A new employee just started in my department three weeks ago and when I saw him for the first time, I was smitten. It's clear we like each other from the subtle 'flirting' we do across our cubicles. We went out twice last week and he makes me laugh so hard (think Jack Black or Will Ferrell), I'm having fun and I don't want it to end. We agreed to keep our secret under wraps because I don't like people knowing my business at work. Even though it is not against company policy and we have different managers, I still don't want to broadcast it. In fact, another colleague of mine met his fiance over two years ago when they worked together. The guy I like is hilarious and fun, full of energy and ambitious. It just feels right this time and I don't question anything. It's just weird that this happened at a time when I thought dating a co-worker was weird.

What do you think? Should I keep this up or end it altogether?

I know a lot of people who met through work, it's pretty common. If I were you I would not rush it, take your time to make sure his intentions are serious. You don't want any drama at your work place, do you?

A very good (male) friend of mine once said "If he is serious about it he'll stick around. If he is not serious about it - you don't need him".

If you have fun with him good. Just keep it discreet.

Dont do it, it can go wrong and blow up in your face... cost you your job.

I suggest you don't do it because if it doesn't work out then you stuck working with him or her

Ah, you're in the honeymoon phase.
I hope you guys continue being discreet, because you are right - for now it's the best thing. You'll know when you're ready to make every thing public.

I've known many who have done this and have married their mates. For some, it can get ugly if there is a break-up and can make things uncomfortable. I think every person has done this at one time or another.

Just be careful. And have him meet your friends. They tend to take the blinders off.

Good luck!

You are very wise to keep this relationship quiet. Keep doing that for now.

It's possible that this guy may be the best potential life partner that you will ever meet. If you see him as having that kind of potential, then I would give him a chance. But, if it becomes apparent that he is casual in his attitude toward you, then I would bolt. Working with someone you are dating is not all that big of a problem. However, working with someone you used to date can become a nightmare. I hope he is a discreet sort of person. Listen to how he talks about former girlfriends. That may give you an idea as to how he might someday talk about you. Don't rush into sex, if you haven't done that yet. Don't share all your deepest secrets yet.

Just my two cents...I met my son's father at work.

Everybody I work with ended up knowing too much of our business. Also, it starts to get really tough to spend that much time with a person. I would see him all day at work, and then he'd want to spend tons of time together outside of work. It started to make me feel suffocated. He was always around. Not to mention he was a distraction while I was trying to work. Too many of our conversations outside of work ended up being about work.

Not saying it couldn't work out for you, but just giving examples of how it went badly for me.
