Messing with female coworkers (unless you work at fast food or retail and even then it’s still slightly risky) seems like a recipe for disaster imo. If shyt goes south then at worst you will be accused of harassment and have your reputation ruin and possibly even fired and at best you will still have to see and work alongside her at the job.

Generally, it saves you from the bullshyt. But meeting people at work is still one of the most common places people meet. So I think if you come correct and respectfully, even if you get turned down it won't be the biggest deal. Everyone/most people aren't getting me-too'd.

If it's a bullshyt job, do whatever you want...

This thread gets made every 6 months. Yes smashing coworkers seems like a lay up considering the close proximity and how much time we spend at work, but why would you want to sh!t where you eat? Unless it's some real deal soul mate type of thing, not smashing and dashing, don't do it. Keep your professional and personal lives separate. I'mma say it again, keep your professional and personal lives separate

The two times I've seen it work both couples dated on the low and eventually got married. They kept their relationship secret for months/a year or so until it got very serious.

It happens more than people wanna admit. And these women do be choosing.

The only advice I'll give you is if you do indulge, remain stoic. Don't catch feelings and don't react to the BS games these women may run. Don't lead them on and don't sell them dreams. Let them know what it is from jump and be sure to pick women who has something to lose as much as you.

But yeah, call centers or large retail are probably fine if you're just getting your career started. There are tons of attractive young people who don't want to be there who you can get close to, drinks after work etc etc. It's almost expected at that level.

But if you're in a closer office environment, or if your reporting structure is "vertical", I would stay away from anyone in my own business unit or team. Larger work events, like trips or conventions are a safer bet as your meeting people from the company which can make for easy conversation, but you don't actually work with them. A lot of people come to those events to get drunk as hell and "release steam"...

A lot of professional folks, executives and the like, have met their spouses at work or work related functions tho. They live through their work and need to meet someone who understands that life. It's risky
