Flirting in the workplace

Think twice before venturing into the game of office seduction. While it’s possible to find love in the workplace, the risks can be considerable. Complicated professional relationships, jealousies, tensions and rumors can damage both your career and that of the person you’re interested in. If you’re determined to pursue a romantic relationship with a colleague, be sure to use discretion and tact. Be respectful of others and avoid letting your feelings interfere with your work. Keep in mind that the boundaries are blurred and the consequences can be disastrous if the relationship turns sour.

The workplace is often seen as a playground for seduction, an opportunity to flirt and meet new people. Unfortunately, it’s also a place where extramarital affairs tend to begin. Since we spend around a third of our time at work, we rub shoulders with our colleagues far more than with our romantic partners. Flirting at the office is often as simple as having a pleasant personality, being constantly available to the person you want to seduce and a charming smile.

However, it’s possible that the person you want to seduce is already in a relationship. In this case, you could find yourself in the middle of an extramarital relationship. Although it may seem tempting for those looking for fleeting adventures, the workplace is not the best place to have them.

So how do you stand out? By being the most sincere of all. As a result, you become Madame’s knight in shining armor. Does she need a form, a file, to post a letter, a coffee? You’re the one who has the form or file in question, you’re on your way out and you pass a mailbox, you’re on your way to get a coffee and you’ll be happy to bring her one.

If you have the opportunity, either because you’re a decision-maker or because you have a good relationship with decision-makers, ask to work in tandem with her on certain files, for example. You’ll then have a free hand to approach her. If she’s your superior, be her best, most efficient employee.

In the office, unless you’re really unfriendly, a woman can’t refuse to talk to you because you’re colleagues. Already, you share a bond of belonging to the same company, so there’s something that brings you closer together. Making yourself indispensable in this woman’s eyes is a real pleasure, a quest of absolute simplicity. It won’t be difficult, and shouldn’t be complex either, unless she already has someone in her life. And she’ll find that out soon enough if she guesses your intentions.

If she’s not single but seems unhappy in her personal life, there’s nothing to stop you digging deeper and becoming her confidant. If, however, she seems to be fulfilled in her intimate life, you could, by insisting, get involved in a dead-end affair that could leave you wounded if you really get attached to this woman. So the important thing for you is to assess whether the effort is really worth it.

If she’s single, it’s a no-brainer! Your greatest challenge will be to seduce her, and since you’re already 50% of the way there, since she’s working with you, all you have to do is water your rose so that it opens only for you.
