I did'nt read all these post. Im a bottom line kind of guy. This is something that should not be analyzed. If you are interested you just do it. If it does not work out the way you wanted you deal with it and move on.
may work in some situations, but by reacting without thinking in other situations which involve other people long term, may need futher consideration all the way around...this is a work situation, which makes it all the more sensitive.

Just my thoughts.

creme - you are SO right. This could really blow up in their faces, these things do all the time...
OMG. Shuke, I haven’t found a darn thing that makes the risk of me losing my job worthwhile over this guy! Believe me, I need my job AND I LOVE MY PAYCHECK MORE THAN ANYTHING!!!
Check this, I had more computer problems today and called the guy I likeD into my office to fix them. Maybe he sensed that I liked him, I don’t know, but his demeanor was COMPLETELY different than anything I had ever seen from him before. Today, this guy was more aggressive and assertive in his tone and his comments to me…very unusual for him; nothing I had seen from him in the 10 months he has worked in the office. Then, it happened…whatever he was doing to purportedly fix my computer, instead, caused the f*&^%@g thing to crash and lose all of my friggin’ files!!! He was so nonchalant about it. He actually said, “Uh, it happens. I have a lot of other tickets to get to. I’ll come back to you later” and left. This was at 9:30 AM. I was livid. I waited three hours for him to come back and finally went to the CEO, voiced my concerns and displeasure, and demanded satisfaction. An hour later, he was disciplined and spent the rest of the day in my office trying to fix my computer and recover my files.
OMG, if I had asked him out or if we were dating, I could see all of the problems this issue would have caused me! I need my job and don’t want to jeopardize it on some guy whom I’m not sure I hear wedding bells ringing for or even know whether he’s gay! What an idiot I am for even considering this! Thanks, Shuke for talking some sense into me…I was considering taking Rance’s advice, but jumping his bones doesn't seem as important to me as getting my paycheck...maybe that's how I should gauge any future potential realationships: what's more important. Oh yes, and I am sure that my other employees would have had a FIELD DAY with this, especially since this is now the time for performance reviews and many of them aren’t going to fair too well.
If you are in a position of management at all, I don't recommend you dating anyone at work- higher, lower, or even on the totem pole. Women have to work twice as hard as men to be respected in the business world. Becoming known as someone who uses the office as a dating pool (and only one time will do that, trust me) will cost you the respect not only of your bosses, but of your subordinates. You open yourself to being fodder for gossip and you open your personal life to the entire office if the person you date isn't discreet or respectful if and when things go south.
