Office Romance

[RED2018]

♡♡♡

some women are hot and dangerous...

haha haha

 

but anyway nice experience

 

Women are dangerous creatures...but men can't live without danger!

[*Jessie*]

Hahaha! You said it, that experience was unforgettable. I felt like such a fool. But funny, before I left she made friends with me again.

 

Im sure she wouldnt forget it too. To be blunt, she seemed fo be quite messsd up. Lol. But well, we do all have our share

[*Jessie*]

I guess it really depends...

 

I had an officemate that started out as a "barkada", the drinking buddy, then girlfriend.

 

We actually broke up a few months after she resigned.

 

Siguro we were both the type na kapag hindi namin ma-feel ang presence ng partner namin or parang feeling ko weak yung desire/effort (parating may excuse...) to be with me, I tend to "drift away".

 

well at least u tried. thanks for sharing

[*Jessie*]

In my case it was hard to choose or choice becomes limited.. Pag binakuran ka na ng isa and he makes it known that he intends to court you, the rest who had the same intentions would back off. Sayang ang iba hahaha.

 

Whoa! Mukhang madalas ka mabakuran ah. :-) As for me, ni isa wala. Haha!

In my case this is not an option as the higher management (like BDO) always find ways to stop and eliminate office romance as this always lead to conflict of interest.

I remember when I've had a relationship with our art supervisor, same time with my co-artist, haha ang hirap pag ihahatid ako pauwi, Kung anu-anong alibi. Kay supervisor tell ko kasabay ko sis or whosoever after uwi etc., kay co-worker naman May racket o sideline na ibibigay si sir....haha hirap kaya nag resign Ako

This is not for me. It has too many cons and provides for so many distractions. Avoid it at all cost unless you are serious about the other person to the point of getting married. And if somehow you got married, better transfer to another office. Work should be separated from love and relationship (kahit flngs and affairs).

Office romance is a no no for me.

[rhubs]

No no for me as well.

Everyone knows office romance is a NO-NO, for all the obvious reasons present. But, it's really hard to avoid, especially when you see and work with someone every day. It takes a lot of self-control and self-mastery and prudence to keep things 'in place.'

 

There's this one cute chick in one of the offices I manage. She's relatively new, and one of the youngest staff there, albeit she's already a regular. I know she likes me, and I like her too. We have our amorous glances, and she readily allows me to chat with her in particular apps, and is quite liberal about speaking with me when she has the time and the opportunity, especially when we're just alone in the conference room.

 

Although I am single, and she is too (although she says she has a bf), and I know I can eventually 'win her over,' we instinctively know that it's not suppose to be. So, we kinda keep our distance, especially since most of the staff in that office are females, who are very observant of each other, and of course, are somewhat talkative, to put things in politically correct terms.

 

There are some guys who are hitting her, but it's pretty obvious she shrugs them off, to my amusement, of course!

 

It's difficult, but I guess I/we have to keep things professional because once we "lose it," I may lose the respect of everyone in that office. The consequence would be, she or I, or both of us, would have to quit when things get off-hand. And, it would hard to lead and manage people who would lose all sense of respect.

 

But it's hard, especially if the attraction is present.

I admire the self control! And another risk is if you do end up together, there will be instances of bumps within the relationship (fights) --- Maintaining professionalism and your cool is easier said than done when you have that scenario and you have to work together.

Hindi maiiwasan lalo na pag lagi kayong magkasama. Kung single ok lang but pag married eskandalong malaki and pag chichismisan pa kayo ng mga makakating dila.

[jgc813]

It really takes two to tango, as the saying goes. For as long as one of the two don't make an advance, nothing will happen. At the most, there will be gossip, especially if the two of you take the more-than-longer-time for talking/conversing, and are alone together. You want to avoid the gossip, keep your togetherness professional, and at a minimum.

 

In our Philippine context, it is the guy who makes the move, USUALLY. (A girl can also, but that's another story.) I can always make very unassuming moves like, "pauwi ka na ba? Sabay ka na lang sa akin kasi dyan rin ako papunta," Then later, it can move on to something like "tara na, merienda muna tayo." Seemingly innocent and wholsome gestures, right? If the girl likes me, regardless of my motives, she will readily agree. OR, I can always text her to meet after office hours, in a discreet place. Again, if she likes me, she will oblige.

 

And that's when the complications begin. You spend innocent and wholesome time together, and little by little, liking turns to loving and/or lusting. Eventually, you may end up in bed together at some point in time. You and her may become friends with benefits, and/or discreet lovers, or, real honest-to-goodness steadies.

 

There are occasions I can do that. And, I know, she will oblige. And, she has obliged already in one or two occasions. She and I attended some meeting somewhere, and returning back to her office (I have several offices), I intentionally invited her to ride with me so that I could drop her off. Payag naman siya. In my car, I don't make any passes, I don't make any insinuations. I am just being a gentleman, nothing else.

But I can go beyond that. I can really make my moves, and I know I can get into her pants. It's really up to me.

But I don't. I am not a hero or a saint, because I have thought about that countless of times. (Natutukso rin naman ako because she's really so yumyum.)

I have been burnt in the past already, and it's so hard to make a rebound. I have learned my lesson.
