You probably give better advice than most paid advice columnists, right? Well, our friend Phil is ready to take you up on that. Leave a comment with your advice.Phil's question: "I have a flirtatious relationship with a co-worker of mine. I'm fairly certain that she's actually interested but am hesitant to do anything about it, since we are pretty good friends.
"She's older than me (by about 15 years or so), divorced, and has children. I am definitely not looking for anything serious with her, and I doubt she is either. Is it off limits to pursue a casual hookup in this kind of situation?"
Ladies, let's help him out. Should Phil pursue his hot co-worker? Let him know in the comments.
About our Charity Case: Phil plays the bass guitar and works in the music industry in Los Angeles. He likes In-N-Out burger, making his cat look like she's playing the drums, and pretty much any movie starring Kevin Costner.

Well, since you are the guy, I'd say that experimenting is fine... maybe not having sex.. but try bringing it 'off campus'. Treat her to a date and such. Make sure you know what she wants... Or atleast try to find out.

No. Single moms don't play like others. (Trust me, I am one). We do have casual hookups, but it's not a game.

I think of the workplace like high school in a way. If you don't mind seeing this person when you are done hooking up since it sounds like the chances of this being a long-term thing are slim to none, then good on you! Plus, like high school, your co-workers are bound to find out, and turn your innocent tryst into ragmag headlines. Honestly though, people make assumptions about others without any basis so they probably already gossip about the non-existant sex life the two of you have just based on the fact that you have a flirtatious relationship. I would ask yourself the question: Just how much awkwardness can I stand once this "fling" is over and I still have to see this person everyday? All in all, I think a casual thing is probably best saved for those you have the potential to never have to see again.

Coming from my personal experience, not to long ago, I felt the same way you did. I thought I didn't want anything serious since I am actually dating some one. I was looking to put some fire in my life and thought I would do it with a co worker. We use to text each other every day, dirty comments and little things like that to spice it up. Our co workers started to catch on a little bit, sometimes it's hard not to show how you feel about some one, especially sexually. But, I would not recommend it! After you actually have sex you don't or won't have the same type of relationship that you did before, take my advice from someone who has been there done that!!!

No. Never a good idea to hook up with anyone from work. Flirt is fun, keep it that way. Do Not Pursue.

This may seem obvious to some people but I'm just going to say it. Do NOT S#%T where you work! NO NO NO! If you want a fling do it with someone you don't have to work with!
