| Recruitment has a nack in employing interesting people. Now there is a woman at my workplace in the other office who I really like. As usual same my workmates think she is a bit weird but I really like her; she is an intellectual. I want to ask her out but at the workplace it can be a bit difficult. |

| I'm too scared to even think about someone in the workplace. But if I were to attempt it again, I'd start by getting involved with what she was doing (or at least trying to share the enthusiasm). How would you attempt it? |

In my limited experience, work can be a good and bad place to meet women.
Pros:
*You most likey have similar career interests, lifestyles, and make about the same amout of money (unless one of you has a different/higher job title).
*It's a good, casual way to get to know somebody first, without all of the hassles and pressure of a first date with someone you might not even really like.
Cons:
* Problems at home = problems at work. If you break -up, it will be very awkward having to work with or see them everyday.
*Flirting (from both sides)
*Gossiping
*The list goes on and on |

Try not to think of her has potential date material, and simply as a person that may become your friend. Ask her to lunch, or for coffee. Stress that it is simply to welcome her aboard, or whatever, but NOT a DATE.
Not everyone will date where they work. I for one think that it is a BAAAAAD idea. Potential for some repurcussions if things to don't work out...and if it does...depends on company policy!
Good luck. |
