[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please confirm this is the right thing to do.  I am married and have become attracted to a colleague over time  and am sorry to say I'm not as friendly with him as i would be if he weren't attractive.   I think he would like to be friends but I never give out personal information unless directly asked.  And I don't ask as much about his personal life as I otherwise would.  It is sad because I could use more friends in the office but better safe than sorry?  I know the answer but would appreciate hearing others' experiences.  [/quote]

I think you're showing more restraint than I've witnessed on this site before. yes, I think what you're doing is fine. I have had to do the same - basically freeze someone out a little who I know I'd end up horribly attracted to if I were allowed to get to know them better (or maybe that's the answer - get to know them and find out you DON'T like them). anyway, what you're doing is fine. Just don't be rude.[/quote]

Agreed. OP  think you are being wise. How many threads about the office AP do we see where it all started as an innocent friendship. You  recognize the danger. As long as you are not rude I think you are okay.

I actually find it's better not to make close friends in the office it's easier to make job relate decisions.[/quote]
