When I was young and single, and worked with mostly young and single people, of course I was. Some I ended up dating; some I only pined for.
As I got older it happened less often. Now I can’t really think of anyone I work with whom I would be attracted to.
I had a brief long-distance relationship w/ someone, where we ended up calling it quits because of the distance.
Imagine my surprise when, a year later, I start at my new job, I find out he’d moved here and is working for the same company.
Of course, now that we are co-workers, there’s really no point in trying to pursue anything.
At my last job, I worked at a small office where two people had an affair before I started working there. They both stayed in their marriages after they were caught and continued to work together after it all blew up. It was so awkward from the get go, although I was there a few months before people finally told me about the friction I felt between the two of them.
I have often had crushes on coworkers, even when married. They often fade within weeks and I never act on them. If I was single, maybe I would have.
i was going through some tense moments… and this helped me to find if i am alone…
to Me it is rare… and it occurred years back. but this time it is very stronger…
I donot intent to get to moon. but rather feels that i am excited… and the fact is that i am very much…
she a thin but good loooking not having the figures mean the boob factor… but something else charms…
I am attracted over something…i donot know… may be it is just lust
her behaviour is just normal… and so do i keep the pace…
heii before moving… i am single and she is married and have a kid but they are staying away for few months… not fighting but something else…
Nitpick. lust at the workplace, or co-worker lust.
Every time I see ‘work lust’ I get jealous of these notional people who have a lust to work.
Technically single for most of my twenties, you betcha. Acted on it once. Scrub pants on a really nice butt…not a great decision. My heart was elsewhere.
A few jobs I’ve held had one, mainly back when I was temping. Never really got up the nerve to talk to any, though. The last one, a petite little thing with good proportions and a penchant for push-up bras, turned out to be sweet on me. When she revealed that she was in danger of losing her home, I invited her to stay with me with the goal of seeing if any sparks would fly. Turned out she was able to keep her home but I did get a peck on the cheek for the invitation.
I was on the receiving end of being asked to enter a relationship with a co-worker once. Wasn’t interested at the time and she didn’t really do anything for me.
Really? 
did you get a hug?
it is really worth since you have taken away her headache… consolation prize :dubious:
great
We’re still friends and she still calls me by that cute little nickname which hardly anyone else uses.
Man, I almost never work with good looking people. I’m almost always surrounded by stuffy old guys who clip their cell phone holsters onto their pants. I worked with a super cute 23 year old once, and I actually liked it when he’d come into my office to chat. I’m usually annoyed by people who waste my time, but I gave him a pass. Turns out there are perks to being good looking. Who knew?
I worked with a cute guy who just quit unfortunately. He would flirt with me and we’d have long conversations then seemingly out of nowhere he mentioned he had a girlfriend. I felt like us hanging out was a little inappropriate given that development, but I didn’t want to be rude so just kept things friendly. He invited me to a party last weekend and I met her- she’s very nice and I think is a much better fit for him than I would be. I’d like to keep in touch with him since he’s a cool guy, but obviously future plans will be made through the girlfriend and I’m making it a point to see other guys who are actually available (and are not co-workers).
Yes. I’m marrying him December. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone.
Great…
it isnt a lust anymore… it is love
mean while i am just learning new things…
the first tightness isno longer there… means lust has a time frame… it wont last long… only love can survive
Yes. This was a long time ago in San Francisco. He was a gay man, and also my immediate supervisor. I am a straight woman. It made things a bit weird thereafter, but not critically. He was a lot of fun to hang out with.
Count me in the “often tempted but would never act on it” camp.
My first thought upon reading that was “Of course it’s not, she has a kid!” Can’t imagine where my mind is…
I’ve worked at a whole lot of jobs over the decades, and in about half of them, there was someone I was interested in. The only time I acted on it was way back in one of my earliest jobs, about 45 years ago. And I was the guy’s supervisor. It was nice, but I don’t remember it leading anywhere.
In the 90s I drunkenly hooked up with a co-worker at an office Christmas Party. Not after the party but actually during the party.
Being a government funded drug and alcohol dependence research institute it was well populated with highly educated, left-wing, politically-correct people. We received a surprising number of high fives, handshakes and fist bumps.
There’s usually at least one guy at work who I’d be willing to get to know a little better, but most of the time they’re married/in an LTR/not interested in a fat 42-year-old.
On Friday afternoon, though, the new graphic artist – who is 28 and has been referred to by others as “eye candy” – and I were talking about upcoming music festivals and he quite casually said we should check out some shows together sometime. He has also started laughing at even my weakest jokes. I know he’s simply being young and friendly and is just psyched that someone else in the office is into music (we’re on the same team and have chatted a few times; he thinks it’s cool that I’m a jazz singer), but I’ll admit that the joke responses plus Friday’s invitation have led to a few Mrs. Robinson-esque thoughts… 
My profession attracts a significant number of intelligent, attractive, nerdy young females upon whom it is impossible to look without a certain amount of lust. I’m old enough to be their grandfather, so I do nothing more than fantasize.
When I was younger, my rule was to wait until one of us rotated (inevitable in large companies), and we weren’t working together on a daily basis, before asking out a prospect. It didn’t work–I’d get friend-zoned before anything could happen.
