Should I start something at work?

My colleague smiles at me a lot. We have an obvious attraction to each other. But, she's my colleague. She doesn't have a ring on her finger, which could mean she's single but it could mean she just doesn't wear a ring. My ring is tattooed on. Is this too close to home?

Definitely not. If it goes sideways you still have to see that person every day. Either you'll have to leave or they will.
Working every day with someone when there is a bad atmosphere will be murder.
Keep it away from work.

Laugar164…

It’s true the cleaners see everything …I remember one year and there was a couple in the gym and the lights came on automatically in the corridor but it was winter time and darker than usual and the cleaner fell over the couple…the cleaner had to report the accident because the lights didn’t come on in the gym …the couple were investigated but here we are years down the line and it’s still a sensitive subject ..šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Oh yes. 100 per cent grab her! She seems to be giving you all the signals. And a work fling is always exciting. Whenever I’ve pulled a guy at work it’s been such fun. All the knowing glances to eachother the morning after. And sneaking off to a quiet corner for a quick snog and touch ;-))

Sounds like you need to do a little more basic research as to whether or not she is married; whether or not she understands that you're married (if that's what your finger tattoo means) and so on. Once you've established that you have to find out what the office rules are on inter-staff relationships and then ask yourself how much of a risk you're prepared to take with your current marital status for the sake of an office fling (and maybe your job). Unless you have your own executive office with an overnight suite for working late, it usually means a hotel, so…
But honestly? The excitement of an affair is NOT having to see the same person day in, day out.


LonelyFem - 24 Jul, 2023 - 11:48AM

My situation was a little different I met someone on here and ended up working at same company it didn’t last as we never got any time alone. he thought it would be ideal as would spend 5 days a week with each other . I still work there . we are still talking but no longer have a sexual relationship


Dottie1 - 24 Jul, 2023 - 11:11AM

Never dip your pen in the office ink...it's too much of a risk. A 60 mile distance is the best rule.

I think if you are at a similar level and you are not very fussed about your career/job then it's probably harmless.

But if you are in a senior position. I am very strictly against it. I have had non physical intimate moments with a couple of my analysts which could easily have gone somewhere but i would never abuse my position, its simply not worth the risk.

In general, it is stupid to risk important aspects of your life for an affair.

Sandypops your posts always make me smile you sound like a very warm person!

Not quite the same but I had an ā€˜open secret’ work affair in my early 20s (he was married I had a boyfriend) and we were weirdly treated like a couple at work, especially by the boss!

Looking back I’m horrified at my behaviour! We were openly affectionate/flirty and caught snogging a few times (luckily never anything more!!). Would never have a work affair again. Far too risky

I agree with Paula. An affair it between two people not for office gossip the more people know the more risk of being found out , you only need to upset someone in the office and they may take revenge by spilling the beans

Office affair definitely not for me

Sandy pops..

Your posts are always good but I have to disagree with your last one…if your work colleagues have to ā€˜cover’ it up when her husband comes in I think that’s asking a bit much….it also only takes one person to make a mistake…I guess it can be denied but if her husband isn’t in the ā€˜right mindset’ and starts to make serious trouble I wouldn’t want to be implicated and I would certainly be pissed off if she upset my work environment ..
It’s frowned upon where I work and it’s a sackable offence I have had affairs in the past and each to their own but when you are expecting others to lie…to get your kicks.. I draw the line under this one …it shouldn’t be encouraged šŸ˜•

I def type too much šŸ˜‚
Maybe I'm just a chilled boss though. One of my single employees started and affair with a married client who we saw everyday, twice a day and all weekend). I could sense the chemistry between them and spoke to them individually and told them both to just talk to each other about how they felt and go for it, if they wanted to. They are still having an affair 5 years later and still see each other everyday. But everyone at work knows and helps cover if her husband turns up.
But I appreciate this is not the norm šŸ˜‚

Sandypops - 17 Jul, 2023 - 02:26AM

I had initially intended to say, go for it .... until I read the comments here. I'm the boss and I have had a fling with a client's dad and a client's husband (both men were my age) but I didn't work with them EVERYDAY. The nature of my business meant I saw the guys daughter daily, but he came with her only a few times a week. The husband only came once a week with his wife. (And no I'm not a doctor or shrink or anything like that so no legally ethical rules were compromised)
I'm naturally flirty so staff often joke about me liking particular clients anyway and I joke back, so no suspicions were aroused. BUT if I was to have seen them, amongst other people. EVERYDAY, I'm sure the sexual chemistry would have been apparent. It's a very difficult thing to hide continually. Well, it is for me when all I want to do is rip their clothes off.

This has happened at my old work place. I used to work on a helpdesk in a big office.

A girl was hired to do standard first line support job. Turned that she was an ex of one of the guys who was already working there. They had two kids together. She started seeing one of her colleagues. Obviously word got round. Her ex got pissed off and started making a nuisance of himself. Everyone was told to behave by management they have moved them to different floors. The girl found another guy and made sure that everyone knew that they were going out. It looks like she was on mission to piss her ex off.

In the end girl and her 3rd boyfriend were caught shagging in one of the smaller offices instead of working. Both of them were promptly fired.

Just be careful not be pawn in someone else's game.

I'd advise against it. 9 times out of 10 this will end badly, both emotionally and professionally. I'd suggest the attraction has only developed because you spend a lot of time together.

I had a fling at work, was really really good for a few months and then he started to develop feelings which it was always agreed it would be no strings attached, ended up causing a lot of drama and awkwardness and then colleagues ended up finding out!!

Whilst it can be fun it can be so so risky, I wouldn’t do it again personally but if you do make sure you’re both 100% on the same page!! Good luck :)

I'm a dairy farmer, so if I have an affair at work I'll end up seeing her for what she is...a cow.
I therefore never mix business and pleasure. I wait until I go and feed the hens before I allow myself any funny business. I'm into hens rather than cockerels, though. After all, I'm not queer.

I did have an affair at work . The plus side is I’ve never loved someone as much as her . The minus is that it’s far too close to home. If it’s an affair , they’ll probably be upset and jealously along the way. I worked with mainly women and she got so jealous it sometimes spilled over. You’ll never be able to hide it completely and people will know or at least start to talk about. It could cost you your job in which case your husband/ wife will know about it. After all’s said and done, I’d say avoid work affairs. Although if there’s attraction it’s a lot harder to just say no of course. Good luck whatever happens

Hopefully they’ll be no awkwardness when it inevitably finishes. Fingers crossed the other party doesn’t confide in fellow colleagues and then they don’t in turn confide in colleagues. Furthermore let’s hope you don’t lose your job when things come crashing down.

This subject is doing the rounds ..AGAIN

If you are intelligent ..single ..married ..or living in sin ..then why would you want to get involved with someone at work ?
You are the topic of conversation.. the group dynamics alter and you drive everyone to distraction..it’s got nothing to do with jealousy or attention…just less work gets done..if you have a falling out then that manifests into the workplace ..which means you can cut the atmosphere with a knife ..in turn makes OP generally pissed off ..
Further down the line you get called in the office and told to ā€˜cool off your affair’ then you are walking around with face like thunder and then you expect your work colleagues to be sympathetic and you wonder if it was all worth the hassle???

Worst case scenario you could have a written warning or the sack for sexual harassment…why would you risk all of that ?šŸ˜•

This should be in the rule book for cheaters …. Don’t shit on your own doorstep šŸ˜‚

Depending on your employer, check your contract. Some insist on being advised if you get into a relationship with a work colleague. For every relationship that works, loads don't. If one of you gets spiteful, if things don't work out it could be difficult at work. However, if you're prepared to change jobs if it doesn't work, go for it!

It’s a big No I’m afraid. An affair is an affair and at the end of the day you probably won’t leave your wife. Therefore a break up is inevitable which will bound to at least leave an atmosphere and friction at worst be intolerable and May end up one of you have to leave. Find someone on IE at least you’ll be on the same page right from the start.

Mipaulac…

Relationships have been (in the past) forged in the work place and have survived.. but people perceive affairs as the norm and treat them like a regular relationship.
The issue I have is how it affects your work colleagues and the behaviour in the work place….some are adult and discreet and you would never guess but others are blatantly obvious and tasks get ignored because the 2 involved are ignorant of their co workers and so the resentment begins then all of a sudden the affair is over …one is crying.. the other gets moved and the ā€˜team’ goes into meltdown..

Work is work and you should leave your ā€˜hobbies’ and emotions out of it… the majority of people cannot handle the ā€˜fallout’ and so everyone else has to suffer the consequences….

We need to be mindful of the people around us 😊

Equally awkward is a where 2 women at a drinks do on another adultery site find out that they are both shagging the same male member and that he has a portfolio of women on the go at the same time. .........Awkward

You must be so proud of that. I’m just thinking one little std could end up going round robin. Keeping it in the workplace and all that !

Not just at the workplace ... same thing in social groups ... when it doesn't work out, it is awkward not just for the couple but also the wider circle of friends ... hence my being on IE!

[also same when you get divorced ... very awkward for your circle of friends ... you then get two groups ... those who take sides and those who drop both of you because they don't want to take sides!!! Also of course the "marrieds ie wives" don't want a single female in the group but are happy to have the single male as a "spare male" is always welcome and they can then match him up with their single female friends]

[I also have female friends who have fallen out but I'm still friends with both so it's really awkward when organising something or whether to say what to whom]

It was bad enough when I dated someone in my office very briefly when we were both single. It's just awkward when it doesn't work out and there's always the office gossip.

No, never get involved with anyone at work. Causes issues if you're trying to be secret, causes issues if things don't work out. Plus if they're single they have nothing to lose.

In my experience when work colleagues are involved with each other it always gets out. The girls are always the first to pick up on it ad they have greater emotional intelligence

I think it's worth exploring if you can both be discreet. There is an added level of excitement that comes with the secrecy of hiding it from work colleagues as well as parners. That being said it can all go very wrong very quickly so the risk is very high...many say "don't poop where you eat" lol

Especially for the men in this day and age of #metoo when even an innocent compliment can be reported as sexual harassment!

The day is not too far away when men (perhaps women too) will have to start wearing bodycams to protect themselves against false accusations!

Paula99 totally agree with you certainly not worth taking the risk quicky boss board room certainly hit harassment or fired?


Paula99 - 10 Nov, 2022 - 04:10PM

If you do this at work … you become the topic of all office gossip plus you loose the respect of your co workers..

You might think it’s just jealousy but this kind of thing creates too many distractions plus you may line yourself up for harassment and disciplinarys in the future..

You will always be known as the ā€˜one that shagged the boss’

I hear it everyday at work and some of the story’s go back years.. somethings are never forgotten.

Is it worth risking your job for a quickie over the boardroom table ? šŸ˜•

1546412 - 10 Nov, 2022 - 02:25PM

I did it numerous times in my 20s, with varying results. I worked in media where all the you guns are kind of expected to shag each other, there’s loads of parties with free drink, etc. But even at that stage of life it can make things awkward. It never got that way for me, but I was managing several exes who didn’t want to be on assignments together, for obvious reasons. As a married person? DO NOT DESTROY YOUR LIFE FOR SOME ILLICIT STICKY MICKY! I have two words for you as an example: Matt. Hancock. Do you REALLY want to go through a divorce and work humiliation like him? And no one is going to pay you Ā£400k to go and eat Kangaroo anuses on a reality programme. 🫵

Putting your own needs before family protection when needed at it's highest level is reckless, risky, selfish and you are, quite frankly, answering your own question by questioning it.

That's what IE is for. The safest platform for the needs of my husbands life to stay as it is with as little risk as possible. Even in this situation, I still put the needs and protection of my family life before the needs of what's throbbing in my panties.

I’m in a similar situation myself, I’m married and he is living with a woman and they have children together, and we flirt outrageously with each other but he hasn’t ever stepped over the mark, however we all went out after work a couple of weeks ago and he walked me home and I think it’s just dawned on him that in that situation we can be alone and do what we want and no one would know, so he said we will get it on real soon🫰

I'd stick to keeping it a friendship, too much at stake to risk anything else.

IE is such a good platform to find a like-minded person and with no drama, why risk it.

She should have dumped them on her husband's desk and told him if he wanted to screw around he could wash his own effing pants.

She's just smiling and professional. It's not enough to assume it's a come on. If she has true burning desire for you she would have instigated something by now to let you know.

So she doesn't really fancy you. Don't be a chump and make a faux Pas.

Yes go there if you want insanity to ensue. Everyone will gossip about you so your career will be over and when it ends it will end really badly. Keep with the smiles and find someone with as much to lose as you to play with.

I have the biggest office crush on my CEO. He’s single but there’s absolutely no way I’d even hint towards something more than a professional relationship. Can’t risk my career, I love it too much.

When I catch a whiff of his incredible aftershave or our eyes meet across a meeting room, I have to be careful he doesn’t notice the blush though! 😳

@Ashford Man

It certainly can help If both of the lovers are not permanently employed full time in the same part of the same workplace.

In your case you were just passing through. Its a different matter if the lovers have to face each other and function normally all day every day and try to keep it discreet. If it does go sour, or they get found out, things usually get very difficult and painful and more often than not one or both has to leave.

Sorry but I am going to say Yes it can work. I work as a freelance and met someone in the office during an assignment. it was a very secret affair and we continued to see each other after I left for a few more months.


1396951 - 09 May, 2022 - 09:34PM

Tricky.
Some people can make it work, I know a few couples who met at work. Zero dramas whatsoever. Maybe they're the lucky ones.
I've always said it's all well and good as long as there's no problems. When that happens, potential for serious grief.


ClassyLady77 - 09 May, 2022 - 09:29PM

Not a good idea at work. What are her expectations? Flirting can just be friendliness or real flirting because they feel safe and don't expect you to do anything about it coz you're married. If you made a move she might expect you to progress the relationship and leave your wife, if she is single.

Here, we are clear, nsa fun or fun and romance but definitely no life/marriage changing affair. Much safer on IE. Singles here don't expect the married one to leave their spouse, in fact don't even want that at all. Singles are here and not match.com for the reason they understand and like this set up.

It’s tricky. Once you talk about it then it’s forever out there. I say do what feels right, but think about how it might feel or be like on the other side, assuming you have a thing with her and then it ends at some point. Is that something you want to be hanging over you at work until either one of you leave?
Listen to your heart and try to ignore your penis - if the risk is worth it go for it.

You probably spend more time with you colleague than you do at home. I always found that if there is an attraction it will show up at a night out. This can be great but also trouble if your in a position of management. Best thing to do is talk to her. You will soon know if she’s into you.

1117169 - 09 May, 2022 - 08:48AM

From personal experience women colleagues tend to give out subtle signs, and sometimes not so subtle, when they find a colleague attractive. They expect the man to pick up on them and respond in some form, though lots of men are not good at reading them. She may be just being friendly or flirtatious of course, and these days its a potential minefield in the workplace if the man acts on them.

Why don't you choose a discreet moment and tell her she has a lovely smile and ask her what makes her seem so happy. Nobody could take that the wrong way. She will either clam up with embarrassment or give you a stronger hint about what she has in mind with you, if anything.

You can then play it by ear but bear in mind that workplace affairs / romances can turn out very sour and damaging very quickly and other colleagues will pick up on it very quickly too. They can also turn into wonderful relationships but if one or both of you are married, and I assume you are, it will have major long term costs and consequences
