But the problem is it doesn't take much for me to like a girl

Essentially what you are telling us then, is that you're so devoid of female contact that when a woman actually does something crazy like talk to you, you read way way too much into it, then think 'hey... maybe'
 
As said if it's just you having feelings towards the girl then it's unlikely to be going anywhere. There's no absolute rule that says an office romance can't work, a number can and do work but what you've got there isn't a romance unfortunately - office or otherwise.

That's the way I read it. We all like attention from the opposite sex but you've got to know where to draw the line.

Something more interesting to discuss: Does anyone work for a company that doesn't allow relationships?

I've done it a few times, once lasted nearly two years and was great.

The other was a drunken night, was pretty awkward.
 
Falling for a girl that you know already has a boyfriend?

Scared of this turning into a romance?

"Ahhh so confusing!"

+

"No idea what to do"


Oh dear. Get a grip!!!!!!

I'm sorry! But come on.....

Office romances are fine, I've never had any bad experiences when things haven't worked out. Keep it a secret if possible though.
But... this is an office crush, not an office romance...
 
what you need to do is invite her out for drinks and tell her how you feel if she rejects you just get her home phone number and call up at odd times in the night and just breath heavy down the phone girls love that
 
The good:
-You can have a laugh/moan about the office and colleagues
-Gives you a good excuse to be seen together
-Can see quite a lot of them
-Thrill of doing things you shouldn't at work

The bad:
-If it is supposed to be secret, paranoia about getting found out (e.g. ears pricking up whenever their name is mentioned)
-Awkward if things turn sour
-Risk of alienating other workers
-Distracting from your work

I was wondering how many people have had experience with office romance. I'm asking because I'm falling for this girl at work who already has a boyfriend and I'm trying my best not to like her but I fail miserably..I'm afraid I'll end up liking her too much and it will be a bit difficult to see her everyday at work (she works on the desk next to me).

I'm guessing office romances are a bad idea? :confused:

Leave her well alone Rossuk89 she is already spoken for! Serious question now? How would you feel if someone was making a move on your girlfriend when they fully acknowledged she was dating you? Hopefully you'll back off and just keep things on a friends only basis, otherwise I hope her boyfriend catches on to your advances towards her and presents to you a wicker basket full of kittens and puppies wrapped in a big pink bow!
 
A drunken fumble after an office party? Go for it.
A 'proper' relationship where you have to work together and where one of you could be the others boss? Probably not, the chances of it ending are very high and it could cause all sorts of problems.

I'd avoid it, plenty of other birds out there.

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.

I guess the unobtainable offers an extra level of attraction.
