Alexandré Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 OK I have been dating an older woman (shes 23, I'm 18) for over a month now. Shes extremely attractive and cool and I like her alot but frankly it's hard to keep up my entusiasm with the relationship when I hardly ever get to see or talk to her. Maybe I'm overreacting since she just moved here, doesnt have a phone, and is staying with a friend that only has a cell phone and an internet connection, but if things dont start picking up I'm going to give up on her. Which brings me to the title of this post. See at the store I work at, there is a manager who is about 20. Shes not my manager, so no worries there. She is plus sized yet really attractive to me, but most of the guys I know arent into Big Beautiful Woman like I am, which is the only explanation I can think of as to why she is single. Anyways, we make eye contact alot whenever shes around, and sometimes (especially today) I would see her talking with another associate and I would look over and see both of them looking at me, then turn back towards each other and giggle or whisper. So I think she might have some interest in me. But my question is: Is it a bad idea to date someone who works at the same place as you do? Horror stories would be appreciated as well Link to post Share on other sites

Horror stories would be appreciated as well It can be. If the relationship does not go well, then you are stuck working with an ex, unless you get another job. Also, your relationship becomes fodder for the workplace gossip mill. On the other hand, work is a great place to get to know someone. Link to post Share on other sites
EC Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 You don't S*** where you eat. is my motto. Having a relationship with someone you work with usually ends pretty badly, and then when it does end.. you have to see that person everyday. Not good. Link to post Share on other sites
faux Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Originally posted by Alexandré ... But my question is: Is it a bad idea to date someone who works at the same place as you do? Horror stories would be appreciated as well Yes. Every experience that I have been in, and every other experience that I have seen with friends or acquaintances, shows that this is a very, very bad idea. I'm still not done with my entire "being accused of giving someone an STD when I tested clean" thing, and it relates somewhat to work. A girl I had been seeing started to get intimate with a guy she works with, after a few months of us not being intimate passed. I'm still unsure as to why she wanted to blame me for getting a STD, but it wasn't me. The only other recent partner she'd had is a guy she works with. Now. Imagine having to go to work with someone who gave you an STD. I mean, it's bad enough when you work with someone you are dating, and you are going through a petty little fight.

Author Alexandré Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well the job isnt all that good, and its going to start getting worse because theyre changing the pay system, so if I did date her and things went sour, I really wouldnt mind just finding another job anyway.
