However my coworkers know that we both have an interest in each other. But I don't know if it is a risk because we work for the same company. Now its may be important to know that I just had a harsh breakup a little over two months ago. The relationship was about 5 years on and off. It feels good to be wanted again but I don't want to risk it with a coworker but yet can I just have fun with this guy? Any thoughts?
I make it a firm policy, no dating people from work. Perhaps I could have married at least one of them. All were attractive in their own way and one was very attractive between their ears. These people were serious about getting married and having a family, but working at the same place after an argument at home is not good. Anyhow, I doubt I regretted it because there was less stress.

It depends on each other's boundaries being set firmly with this guy and the assurance no future fallout from the relationship being severed. After all, this no need for a toxic workplace from office gossip. Think about this can either of you handle that? I just don' t want a risk of either of you having problems at work from participating in this type of activity and gossip that likely to follow.
