Let me add...

I got so many booty calls from too many current and former coworkers this month. We are all so stressed with no outlet. And, I know my current boss wants to, if we were not under "do not touch orders." Again, not trolling. This is my life.

Hot. Would you marry me?

She is worried her BF is spending more time with the reporter than her, which I suppose is true since they work together all day. The opportunity is certainly there. And he's known and worked with the woman much longer than he's dated her, so they're already very close.

On the other hand, I think the reporter would have higher standards, and could do better than a cameraman. But I don't know, that's just a guess.

Your "friend" has nothing to worry about, if the dynamic is anything like what I see here and amongst other colleagues.

Don't get me wrong; my cameraman does have a crush on me. It's really cute. He has a sweet wife who just never lost the baby weight from DC1 before she got pregnant with DC2. You know how it is if you're not disciplined.

But there's no chance anything can happen because I can do so much better. I'm guessing the same is true for your friend's boyfriend's reporter. We get offers from doctors, executives, and (in major league markets) pro athletes. Not to FWBs and flings with personal trainers, maybe hot firemen, and the like. It's fun to tease my cameraman but I'm not going to hook up with him. There's a HUGE difference.

Wow. This may be the most condescending post I've ever seen on DCUM, and that's saying something!

I am not one to kiss and tell (ok I am), but we went beyond platonic. We had a lot in common (professionally). I met her after she interviewed me after a national disaster that related to my field of study.

I can not say if she would or would not date a camera man, but she did cheat on her fiancé with a grad student. (I really liked her and would have liked to have a real relationship). FWIW, she ended up on the Weather Channel.

How did you go from being interviewed to being in an affair?
