Do you think it is okay for a married person to arrange to meet a colleague of the opposite sex alone outside work hours?

I don’t know. I am not comfortable with it. I have guy friends “at work” but I would never feel comfortable meeting them say on the weekend for a meal, especially if they are not married or in a relationship.

I wouldn’t mind going for lunch with them during the week every now and again but I just feel extending it to weekends makes it a bit personal.

I just think when you are married you always have to be extra cautious about how you relate to the opposite sex, especially if they are single.

Am I over exaggerating?
