I guess this is common in the workplace and otherwise, but gets tricky when one is actually faced with it. This young attractive married coworker joined our company 6 mos back. The working relationship & communication is very professional. As time progressed, the conversations quite often are cut short by compliments I get from her and I respond with a polite "Oh, thanks" and never gave them any more thought.
But off late in conversations, she throws around the F word quite frequently & when no one else is around. She very often shows pics of herself and asks for opinions about it. Now, she bluntly asks for my assessment about her curves and her other assets. Of course, I offer nothing but praise. Conversations are getting a bit intimate and subtle complaints about married life and her husband are there too.
Its quite obvious that there is a bit of boredom in the marriage, a need for attention, praise and compliments. The intimacy of conversation is what she loves. Of course one thing leads to another and a quick fling might just happen. Could that be her intent too? BTW, I am single and do actively date girls.

If she were not your co-worker I'd say. . ."dude, go for it; do her good & right until she comes back begging for more." However, at-work affairs tend to blow up on people's faces. I've witnessed several disappointingly ending episodes throughout my adult working life; enough to avoid those tempting trysts. She'd be fair game if she did not work with you. But since she does, you may want to weigh the pros, cons, and potential aftermath if and when things go south! Good luck!

This is trouble waiting to happen. Obviously this girl is a poor prospect for anything serious. For a fling, if she wasn't a coworker, I would say whatever works for both of you, but since she is a coworker, you're playing with fire. Don't risk a sexual harassment issue or getting on the boss's bad side (you may not be planning on being unprofessional about it, but you have no way to control what she does--and from the sound of her conduct, "professional" is the last thing I'd guess.)
Okay, the f-word and pictures and the questions are over the line. You could lose your job by continuing to participate in this situation. You must tread lightly. Tell her firmly and politely you are not interested. Don't let it go any further. Do you realize you could be slapped with a sexual harassment suit by her as a mean of revenge. HR may have to pull both of you into a meeting and get an agreement that this stuff will stop. She'll probably stop it after that, because she'll be on the company's radar. She'll probably move onto someone else. You date girls outside the workplace, you don't need this headache. Don't procrastinate. Fix this now.
No, it isn't "tricky" when you are faced with it. If you have any class, you will put the kibosh on this right away. When she pulls out pictures you say, "Sorry I have a lot of work to do" and leave. When she asks you for your opinion of her body you answer, "I think you should ask your husband" and walk away.

She's not stupid and neither are you. Sounds likes one of you is waiting for the other to say the "F" word and mean it....literally.
Fling or the other? My co-workers and I say the 4 letter F word a few times a day at work, never near patients or families, but yep - we say it!
