Having sex with a married coworker? (women, different, issues, professional)

[fanman72]

I am unattached

we both know what's up. The tension is constantly there.

worth the risk? She's in the same department as me and we sometimes work on projects together

if so, what's the best way to proceed.

Sure, be the douche who sleeps with a married woman whom they work with.

Really, does this sound like a great idea to you? Do you have no standards, no morals, no sense of taking the higher ground?

Let's ignore the moral aspect - my question is more along the lines of how this would affect me professionally

Not to proceed.

I agree that since you're unattached, you're free to have sex with anyone that approaches you.

However, 2 things:

She has not propositioned you directly.

You work closely with her and are in the same department.


No. Bad idea.

You'd be facing a potential job loss if anything got reported to your HR dept.

No sex on the side is worth all that.

Do it! What could possibly go wrong? Be sure to flirt openly and tell all of your coworkers after as well

Women can be vindictive... I know. I am one. One false step, one flirt or lingering stare at another women in the office could blow up in your face.

I dated someone who worked in the same co as me. We never worked together and our offices were on opposites sides of the building. Never caused drama. Would have NEVER done it if we worked together though.

I agree with the others here. A few moments of pleasure are not worth all that potential hassle and that's not even getting into any of the moral issues...

[Inebriated Duck]

Ignoring the moral side of things, it would still be a bad idea. If you were in completely different departments in a large multinational it might work, but at such relative proximity only bad can come of this.

If you don't care about the moral issues, who gives a rip about your career? Whatever bad news comes your way, workwise, I'm sure you'll just step over them to get the best result for you. I mean, who cares about if you hurt anybody? If you don't, why ask the question?
