So I've got a problem that I was wondring if ya'll would help me with.
First I'll let you know what's going on. I really like one of my co-workers and I've found that when I'm not thinking about what I'm supposed to be doing, my attention seems to be drawn to her. We've always been able to guess within about an inch of what is on the others mind, so I figured I'd ask her out on a date. The day I did so she replied that she doesn't date co-workers. So this creates at least 2 questions in my mind. The first is, "Is she trying to let me down easy or would she be willing to go out with me if we didn't work together?"
And the second is what would you do if faced with the same situation?

Lots of women will not date co-workers. The less on the job drama the better.
And then some women use that as a way of being gentle.

She's right....bad idea to date coworkers.

First off dont quit your job just to be able to ask her out again. Second, let it go. It was a polite no.

Yeah dating a coworker is NOT a good idea. Just like me.. I don't date patients. I don't need or want any drama later!

I agree

I know a lot of people SAY they won't date coworkers, but I would suspect that in the majority of those cases, those people would make an exception if they were REALLY into someone they worked with.

Sounds to me like she's letting you down easy. Don't overanalyze it. Just move on.

NEVER dip yer pen in the Company inkwell...

i think dating co workers is a big mistake. for me, i wouldnt want to spend all day working with the girl im going out with that night. like i say steak is good but if thats all you eat you get sick of it

No means no, the reasons are irrelevant.

get her fired and then try again

If its meant to be,it will be JMO

Dating in the work place causes unnecessary drama if you break up or have a fight... I did it when I was younger and they couldn't handle it after it ended.. It's just not a good idea..

If she was using it as an excuse it doesn't matter it's still a good rule of thumb..

Well don't go quitting your job to get a date thats for sure... I dated a co-worker once and it was bad news bears. If she didn't even consider it she's probably both letting you down easy. Even people who "don't date co-workers" would date a co-worker if they felt a real spark.

No double-entendre there ...

Dating a co-worker can cause a lot of drama if things do not work out. It is wise to keep business and personal seperated.

Bad News Bears???????????????????????

Did Tatum O'Neal come to your office and give you a hard time??



Sorry, the idea just made me laugh.

good idea

I'm in total agreement with most of ya. Dating co-workers is a bad idea. One of the reasons i'm questioning though is she always expects the worst and we're both assistant managers in the same area (and she has told me that she prefers working with me than the other managers).
