I generally agree with the 'don't date people you work with' rule. That was always a rule of mine. However, I did met my current girlfriend at work. We now live together and work together. I think it CAN work if you find the right person. Plus, we don't actually work directly in the same department, or even sit by each other. And we really don't see each other that much during the day anyway. So maybe that makes a little difference.

When you do get your date, use Mike Damone's 5 rules from Fast Times


Mike Damone:

First of all Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi."

Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it."

Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?"

Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice."

And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

If you really like her, your chances of success are going to be much greater by showing some confidence, believing you are great (which will translate into other people believing it because of your own conviction) and approaching her yourself... it's a lot less creepy and awkward.

I was wondering when I'd use it, but yes, on a slow night. . . that'll work.

Screw being set up. The fact is that the person who does the setting up usuall talks you up and leaves her with this fantasy that you're Fabio with brains.

When you see someone you want, just think about how lonely you'll be sitting at home beating your meat to blurry cinemax after dark specials. Then, find your balls and ask the girl out. They respect that a whole lot more.

Close. Inconsistent Reinforcement yields results. . . like a slot machine.
