(NSFW) What are your views on starting something sexual with someone who works across the street from where you work and in a very small town?

If there’s nothing discerning that’s stoppping you, or you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing…I say “do it.”

You should consider what could happen if it all goes wrong. It may be hard to escape the sitaution if he lives right across from you.

What else are you going to do? Might as well. I don’t even see the logic of not doing it because of the work locations.

The key words here are “small town”. Whatever happens will be public knowledge before you know what happened. Hope you can defend your choices.

You’re crazy and not too worried about your job.

Why does the location of your work places matter? If you want to do it, do it.

Let me amend my post. Do what you will. But it will be public knowledge “the next day”. If that is OK, well then, OK. But if there is a potential issue, be careful. I grew up in a small town. Nothing is a secret.

Guess it would give a whole new meaning to a “smoke” break.

Weigh up whether it is likely to just be a bit of an exciting fling and you are worried about gossip. If it is and you aren’t worried, go for it. If it is and you are worried about gossip, don’t.

If you think there is potential for something more meaningful, definitely do it. Imagine years later when you look back on this and think… “I wonder what would have happened if…” and you let people talking or the potential for some awkwardness if it doesn’t work out stop you going after something great.

If you both are single and willing to have the information made public, why not? Although I’m not sure what you mean by “feeling on each other”... developing strong feeling for each other?

I live in a very small town with a main street that is two blocks long. If person A from the bakery and person B from the shoe store fell in love, there would be no issues that I can think of.

If you don’t try it you will never know if something great could have developed. I would just go for it.

Am I missing something? Why would it be a big deal? Are you planning on doing something in your place of work? I don’t see how it would affect your job since who you have sexual relations has no relevance to your professional life (unless it’s someone you work with I guess, or if, as I said, you’re doing it in work), and I don’t see any reason to be ashamed of your own personal sex life.

Go for it. I’m not one to get very hung up on what other people think because the ones who would judge me are the ones that I don’t really want to be around anyway. By judging they save me the trouble of spending a lot of time with them before finding that out.

Have fun :-)

There is no big deal with this. My guess is you are both Adult and it’s not the same company, so have fun.
Yes there may be only a few degrees of seperation in a small town. Again, no big whoop.

I am not looking to start a relationship with him. It would be pretty much hanging out and fooling around. I was curious cause my one friend was very opposed for a reason I couldn’t really figure out. But yes part of me doesn’t need this traveling all up and down the street, but I don’t live around there, only work. And for the most part I keep to myself and dont know anyone in the town.

It really doesn’t sound like a big deal. Maybe people will find out about it, but if it’s a small town, it’s likely that everyone’s love lives are up for gossip. There’s nothing here to create a scandal. You don’t work in the same workplace, and maybe you have some mutual acquaintances. You’re not actually doing anything wrong here.

Would there be a scandal? Is there some reason you don’t want people to know about this? Is one or both of you not single? Do your bosses prohibit relationships where people meet at lunch time? Are you embarrassed to see your potential lover? What the heck is going on? There must be some reason you are asking this question. Why do you think there could be a problem?

@wundayatta I have no problem with it, I was just intrigued by my friend’s resistance to the idea and was curious to know if anyone else saw something bad in it as well. I fully plan on going ahead with it. I don’t really care what others think about me in general and it’s not like I am going to be having sex with him in the middle of the street. But no scandal…we are both single and young and looking to just have fun and are into each other.

“I fully plan on going ahead with it”.
Guess there’s no stopping you is there :)
I wasn’t going to. If you feel that way then go for it. No big deal.

I’d advice against it, certainly in my case…...her daddy’s a butcher! :¬(

@Ponderer983 Not looking to start a relationship…. ohhh the best laid plans… lol

You don’t seem to have anything to lose, go for it.

@tedd He has a kid…that guarantees no relationship for me. I don’t do kids! And no guy is good enough to ever change that! I’m just happy the child doesn’t live with or near him!
