IT CAN BE RISKY .....but just take it slow because you never know if they are reconciling with there ex OK... just have fun but use extreme caution... if you guys breakup still be friends and keep it business at work .. work relationships are bad had one in the past and i couldn't stand seeing him on regular basis especially when he dated the new girl in the office.. thank god the company went under and i got hired on way across Town at the hospital .. and didn't have to see him again .. i think if i was older like i am now i would of handled it a lot better but at 21 no one tells you how a work related relationship can turn ugly ..So good luck

In most cases probably not. One factor...does he or she still talk about the ex? If so then I'd give it time. I've been divorced for over 2 yrs now and am just now getting used to the idea of dating. I have a coworker who got divorced in april...I asked her out a couple of months later...and she wasn't ready...I respected that and let it go for the moment. It takes time..depending on how long the relationship was.
If you do start dating her/him...pe patient....if they bring up the ex..let them vent some...but...don't be the "rebound". I imagine some folks can bounce from one bed straight in to another and it will work...but in most cases...it doesn't....so take your time with this person and let them grieve some first.

Depends on what your intentions are. If it's just having a little fun then it's doable. If you're looking at potential relationship with this person it could be tricky.
I personally think it's a bad idea. One you have rebound factor plus you work with them, do you really want to see them at work every day if it doesn't work out. Not to mention the watercooler talk if it ends badly.
My view is the risk reward is probably not worth it. But it may be to you.

Not a good idea to date someone just out of a relationship. Not a good idea to date someone you work with. Waayyy too many other fish out there.

NO and NO. First, it's a bad idea to date someone just out of a relationship. It's okay to be friends, but stop there. Give him/her at least 6 months.
Second, it's ALWAYS a bad idea to date anyone from work. 'nuff said.

Perhaps the better question for you to ask yourself is if you're ready to be someone's rebound person; dating someone just out of a relationship is not always a good thing.

due to my personal experience, i feel that office romance doesnt usually work out that well. Plus he/she is just out of a relationship & might be just looking for someone who can provide great support & compassion to heal the fresh wounds. But at the same time it all depends what the person's true feelings are.
Find that out before you fall any deeper into the trap of love.
All the best.
Hope it turns out well for u.

Not really they are either looking for a replacement or a band aid. you probably don't want to be either. and work place relationships are not cool what happens if the two of you start of like sunshine and lollipops and then it turns to lemons and sour apples. you will be forced to see your mistakes and god forbid that he starts to date someone else that works with you....it is a drama waiting to happen.
and just think if you just don't feel like dealing with him and he calls you can't play sick or say you had a hard ay at work cause he will be there.

No, not right off cause they still may have some mixed feelings going on inside of them that they may take out on you. Just be there to show them that you care and be a good friend in the mean time to let them heal and then go from there.

No on both, rebound relationships tend to end poorly, and if it does not work out, will you still be able to work with them?
