Default Romantic relationships with coworkers

Hypothetically if one were to find oneself in a Jim and Pam situation, from the perspective of Jim, how should this person proceed

Embrace ambiguity.

I stopped caring about that show when they got together.

Pretty much exactly the same, except there's no warehouse meathead. It's actually rather uncanny. In regards to personality and disposition though it's quite accurate

yeah so the saying goes but that's a rather vulgar metaphor and not entirely appropriate in this context... "shitting" implies a relationship based on boning, typically reserved for bar floozies and okcupid hookups

because you have a lot in common, right?? It seems natural that people with similar interests and personality types would meet doing what they love. Not that I know if you love(d) your job or not

She was the receptionist where I was a security guard. She liked me lots and flirted with me, but I was oblivious because that's how I roll when someone flirts with me. I was with someone but when we broke up, I went to a friend's party which was in the same apt complex as a party that she was at. When I came in the courtyard, she ran over to me and once she found out I just broke up with my ex, she pounced.
We got along actually because we were so different. I was an idiot for a lot of the relationship, though, and well the rest is history and we have a kid and things are pretty great now but netphoria has heard enough of the drama that has happened between us.

so, i dunno. we're different in just about every way

i'm pretty sure you're just supposed to go for it most of the time and it usually ends up terrible but that is what life is all about isn't it
