Posted: 7/2/2009 8:22:33 PM | | now I have never seen or heard of it myself but always thought it was funny to think about. This is for the girls mostly but sure guys can answer too. Would it annoy you if you were being picked up at work. And not just when you're not doing anything, like while you're working. | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 1:36:21 PM | Non-co-worker picking me up for a 'date'...ONLY if it was after dating her for a while and I felt comfortable with her.
Co-worker dating.
I unfortunatly don't do that. Seems like it's just setting yourself up for drama when it falls apart...or, potential job loss.
Which is kinda sad since there's at least half a dozen women there I work with who are HIGHLY attractive and quite interesting to me. So, I'd be spoilt for choice.
But...yeah...would be just setting myself up for some serious problems if the relationship didn't work out. | |

I'll do just about anything, break many taboo's, but not that one. Too close to home, and work is just the last place I want trouble. Maybe if the 2 folks are older, more stable, then sure, but it's just something I experienced in a bad way when I was around your age and learned- never again. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 1:33:34 AM | I wouldn't say never.
I have had opportunities at work but I passed them up. A couple because they were two young for me: our minds evolve and in 10 years they'll see things differently, a couple because they were married and I just don't do that, and one because she was a direct co-worker. I can see things working if the people are in different departments and not shoved into one another's faces all day at work but not when the get assigned to work together. When I got promoted out of that job it was doubly impossible because I was her supervisor. Although I knew she liked me before I got the promotion I'd still feel like a monster if I went out with her. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 10:47:29 AM | | ok, for some reason some of you people keep getting confused with the expression, "picked up". I don't mean picked up for a ride, I mean picked up as in you're getting hit on and asked out on a date. Just to clear that up. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 11:14:45 AM | ^^^Ok so you mean "tried" to pick me up. Picked me up means it worked...tried makes more sense since it usually doesn't work.
Yes, guys have tried. I'm a club DJ so I get attempted pick up about 15 times a night, mostly due to the consumption of large quantities of alcohol. If I was a wax figure behind the glass, I'd still get hit on. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 11:30:52 AM | I thought the terminology for that was "hit on".
If it's just a 'job' that you can easily replace, I'd say GO FOR IT.
If it's your career, or your can't afford to lose your job for what ever reason, I'd say PASS.
Potential love and a life partner are great...but, not at the expense of losing your livelihood. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 11:35:01 AM | A decade ago, I was propositioned at work, by a co-worker, and although it took me a day or two to let that sink in, I hesitantly accepted the challenge. OK, 4 1/2 years later, it all sank into my little pea brain. It cost us both our jobs, and then went to crap after that.  | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 2:17:47 PM | | Oh jeez there is a woman at work that has tried to hook up with me for so long yes it became annoying. After frequently ignoring her advances over a few months she finally got the hint. I prefer not to just flat out say it to her since she sits right next to me and that would have made it a bit akward work enviroment but almost had to just to get her to back off. | |

I agree, you meant "hit on." And no, I don't like to be hit on at work. It's tacky. And I'm not there to flirt, I'm there to work.
On top of that, getting "hit on" at work can cross the border into sexual harassment if the attention is unwanted -- and that goes for both sexes. So I'd be extra careful not to spend my day trying to pick up or hit on anyone in the workplace. And if someone was perstering me that way, I'd be sure to let them know their attention was unwanted.
Just a bad idea all around. | |
