The easiest thing to do is be professional and not personal in the workplace.

The things that you can get away with, with your friends, are barriers in the workplace.

Don't talk to people about personal things at work. Treat them like colleagues and not confidants.

If your company has a policy about workplace romances, then don't romance at work.

Basically let the other person make the move and if they do and you can take advantage of it to propel up the corporate ladder then do it as well.

Personally, I avoid the whole drinking with people at work. When they have events like Christmas parties I'll make an appearance and then head out the side door after an appropriate amount of time.

I'm not at work to expand my social club.

I dated in the work place a long time and that's a fricken mine field that nobody should try to navigate. This isn't a movie, its a real life thing and a wrong step has huge costs to your future.
