    No. Don't *kitten* where you eat.
    Also it's humiliating when they ditch you and start dating someone else from work. Not that this happened to me :'(

    Dont do it, it can turn bad, for both or just one, can be embarrassing, some companies it is policy not to do so. I have seem people quit their jobs cause relationships when bad, and it got ugly at work.

    How am I supposed to answer this question without seeing a picture of her?

    right?

    risk vs. reward



    .... let's say I had a job drying off cars at a carwash (my dream job) and the cashier was attractive and nice?

    let me think...

    yeah, still, there's no way I would risk that career

    At 43 and divorced, I would not rule it out.

    With the following caveats:
    How are your relationships with your exes? If you are the kind of person who burns bridges, it's probably not a good idea.

    If you are the kind of person who dates people who turn out to be crazy, probably not a good idea.

    If you looking for casual stuff as a rebound, probably not a good idea.

    My husband and I work for the same company. It's a very large financial services company however, we only see each other at lunch (he is in legal, I am HR).

    As far as bad ideas go, this one is better than drinking gasoline.

    (But if you're gonna drink gasoline, you have to weigh it with a food scale first and make sure it fits your macros.)
