What To Do When Dating A Co-Worker

Published

Long story short, I sort of had a date with one of the surgical residents where I work. She is a bit younger than me and things progressed at speed of light pace. Little regret at get so intimate so soon, but now I do not know what to do.

I like her a lot and she is so beautiful, but I don't want to let my personal life spill over into my work life. I know - a little late now to care about that, but I don't want her attending to know about the budding romance and do not want my co-workers to give me $hi$ over it.

How can I tell her to pump the brakes and not be all clingy at work. I have to work with these people and I do value their respect. I still like her, but not so touchy feely at work. Is there hope?

I was talking about the people who would actually matter in this instance; i.e., the ones he works with gossipping and shaking their heads.

I didn't realize thats what u meant.. my bad.:)

I know it's idealistic to hope that just once the people enjoying themselves at no one's expense would win out over the legion of small-minded, mean-spirited busybodies. In this case, I'd rather be an idealist.

To be human is to be errant, which is why in this case I have a more realist POV. But I'm sure the OP appreciates your imput.
