I have liked a guy in my office for over 2 years now. He is really cute, funny, intelligent etc etc. Few obsticles in the way are: I have a child, he is 8 years younger than me, we work really closely together and I don't want to jeopordise that relationship. I told him 2 years ago that I liked him and he didn't speak to me for 3 weeks. We flirt constantly and he's always coming over to my desk to chat, I just don't know how or even if I should take it further. Help please!!!!

You should never date someone you work if you are looking for a proper relationship. It's very true what they say about office romances. Quick flings are o.k i suppose, depending on the people involved and how private you both keep it. It doesn't sound like that's what you're looking for though. I worked with my gf for 5 years and we both liked each other but decided not to take it any further and just stayed friends. It was only when I left the job for a new one that we got together (that had nothing to do with me leaving either, it just kind of happened that way). It's a really easy and open relationship we have now because we don't need to do that whole "getting to know you" thing.
The whole point is that if you have a relationship with a colleague whom you see regularly at work then you need to ask yourself how you (or he) would react if things went sour. You may need to leave your job and go get something else which can, not only be a pain in the a55 but detrimental to your career and/or earning potential. It's best to keep work and play separate. I also have friends who have met at work and married, but they are few and far between. I have more friends who have had a bad experience in that respect and I doubt any of them would recommend it.

The coy route...wear a short skirt, no panties and (oops) "accidentally" drop a stack of papers on the floor in front of him. The more direct route...grab his junk during the office potluck and ask him if you can taste his salami.

You should try to get him alone with you during lunchtime or breaks. Then try to move to more to occasional weeknight dinner after work. Then hopefully weekend activities.
I have friends that met at work then married.

fEEL FREE WHEN U LOVE SOMEONE, LET THEM KNOW U DO!!!! Office or whereever, love doesnt ask why and it doesnt tell where to find it.
