are the boss so if it goes belly up, you can just shrug it off... :)

espeically if shei s fit...

lifes is too short to think twice..

Hoppy 14 February 2002 07:37 PM

You're a fool if you do, and a damn fool if you don't :D

I've made abity of a habit of doing this I'm affraid. You know the odd trip to the disabled loos for a quickie, groping in the lifts etc . Can be quite good fun. Can get a bit tricky if they live with you too !

With hindsight I won't be getting my money where I get my honey... but there is this dirty goth girl who sits near me..no !!!!!!!
