Oh yeah, there's always a chance it could work out...course, there's also a chance it could end horribly, and you two would have to see each other every day, make little sniping comments, as each of you build your little army of allies, dividing your coworkers up into opposing armies in the battle that your relationship has become.
How big is the office?

Is he on your project team, or does he work in another part of the office?

I work with 'dudes'. The only female is the secretary and she is married, old, and fat.
So in my case interoffice relationship is definately a bad idea.

This could be career enhancing.

Whoa.....BAD idea, for a whole lot of reasons...even if the relationship works, the rest of the team will probably come to despise you once word gets out.
Now, if he were in a different department or something, maybe...but project leader? No way.

I have to blame it on being stuck in South Dakota on business for weeks on end...
Maybe it would be better if it were not a relationship at all, just a sexual tryst or two...
People's ability to destroy their long term goals for short term pleasure is unbelievable.
Bad idea, but I think you already know that.
You would never again be judged on how good you actually do your job, anything good that came your way would be seen as special favours and I don't think you would want that.
Now if you are lonely on those business trips in SD, I could always drive down from Manitoba to keep you company

Toga is just doing what many of us men do. We see a hot babe at work and we fantasize about them. Helps to get through the dull moments.
Sounds to me like she has the potential to be a successful executive.

Keep the relationship talk out of it, I think TTLPKG is on to something here. Just get it on a couple of times and then leave the Dakotas...

That should encourage everyone considering an interoffice relationship, I bet you can give some excellent advice on marriage.
That post reminds me of the time...
I met this marriage counselor guy a few months ago & he was telling me about his practice and some of the things he learned. Well, after a few drinks he tells me he is married to his third wife in ten years? WTF??

Thank you Bigdawg...
I have avoided relationships at work like the plague since I started working for this company..one of the reasons is because I am the only woman at the company that holds the same position that I do. And there has always been talk about how I "earned" my position from other ladies at the company...but there was never any truth to the rumors, so they never got far...
My project leader has been approaching me since mid-summer...and although I am very attracted to him, I have been ignoring his advances... Then I get sent out on this new start-up project, that takes me to South Dakota, for the now 3rd week. The team spends their days working together, and since the 7 of us share 1 company vechicle we also spend most of our nights together as well too. Many of our nights we spend at a little sports bar....And after a few drinks I guess my "vision" has gotten a little cloudy....
Thanks for the compliment ttlpkg...I don't know about an executive...but I would settle for the title of Senior Design Engineer...

Don't even make it a sexual tryst!
You fuck him once, twice or a few times, he'll want it more who you kidding. When you don't give it up, he'll fuck you over since he has "authority" over you.

So, you're obviously attracted to him as he is to you.
And you both are at reasonably the same level in the company.
Whats the problem then?
From your description he doesn't sound like a pushy executive at all.

To make a long story short; before getting married two years ago (first time for both of us) my wife and I together at my company. When you think about it, what better a place to get to know someone than in a work environment? You see the person on their good days and on their bad days. You see how a person handles stress, problems, conflict… and on and on and so forth and so on. We worked together for three years and became really good friends. Then one weekend we went to Ozzfest. The rest is history.toga22 said:Please remind me why this is a bad idea...I seem to have forgotten...
or is there a chance that it could work out.....?
I married my inter-office relationship. But, I wouldn't suggest it. Most of them don't work out, and then it makes for a very uncomfortable situation at work.
FYI, my wife and I work opposite shifts, so we never actually work together. But we do report to the same manager. The few times we have actually worked together, we were able to keep everything professional. But I'm sure that wouldn't last forever if the situation were to be for an extended amount of time.
