I never dated anyone I worked directly with -- it was a policy that served me well. For the one guy I had a huge attraction to, I waited until he was no longer with the company to say yes to his repeated asking me out but it helped that my boss said he would kill me if I said yes too LOL. By the way its never as private as you think it is!!
But with that said, I was in a position to meet lots and lots of business people who I didn't work with and those were fair game. I like how you have some distance on it being at different locations -- I travelled for work too. It all boiled down to I didn't want anything sticky circulating in the office as a result of a romance gone bad. If you think that doesn't affect business, think again.
I would not recommend you try asking any of these women out while at work. You would not only be creating an awkward situation, you could also be placing yourself, your company, and the client in legal jepordy.
Perceptions, real or imagined, have to be dealt with. If a negative perception starts developing as a result of your actions, it will have repercussions you may never have seen coming.
I would say it not the best idea. I have one successful story about a man and woman dating at the same company and they got married. But I also know many people who had it akward at the office due to dating each other, and it made other people uncomfortable, espcially when there were conflicts, people couldnt take sides and it was really akward! Steer clear!!
