    Fallen head over heals.
    Well I met this guy at work last week, he is an attorney and had a meeting with my boss. So, I had to make coffee for them. When I came in the boardroom with the tray, he jumped up and took it from me. Each time I walked past him, he looked up at me and smiled. So after a little while he asked me where the bathrooms is and I showed him. When he had finished there he walked past me and saw a baby on my computer screen-I was busy reading emails. He smiled and asked me if it was mine. I told him that it wasn't and so he smiled and giggled with me again. Am I just taking up everything 2 seriously or is he maybe interested in me. I have his cellphoe number, he doesn't have mine. Should I maybe just sms him and tell him 2 have a great day or what should I do? I really like this guy a lot, he is so cute! If anyone could help me on this one, I would appreciate it.

    You only live once. Remember that. Life is about taking chances I think. But will your boss get upset with you if you do this? Does he come into the office a lot? If you don't think your boss will get mad at you I would try to contact him. Remember you only love once, and what would it hurt. Keep me posted I hope everything works out for you...

    This is a client of your boss meaning that this is someone your boss is going to represent? I would step back and think long and hard about it.

    What is your company policy in regards to dating co-workers and clients?

    Yes while you only live one your actions could land you in the unemployment line. My personal philosophy is to never cross that line. If you want your boss to see you are a professional and not some "good time" girl I would suggest that you do not contact this man. It can and will hurt you professionally.

    I tend to agree. Normally, I would say go for it, but what's important here is that you met at your work place. That can be tricky, so be careful, even a simple phone call could anger your boss if he finds out about it.

    You'll have to be the judge depending on the reason this man was in the office. Client of your boss? No - keep it friendly. Salesman delivering his new desk? Yes - go for it.

    He doesn't come 2 our offices a lot, because he lives in joburg and I'm in bloemfontein! I have been planning to move to joburg a while ago, because there is better works opportunities... my boss is not the aggressive type, I mean he met his wife on internet chatting in works hours!! And also my boss is his client not the other way round... does all of this change anything??

    If you have a good relationship with your boss I would ask their opinion on it.

    If you can avoid crossing the line, do it, when it comes to work, there's a lot to lose..

    You're falling in love with this guy based on his looks. Why don't you see how his personality is before you fall "head over heels in love" with a complete jerk- you have to be cautious, you never know what you're getting into.
