Should I Take the Risk?

I have a crush on a coworker who's higher up and earns more😅We work in different departments, and while she is two years younger than me, she belongs to a higher pay grade of employees who earn almost twice as much as I do, although we do almost similar work. Do you have any tips on how to approach her without making things awkward?

What is the logic/origin of forbidding asking co-workers out ? Why is it seen negatively? How and why is it different from asking out a college mate ? Only because money is involved in the workplace and earning money is serious business ? Also ... see more

We spend 50 hours of the week at the office. Plus 30 hours a week travelling. What better place to date than at work ?

Can you be subtle about it, and not let her know of your intentions at least initially? Don't be forthcoming at all. Just ask her for a stroll and then a coffee to a nearby place. Make sure to limit the time to not more than 15-20 minutes to gau... see more

@punctualcircuit Well you can start with some mild flirting first to check her reaction.

The only way to find out is to ask her. Though, don't be in hurry and your direct approach may freak her out. First plan a small outing or dinner type of things with few friends around. And once you think comfortable at some later point, ask her if she wants to joi... see more

Okay, but what is she getting out of you ? Why would anyone be interested in someone older than them and making less than what they make ? Also, you might not know but its hard to find any single working women in this age. You need to check that out.

I think you're emphasizing too much on your designation and pay. Women do not check your designation nor pay scale before choosing to go out with you. You ought to be thinking more in lines of whether she is attracted to you or if she feels you'd make good company.... see more

Oh boy! Do NOT go there! Not unless one of you is no longer in the company. Two reasons: You miscalculate and the person files an internal case against. OR, Someone who knows you both files a case against you. Anything close enough to "liking/crushing" on someone i... see more
