Can I date a guy from work?

I have feelings for a guy that I work with at one of my part-time jobs as a party promoter. I only see him once every few weeks but really enjoy hanging out with him when I get the chance and would really like to date him. He is such a cool guy that I cannot tell if he is being flirtatious with me or if he is just really nice. How can I let him know that I am interested and have feelings for him without making the work environment awkward? I know that work affairs are frowned upon, but I only see him every few weeks so is it really that bad?

All I want for Christmas is you....

First of all, if you only see him every once in a while, I can't imagine that working with him would really be a bad thing.  I think that you should put the working together issue aside, because it doesn't really seem like an issue, to me.  I would just flirt back... I'd make it clear that you're interested, and even ask what he's up to after work.  I would just be in touch with him through IM and get to know him better.  If you guys seem compatible, I'm sure he'll ask you if you want to hang out together.  You can ask him also if he wants to get coffee or do something.  Good luck.

Can't resist a woman with a very sexy body!

If there is another guy friend there that you are cool with you may be able to get him to tell the other guy that you like him. Or you might could have someone ask the guy you like what he think about you and if he is interested. life is too short you have you just try it and see where it goes. don't be scared of no. if he doesn't want to date then his lost. just be friends

It's fine.  Just ask him in work to eat the lunch time/room meal with you and make the flirting most of it in the slotted time.  It's a sure hit.

Having a romantic affair in the office has advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:

  • Having office romance is a time and money saving idea. Because you no longer have to go to somewhere else and spend money if you want to look for a prospective date or a relationship partner later on.
  • Romances in the office would probably bring about a harmonious relationship among employees. Having your apple of the eye see you everyday and likewise could be an added factor to motivate employees to work harder. This could be a gain for the company as well.

Disadvantages:

  • Some companies have implemented policies about relationships in the office. If office romance is not allowed, then you will end up losing your job in favor of keeping a relationship with a co-employee. There have been cases like these and basically it is up to your decision if you want to suffer the consequences for keeping romance in the office. You can keep a secret romance but since you are just within the same environment there are great chances that your secret will be revealed later on.
  • Harmonious romance in the office is good but sometimes this can be bad especially if you allow your fights to cause inefficiency in the workplace. Since you are seeing the person that you are quarrelling with, you will be more affected and inability to function properly is expected.
  • You might end up getting jealous when you see your partner getting close to somebody else even if it does not mean anything at all. This is the most common conflict about office romances.
