NewGuy 0 #27 July 30, 2010 you sound a bit uptight . Nothing wrong with getting to know people at work and safe flirting. Coffee isn't a date. If he makes it more than just coffee with a co-worker than that is not good, esp if you don't want it. you asked. my opinion. take it or leave it.

davjohns 1 #34 July 30, 2010 I flirt with everyone at work. It's especially amusing when it's a guy. The older women seem to enjoy it tremendously. It means nothing. It's just for laughs. I don't date.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #35 July 30, 2010 QuoteI started a new job in March, and every month there is an "away day" for everyone in Finance (some 400+ employees). The last "away day" was in mid June... Today I got an email from someone I apparently met on said away day. I don't remember the guy, but he asked me for a coffee so we could continue our "riveting" conversation we had started at the "away day".. WTF?? He was *totally* flirting. I said no. Apart from being SOMEONE FROM WORK (even though I can't remember who the hell he is), I have a reputation to maintain as the bitchy Canadian, so I can't be socialising with the little people and going on "coffee dates" with them now can I?

SivaGanesha 2 #37 July 30, 2010 QuoteFlirting at work.. Hmm.. Just seems stupid to me.. What does everyone else think? If I felt a strong connection with a woman in particular at work, and was receiving signals that it was reciprocated, then yes, absolutely. It's been awhile since I've felt that at work but I definitely would under such circumstances. What I would NOT do is try to cast a really wide net at work and try to date every woman I could find who I could claim to be 'riveted' by. The risk of just one woman being offended and causing real problems would be too high. Work is not a meat market. But for people who are passionate about their work it definitely IS a place where there is a chance of finding someone with whom there is a real connection."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #38 July 30, 2010 QuoteCoffee isn't a date. Under the circumstances she described, I'd say it actually is. Call it... a "pre-date"; but it's more than just grabbing a quick lunch with a coworker in the next cube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If its two people its a date. or mini-date. Unless they have been friends for awhile, which doesn't seem to be the case hereSex with sith is like sex with a stripper.

Sheesh! Flirting at work.. Hmm.. Just seems stupid to me.. What does everyone else think? I don't know if this was "flirting". I think he saw someone he liked and wanted to see if you were interested to. I don't see anything wrong with this. Especially in a large company where you don't directly work with said individual. If you were attracted to the guy would it have been received by you differently? I am a naturally flirty person. I am very professional at work, but yes have been playfully flirty. With that said I have never dated anyone I worked with. I see flirty as anpersonality trait.

ManagingPrime 0 #50 July 30, 2010 I'm also in the banking/finance industry---and I just completed my annual workplace harrassment training. The offical answer would be, no. It's not appropriate, however it is quite common and "all in good fun" flirting as long as it's not unwelcomed keeps it interesting. Posting on message forums while at work is also a big no no. If your not interested in picking up a "work husband" just ignore the guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
