    You could ask her. We don't know her so we don't know if she wants a relationship with you.

    If she is your client then she is off limits as far as an intimate relationship goes. Keep it business-like.

    No, there is no field, where having a relationship with a client is a good idea. End of discussion. A failed relationship will harm business relations.

    If she is your client she needs to know your name, and most likely your number. As for the hug. Many women are huggers. Don't read too much in to this.

    Peoples real feelings are seldom known for months as they, while maybe willing to experiment and explore possibilities, don't know themselves, so don't be insecure, and take it personally. You talk and find out, as there are more rejections than not, and its always been that way, so its your own fears of rejection that makes this such a big deal.

    Fear in itself is a mixed signal, when it comes to inviting another adult for a drink outside of work.

    Im afraid that she don't have feelings for me because I do have feelings for her and really never made first move in my life didn't have too but I have the feeling she thinks the same and that's she's afraid to to be honest fears of rejection too probably lol but if I look back at what happen so far she's did more that I did so I guess now I will just go and jump and admit no matter what will be the result because not knowing make me sick and I cant keep going like this anymore thanks for the extra push I needed...

    I hope it works out for you, but if she is offended it could backfire and you could lose your job. Are you prepared for that?

    There is plenty of danger to your job. She is your client and if you approach her about a relationship, and she does not reciprocate your feelings, you could be setting yourself up for a sexual harassment charge. Just asking that question could be construed as sexual harassment by the wrong person.

    I guess I will have to take the risk but asking someone if she as personal feelings for you not really a sexual harrasement but I was asking her to have sex with her yes but that video will show I avoid her hug in case she turns around but sherril. A very caring and honest lady someone you can trust and won't makeup story nothing sexual in this phrase to you have personal feelings for me I do have a background in law field no my rights that's why I avoid her hug during my work because its was to intimate but because of me avoiding her hug you can see tears in her eyes and I'm stuck with that image in my memory and its hurt because I really want to hug her too and tell her I'm here and I care for u :-(

    Asking a someone if they have feelings for you can indeed be construed as sexual harassment. Apparently you have no knowledge of corporate law.

    Simply forwarding a funny email could be considered sexual harassment if the person you forwarded it to doesn't agree with your train of thought b

    julie, may I ask what type of work you do?

    You seem to be hanging your hopes on an aborted hug and her asking for your name. If she is your client, shouldn't she already have your name?

    Understand that a someone who is hurting can say things that aren't exactly true in an effort to hurt the person who hurt them. You seem to think a video at work would protect you from any fallout but it can't and won't if she claims your harassment was outside of the workplace.

    Frankly, I do not recommend dating or even thinking about romantic relations with someone connected to your work. I include other employees, bosses, and clients. It is too easy for misconstrued words or actions to cause major issues and cost people far more than they realize.

    If you do contact her, start out as a friend not a potential lover. You may find that she was looking for a friend instead of something "more". You might even attempt to apologize for what she may have perceived as rude behavior.
