Have you ever kissed a co-worker?

theDreamer · Sep 28, 2007, 02:10 PM

No, my current job I hope never to.

osiris · Sep 28, 2007, 02:11 PM

Sure. And then some. I even married one once. Last time I ever do both.

Oh wait, do you mean a man-kiss like the kind Michael gave Fredo?

wallinbl · Sep 28, 2007, 02:13 PM

Met my wife when we were working at Target in college.

Laminar · Sep 28, 2007, 02:22 PM

I've kissed a girl I was coworkers with at one point.

Paco500 · Sep 28, 2007, 02:43 PM

ort888 · Sep 28, 2007, 02:46 PM

Rumor · Sep 28, 2007, 02:54 PM

Does it have to be a current co-worker?

iREZ · Sep 28, 2007, 03:44 PM

design219 · Sep 28, 2007, 04:01 PM

There is one I'd like to, but there's this little wife issue.

No.

KeriVit · Sep 28, 2007, 04:04 PM

Kiss-Kiss or Merry Christmas Kiss?

OldManMac · Sep 28, 2007, 04:18 PM

Seeing as how I dated a couple of them, yes.

Tiresias · Sep 28, 2007, 04:31 PM

Yes.

It felt naughty.

andi*pandi · Sep 28, 2007, 07:11 PM

yes, of the kiss-kiss hello darling variety.

besson3c · Sep 28, 2007, 07:13 PM

I wish it wouldn't be in violation of MacNN rules to create a thread called "have you ever kissed Abe?"

Face Ache · Sep 28, 2007, 07:58 PM

Several. Married the last one.

One of my co-workers asked me to shag her the night before her wedding (an offer I knocked back).

Mastrap · Sep 28, 2007, 08:45 PM

Yep. What was it again, 60% of people meet their spouse at work?

Sherman Homan · Sep 28, 2007, 10:19 PM

Does the ass count?

ort888 nails this one!

irunat2am · Sep 29, 2007, 03:56 AM

Yes, and it was horrible. Ugh.

Nivag · Sep 29, 2007, 06:50 AM

Shouldn't this thread be after the Christmas party season?

I always try to live by never do the honey where you make your money, but then the honey tastes good.....

Last two girlfriends were people i worked with, can save a lot of issues if you work long hours or go out drinking with work mates.

vexborg · Sep 29, 2007, 02:57 PM

Kissed her, then she took me home and we shagged our brains out... And now I've been married to her for 2 years

Correct!

Kevin · Sep 30, 2007, 01:16 PM

I've "Dated" a few gals I've worked with. But it never works out unless it ends up in a serious relationship.

ghporter · Sep 30, 2007, 06:58 PM

This is complex. When we met, we were both junior enlisted folks in the Air Force. My wife worked in a different section from me, so we weren't "coworkers." Further, she was faculty and I was a student and "never the twain shall meet"-at least during duty hours. We've never been what could be called "coworkers" so that never came up.

There were times I really hated the "rank structure separation" and "fraternization" rules I had to live with. I could have gotten into some REALLY big trouble by just giving a departing female coworker a peck on the cheek. In fact in one of my last jobs, the guy I replaced DID get in that sort of trouble. It was more than a peck on the cheek (a whole lot more) but he knew he was messing up by initiating the relationship. Let's just say that it should have been no surprise to him when he got a short notice assignment to somewhere less than wonderful-and never got promoted again.

turtle777 · Sep 30, 2007, 07:03 PM

Yeah, the only place in the military where you can fraternize w/o adverse ramifications is if you are a white male officer in the Navy. Darn good-ol' boys club.

Actually that's a "used to be able to" thing. After Tailhook they got kind of sensitive to that. It happens, but a lot less often, and in particular the guys are a lot more careful about their behavior. Assaulting a helicopter pilot that might just have to pull your soggy tail out of the water...just isn't the smartest thing in the world to do.

A classmate of mine is engaged to an Air Force pilot who's getting trained at Pensacola. His cadre there is, let's call it "serious" as opposed to "ludicrous" as the old-school fraternizing Navy pilots used to be.

You are right, it's changing, but VERY SLOWLY. A lot of things that would get your a$$ kicked in the Army or Air Force will earn you a slap on your wrist in the Navy.

JoshuaZ · Oct 1, 2007, 12:26 AM

Nope. Never. While I have done many, many, many dumb relationship things in my life I have managed to always stay away from my coworkers.

I'm usually not in the best mood at work anyways. My good side doesn't come out until after hours.

paul w · Oct 1, 2007, 04:32 PM

I had sex with my boss.

To be fair I didn't know she was my boss at the time. But I went ahead and did it again afterwards anyway.

Now I'm pretty safe, unless my girlfriend makes a lot more money and pays me to be her kept man...

Oisín · Oct 1, 2007, 04:51 PM

Does that ‘pass the ice cube’ game count? If so, then yes, I suppose I have. (Who knew McDonald’s work parties were so decadent, eh?)

Otherwise, no.

IIRC, the workplace is marriage market #1 for women over 30 here in Germany.

Cool. I shall remain single for a lifetime since I'm self-employed and have no co-workers.

Unless you also have no collaborators or clients, (in which case, what do you live off?

), there's still enough around to be ****ing the crew.

nonhuman · Oct 1, 2007, 05:35 PM

Yes. Across the entire US, and then some in the UK. Got a talking to by my boss. Kept doing it. Quit my job with one of them, and we're now engaged.

xi_hyperon · Oct 1, 2007, 11:10 PM

Yes.

If you are referring to Jessica, she is a dollbaby. And I hope your experiment works out well.

Do groupies count as "co-workers"?
