Who is out of bounds for you? If you are not single think back to when you were and answer.

Just curious on the poll results. All three are no gos for me.

You can vote for as many or as few options as you like and its an anynomous poll.

I'm female and, to different degrees, anyone married (or in a serious relationship, particularly if children are involved), any co-worker and anyone in my family (which even includes, for me, men my friends are, or are seriously and firmly interested in, dating).

When I was single , anyone married or in a relationship.

I think I would have had to think that person was the love of my life and I would literally be throwing my life away by not trying and even then I suspect I would simply have assumed that anyone willing to cheat on their spouses/partners for me would do the same to me.

I value loyalty above all else so I would find it pretty despicable of myself to be "the other woman". I need to be able to look myself in the mirror without feeling self loathing and despising myself.

Anyone married, definitely. Fuggedaboutit.

In a relationship? Well, I don't know about that...sometimes you're in a relationship out of habit (this happens ALL THE TIME) and you do wind up meeting someone who makes more sense for you. That doesn't mean they have to cheat. You can get to know each other and then they can break up...

Relatives...? Erm...no way in heck.

I don't see the big deal with coworkers, though one should consider it being wiser not to sh*t where you eat...

You can be married out of habit too (and because you fear all the custody battle, the money and/or property lost and the paperwork involved if you get a divorce), it happens all the time. And since married relationships are more difficult to leave even though you may desire it very much, it probably happens much more often than having an unmarried reltionship out of habit.

Yeah, but at the wedding, part of the ceremony is the community and friends vowing to help keep it together. Whether or not you think it's right, blatantly trying to get someone to break a marriage vow is a little skeevy in my opinion.

I cannot believe that through this poll I just kinda acknowledged I would see someone who is married.

None of the above. Married? Been there done that. No. Relatives?? No. Co-worker? Been there done that, too. Definitely NO.

Nope.

I'm not single, but back in the day, I could foresee dating a coworker, depending on the situation/how closely you work together, power structure at work, etc. Never did it, though...lack of appealing male coworkers.

Everything else on the list is a blatant no-go.

When I was single, I dated a couple of ladies that were going thru a divorce.......so they were still married technically. I spent the night with a co-worker......no relationship evolved, just a "one nighter". Never a relative!
AND, never dated a "Hottie".......couldn't afford to!
Gee, can any of you believe that a 61 yr old man is using the word "Hottie"???? Wife and I use to be "Hotties" (at least we thought that).....10 plus years ago!
