writes: Hi, advice on flirting/dating appreciated! I'm finally getting back on the dating scene 1 year after breaking up with my ex-bf of 9 years after he cheated on me. I've done my crying, my feeling bad about myself, and have at last found the confidence to meet new people. Anyway, unexpectedly, I've met a guy at work and want some advice as I feel out of practice with flirting/dating stuff. We have only ever really said hi to each other, but he tracked me down on a social networking site, and we've been chatting through that, then this weekend, he asked for my number and asked me when I'm going to come out with him and the people from work. He's lovely, and I get butterflies whenever I see him at work. I've dated a few other people in the last few months after being set up by friends, but didn't want to pursue anything with those guys, but this one is maybe different? I know he's single, and I guess I'd like some advice on what to do next...I guess I want to get to know him a bit better outside of work and see what happens, but wonder how to play this? I feel sooo out of practice and would appreciate any advice, particularly from guys, on how to move things on a little. Thanks :)

You have to be extremely careful when it comes to dating someone at the office. Obviously you can't go in to it thinking that something is going to go wrong, but you have to be objective to the possibility of it going wrong. If it does go wrong, now you risk your job as well as your love life and if both go wrong, now life is really going to be miserable.
