Should I date my best friend, who is also my colleague?!

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

A new guy started working with me a year ago. He is the level above me and more qualified (im training to gain the same qualifications). Over the last year he has become one of my best friends. Hes great company and we get on unbelieveably well. He is also an amazing teacher, and helps a lot with my studying. We are quite different though - he is a 28 year old divorcee with a daughter, and is a comic book nerd (think big bang theory lol). Whereas im 23, still live at home while im studying and i love partying and football. We are amazingly good friends however. I also have a pretty complicated family situation, which due to the nature of our job, he can understand better than any other guy i know.

Then 3 months ago I split up with my ex who I had started going out with just before I met my friend. At this point a lot of our mutual friends started saying how good we'd be together. Nothing happened until last weekend though, when we had a movie night together and ended up making out the whole night.

But now I dont know what to do. I would love to see what happens as sometimes I could imagine us being everything id ever hoped for. But other times I dont want to risk our friendship, as id hate to lose him. And theres also work to think about, would it be weird if we were together and working together? I know itd be awful if we didnt work out and still had to work together.

This may also sound shallow but I didnt have much physical attraction to him until we kissed, and im scared that would fade over time. We have agreed until we know what we are were not telling anyone. But im so confused i need to ask someone, so help please! :)
