Co-worker closeness

Co-worker closeness

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

If your partner’s co-worker, of the opposite sex, offers to take him/her to and from work, picking them up at home and dropping them off, and also buying them dinner and/or lunch on a regular basis, would you consider this as crossing the line?

Courtney, 28:

It depends on the relationship they both have. What if they have been friends for a long time?

Michelle, 36:

She would be crossing the line if it gets to the point where she is buying him dinner and lunch. Why does she have to pick him up at home? Usually when people get a lift to work they meet the drive out on the road. Some women are as sly as a fox when it comes to stealing another woman’s man. So as simple as it may seem, she is up to something.

Ramon, 29:

I would have a problem with it, so I would find a way to get a drive with her in the mornings. I’m pretty sure that after a few drives with me in the car, he won’t bother to offer her a drive again.

Sandra, 34:

If she is a good work colleague then I’d be fine with it. If she is someone I also know, then I’d be good with it. People give their co-workers drives to and from work all the time.

Delvin, 27:

Drive plus food, this man is crossing the line. As a man I can tell you that no man is going to go out of his way to pick up a woman at her house and buy her food if he doesn’t have an interest in her.
