I have a coworker that I like, but before I hit on her, I better make sure I'm not getting into trouble

My Gandpa used to say, "Son, don't dip your pen in the company inkwell."
Those old folks had some funny sayings - and seems they are often true.
There are two principal problems with dating a co-worker:
1 - Failure
2 - Success
Failure, as others have already explained, can be unfortunate. Either or both of you may suffer embarrassment and discomfort at work. Even failing to succeed in landing a date can cause that. Do you like your job? You may have to change it.
Success is just as much a problem. Being close to someone and also working with that someone actually loads a relationship with stress. There is such a thing as too much time together. The people who can do that are quite rare. Also, many companies don't allow people to keep their jobs if they form a close and durable outside relationship - and, although this is far, far beyond the question - if you were to marry, one of you might well be required to quit.
Don't do it. It is a lose-lose deal.

i dated a lot of women at work. I think it is a bad idea if you treat the person badly. all the women and there were 6 of them knew each other never bad mouthed me after or during a relationship. you just have to be grown up about it. There were a few problems from me and them but I'm not a bad guy so we always seemed to talk though. i remember my boss asked this one girl i had just started dating at work "why she was wasting her time and that i had been with a lot of women" she just answered him "that is because he is a good guy!! " flattered the hell out me
BUT i will say that i have seen it go really bad with some other people. good luck hope yours works out.

Oh YES! It's a very bad idea!
Don't do it!!! I've tried it three different times and places... it never worked out - NEVER!!! Not from work - NEVER!!!
Trust me!
When things don't work out, you're still stuck at work with each other... and then the rumors start... and the lies, etc.
Consider yourself warned!
(Even though I know you're gonna do it!)

Its a good idea because you get to see her everyday but think abot it what it she doesnt like you it will be akward or you brake up with her at one point and youll have to see her every day but well love is love.

depends. if you break up then yes you might wish you never dated your co-worker. would be real ackward situation. also, does your company allow dating among co-workers, some don't. but hey, if you're willing to take the risk then go for it, it can turn out for the best.
