Office romances can be ok. Office unrequited infatuations? Not so much.

I got with the other placement student when I was on my Uni placement 5 years ago.

Still together, so I guess I'm pretty pro office-romance.

Been there, it's tough. I didn't do anything about it because she had a boyfriend but we are still good mates today.

Do you think she likes you?

I'd avoid, as when it goes sour, working together can be tough... from experience.

Still gonna try and pull the work placement student at the xmas party though. ;-)

Ditto, except for the last bit. :mad:

Girl who has a boyfriend, no no. Just causes too much unneeded headaches.

Personally i would say stay well clear ... If it works out then great but if it doesn’t its a right royal pain in the arse ....

Just my 2 p

I don't plan on doing anything, she's been with her boyfriend a few years and I'm not the type of person to try and attempt to ruin that or whatever.

She's really friendly, texts me quite a lot, we talk about a lot of personal things, hard not too when we spend 8 hours a day with eachother!

I was just at a work related party to do with the council and we were dancing a bit then she text me almost straight away asking where I was when I went to go get some fresh air! But the problem is it doesn't take much for me to like a girl, she's extremely friend and nice and I take that the wrong way even though I know she has a boyfriend! Ahhh so confusing!

No idea what to do, I tell myself everyday that there is no chance with her but when I talk to her that all goes out the window and I become infactuated with her lol

Hah... what annoys me so many of them openly flirt, not just friendly, yet are in a ostensibly committed relationship.

Even when they are single it can be quite awkward if things don't work out but you have to work with them every day.

This thread is now completely pointless. Seriously, what exactly are you asking us :confused:

There is no 'romance', she's taken. Congratulations, you made a friend who is a girl. Cool story etc.

Yeah that's so true! That's what makes it harder!

I personally try not to mix work with pleasure... certainly if she's not single makes it even more of a no no. Sure, you can help how you feel, but to me this whole situation could get messy.

Sorry if you think it's pointless lol. I'm just asking what other people's experiences have been like that's all.

And no idea what you're on about in the last part but ok!

Seems like he's indirectly asking us on what to do, so he probably expects replies such as, move on, smash the bakery, etc...

Certainly makes it hard to know where to draw the line sometimes...

It's not confusing at all. You, my dear chap are well and truly in the friend zone.

This is not a bad place to be, as chances are she has a range of female friends, possibly even a sister. Although do NOT get your hopes up for any of them that she describes as "bubbly"/"fun" as they will undoubtedly be a swamp-donkey.

Never **** on your own doorstep.

Personal experience?

Call me an emotionless git but seriously, how can you fall for a girl who has a boyfriend and shows little interest? I've never understood it when guys do this, there's millions of girls out there, go find another one who's just as hot but isn't attached! She's not as perfect as your head thinks.
