i did it... and it's hard hard hard now that it's over.
basically she broke it off... she freaked out for reasons that are not clear to me. basically, she wanted out and i think she figured flipping out would be easier than initiating a break up.
but to get over a girl, the idea is to not see them and not know details about what they're doing with their lives... especially romantically.
unfortunately, i'm around that all the time (she even told me she was seeing someone which i took with a gritted teeth smile but totally sent me reeling... hell, i'm still on the bubble) and i'm finding it difficult to recover from.
it's even made me consider quitting.
if you go out and it goes well and stays well, you're gold. if it goes wrong instantly or soon, you're still good. but if it goes well for a while and then goes sour, you're in for a world of hurt... like me.
i can't tell you not to do it. it may be the one after all. unfortunately, i'm just here to say that the consequences can be sanity shattering and perhaps job ending.
proceed with that understanding.

p.s. my situation was somewhat like in "the office" with jim and pam... we were great compatriots and we kinda dug each other for a while and then i made the move. so we had a connection to begin with... and it's harder now because it's all gone now, though i wouldn't trade what i did... we want lovers, not friends right?
but if you just barely met her, there's less attachment and if you just want something superficial, it might be worth it.... hell, if it's without emotional attachment, even if it gets NASTY as hell with the fall out, it's probably something you can shrug off....
only get dangerous with attachment.
