i like my co-worker?

Question

I like my co-worker. We don't actually work on anything together (and we won't in the future) but she sits 20 feet away from me and out office is only about 80 people. I'm not her superior nor is she mine. We've had lunch a few times and she's come to a dinner party I threw plus a movie with me and some of my friends. I have a really good time with her and I'm pretty sure she has a good time with me. We have a good flow and I don't think either of us flows well with a lot of people. That being said I tend to read these things wrong. Am I completely insane to want to start an office relationship? I'm not going to be a jerk to her or anything so I don't see it ending poorly. We're both genuinely nice people. Can I pursue this? If I ask her to dinner on a weekend just her and me is that a clear signal of my intentions?

Answer 1

Continue to be friends with her .. go out with her, do small things like eat lunch with her, have talks with her, and go for walks. Don't force the relationship but go s-l-o-w . Allow things to just fall into place gradually. If it is meant to be after doing all of these things over time, then it is going to happen. Good luck to ya !!!

Answer 2

Be sure to check the company policy before starting the relationship. Many companies will not allow inner-office relationships so be careful because if the relationship does last, one of you will probably have to find a different job. But, if the company allows the relationship, go for it!
