i was talking to my friend today - about having relationships with a co-worker. the general agreement was that if one was to pursue a relationship with a co-worker, one should go into it with the intention of it being long-term. that's the only time it's really worth the risk. if you don't think it's going to work out with someone that you have to work with, that you have to see every day - why chance it? it will just make for very awkward situations. unless, of course, there's a set of guidelines set out beforehand about the relationship - so that there's not too big of an emotional attachment (although, it's hard to really put guidelines on emotional involvement ahead of time).
i think this most likely applies to pursuing a relationship with friends as well. or in taking a relationship with a friend to another level, whether it be the relationship type level or friends with benefits. if you're good friends with someone , you can't pursue a relationship with them unless you think it'll last. or that's my feeling at least. especially if it's a close friend, with whom you have a special bond. that bond better be worth risking. it's gotta be something you're sure about.
you never know how it will end. will it be like when harry met sally or more like my best friend's wedding?
is it worth it?

so. look at me, i'm alive! even though i haven't been on irc in #uw or #waterloo or whatever for the past... many months.
is it worth it?
YES!!!!!!!!!
YAYYYYYY!
Unless the coworker was so hot, funny, smart, and charming that it would be impossible for anyone to turn them down, maybe you'd be better off dating the friend that you discussed this with. Or maybe your friend is a coworker too? That would be quite ironic... quite ironic indeed.
If that was the case, maybe your friend was testing the waters with you? That would mean that he was also very crafty. I don't know... I'm just saying.
