Would you pursue someone you work with?

I work in nursing home as a HCA and I have a crush on one of the Nurses.I am casual which means I don't have a regular position on the same floor.I replace the full timers when they are off or if they take time off.Also when someone calls in sick etc

However there this Nusrse that works full time on 5th floor . Sometimes I get scheduled to work on that floor and I find myself looking forward to go to work when i am scheduled to work on his floor.I feel nervous and excited to see me.I haven't flirt or made it obvious because i don't know if he is single and if he likes me like that.He is nice to me and all we talk about is work related stuff.I am shy when it comes to guys i like so i just talk to him just like how i talk to other co workers. I noticed that when i work with him, he is always asking me to do favours for him eg, he will ask me to feed a resident with boosters or ask me to feed crushed pills to residents with difficulty swallowing .It seems like he prefers asking me to do him these favours than anyone else because they would be even another HCA beside me and he will ask me with a smile . This sometimes he is busy and could use some assistance.It just seems like he is comfortable with me. Also there was a time when I was sitting in my car on break time and he came outside for a smoke and sat beside my car and we started talking about casual staff nothing too personal. I know these are not definite signs that he is romantically interested in me.

I find myself making an effort in my appearance and i make sure that i look nice when i know that i will be working in his floor .I cant stop thinking about him when i am off or working on different floors. I am afraid to make my crush obvious or make a move because i don't want things to be awkward at work. I am single btw and haven't been with a man for more than a year.any suggestions

If the company allows it.
Otherwise, THEY WILL NEVER KNOW, other than the two of us.

Basically.. Yes, because this is already happening lol.

I have dated people who have worked directly with me and that didn't work out at all, as soon as we broke up and still had to work really closely together, it made things awkward.

I think that if you guys work in the same building, even the same floor at the same time as long as you can keep it professional, you're good.

I kind of have a thing for a guy down the hall. While we work in the same department, we have nothing to do with each other's jobs. If I had the guts to say something, I would.
It seems like you guys might be forming a friendship, maybe you should ask him to go get coffee sometime and see where it goes.

In my workplace one of the carers left his wife (also a carer) for another carer. It has created an unbelievable amount of tension etc.
However they are the happiest I've ever seen them. Even the wife well now ex wife is happier.

The heart wants what the heart wants. Just be careful not to get hurt in the process.

No, never. Wouldn't even think about it. Never get your meat where you get your bread.

I'm a nurse and my husband is a paramedic. We worked in the ER together... I would sweet talk the techs to help me all the time.. my husband worked a different shift though so I never got to sweet talk him, but his best friend was my tech quite often.. but I always picked the most reliable tech for help. So not sure if that's a good indicator to be honest.

Work relationships work sometimes!! Especially if you are PRN, hit that up if he isn't taken... you can avoid someone if you work PRN only.

Yeah.... I met my wife at work. Technically her contract was over before we started dating, but she may not have been my first indiscretion.

I think it really depends on the circumstances, but I have heard "don't *kitten* where you eat" way too many times.

I've never had it work out for me.

I've dated lots of people at work and it hasn't ever been awkward for me. I guess it depends on your perspective. I knew the risks and it only worked out long term once obviously, but never had an issue at work really.

Nope. Not interested. I don't mix work with pleasure, NEVER!!!!!!!
