writes: I am considering asking a guy out on a date. He works in a building I'm doing work on (construction renovations). I run into him often with my coworkers and boss.I see him often because of work. We look at each other a lot. We are friendly. He usually seems happy to see me. I'm curious about him and get a good vibe. I recently started chatting him up a bit when I went to his office solo and he seems to respond well....but...The big "but" for me is that he is involved with my work. And it could get awkward. Say I go on a date, I like him and continue seeing him, but then I show up at this office with my boss when we're doing work...it seems awkward, no? I guess I'm a private person and I don't like work and my personal life to conflict. That's why I've never considered dating anyone I work with. I think that's just asking for trouble.Am I getting ahead of myself and worrying about things I shouldn't, or am I cautious for good reason? Should I ask this guy out? I know there is also the good chance might also not like him...but then I have this feeling that would just be as awkward.Opinions?

When you want to badly enough, you will do it. This work thing is just you being scared. After all, as the other two posters said, you won't be doing this job forever.
You just have to have courage to have relationships. And you have to have the courage to face the potential "awkwardness" if things don't work out.
Look at it this way, its already awkward for you. But in the current scenario, its awkward and you don't have a date (I would prefer awkward with a date, personally).

 Why don't you ask him if he'd be interested in getting together with you once the building is completed. Then you'll know if it's worth pursuing or not.
