So... my confession.
I have this co-worker. We were married at the same time and both got divorced around the same time - I feel like there has always been a quiet attraction between us. We were on a work trip in Vegas about a month ago and we ended up (drunkenly) making out in his hotel room. I haven't had sex in a LONG time (over a year) - and it awoke some kind of beast. I bumped into this friend again about a week ago on a Friday night and ended up at his place, and well... you know the rest.
So, my question: Do you think I'm completely nuts to think this isn't going to make things crazy awkward at work? Neither one of us wants to be in a relationship right now, so for me it was just for fun.
Alright - I'm prepared to get flamed right off of this board. For me this behavior is extremely out of character, but it was really fun, and I don't really feel bad about it. Nice to post on SO again, it's been too long 
Re: So... my confession.
I would kinda like for it to turn into a FWB thing (since I'm not dating right now), but am cool if it was just a one time thing. We work in the same office, but he's on a different floor - he signs off on my files, but we only speak maybe a couple times a week at most.
You're not going to get flamed right off this board. I do have a question though, what do you mean when you say he "signs off on" your files? Does he have some kind of authority over you at work? If so, that's a VERY sticky situation and I'd never do anything with him again.
If he doesn't have any sort of authority over you at the office, then I'd say go for it. If you don't work very closely and your contact is minimal then it's not a big deal. Although you should be very honest about what it is that you're looking for. Also, I'd think about whether or not he's the type of guy to "talk" at work.
Shoot...this isn't flameworthy. It's a good question to ask, honestly!
I'm with others...be careful especially if he holds any kind of authority over you. NOt only because things could be awkward with you, but because in most companies, that's a big no-no (in fact, my last company you had to sign something if you were dating someone intra office). You also don't want to be the subject of office gossip which is so loved by many.
But hey...if he's the same as you and you can keep it in the DL, then by all means! Nothing wrong wtih FWB if that's what you want!
*lurker here*
The old pimps say don't get your honey where you get your money. If you want to do this OP, proceed with caution. Just be aware if things go sour, your work environment could be tense. For me, it was never worth the risk.
*back into lurkdom*
Good one!
Like a PP, I have always heard/subscribed to the "Don't shiit where you eat" motto.
No, he's in no way a superior to me, he just reviews my files before we close (we do mortgages). He's a super low-key laid back kinda guy, so I really think we might be able to keep things from getting awkward. If not, it's probably too late now - I guess we'll see where things go.
