100% disagree. There are no hard and fast rules if both are mature enough to handle it.

No guarantee that one or both parties will stay mature. Ask 'em at NASA. If you consider yourself mobile and not long term at work then go for it. If you like your job, beware.

I love my job. Granted, I handle customers that think they know what they are doing but when I prove then wrong they get crappy with me, but the people I work with are awesome, for the most part.

If this doesn't work out, I'll stay single for a while. Get the partying done that I missed in HS and wasn't able to do with her (I gladly agreed to not do any of that).

If you love your job don't date a fellow employee. WHat if you become her boss, you break up with her, and she freaks out. Guess who is going to get fired. It's not going to be her.

There would be a miniscule chance that I could become her boss. She's a cashier (they're the dumb ones) and I'm a hardware clerk... I don't forsee any position changes in my future before I graduate CC and move into the workforce or up to Northern Illinois (or maybe UT).

I met my g/f of over a year here at work. We discussed the pros/cons and decided it was worth it. We've been living together for the past couple months and it's fine. I love my job and don't see this ever affecting it. Many of the people I work with met their spouses here (office is 1600+ people)

Like I said, it's easier if both parties know what is going on before jumping in. We just handle it well I guess.

I dated a girl at work for nine years, married her for an additional thirteen, had two kids and wound up divorced so I can't say it can't be done. I think you wind up seeing too much of each other.

My management delighted in making me give her performance evaluations.

My understanding from the original poster is that he justs wants a fling with this new girl. I'd put utvolpj and plano vol in a different category. If you know the woman is a solid, non wackjob, give it a shot. If you aren't sure, it's not worth the risk.

You wanna find me a solid, non-wackjob woman? :p

I think age had more to do with it than us. We are "a bit" older so it worked out well. Both out of college and had lived on our own for a while. I think it's much easier to date someone while in career mode than just a temporary job mode(hope that makes sense).

Hey I think a fling would be great for him. Best way to get over someone is to get under someone :) I just hope the OP takes some time before jumping back in to the relationship thing.

I think the way to go is import one from Russia if you have the means. Happened upon a 70ish Texan and 20ish Russkie this weekend. She was F-I-N-E! They were married but couldn't really converse with each other.

Sorta puts me in mind of that old ad showing a May/December couple with the old guy talking to himself about how his family thinks she is just after his money and finishes his thought "As if I care"!

it's a nice sentiment for a greeting card, but following your heart is the wrong thing to do. Don't misunderstand me, love is a wonderful thing, but it has to be tempered by rational thought, especially when you're young. If it isn't you wind up married after three weeks and then divorced after 3 months when reality finally sinks in.

agreed MG. I know it feels like the end of the world now, but 10 years later you'll be wondering why you even bothered.

Honestly, you need to completely ignore this girl. You'll probably be better off having moved on but it is also the best way to get her back if that is what you really want.

We're at least going to be good friends. Always have been since I met her.

In retrospect, I am thankful that she did it via email. I would probably have blown a gasket if she did it in person, which wouldn't have helped me at all.

In fact, I'm talking to her right now on AIM. Just like friends. Feels kinda weird. LOL. She may be coming over on Sunday after a Cardboard Boat Regatta that the robotics team is participating in.


And, I'll only date girls that I can understand when they talk and/or scream my name.

I'll stop giving you unsolicited advice :), but take at least 6 months and until you are dating someone new, before you try to be friends with her. Things have changed. Acting like they haven't is just naive. My $.02 X 100000 :)
