So there is this hot chick at the office I am pretty certain that I can score with her we have been flirting lately and tonight is the end of year shinding I think something may go down. Problem is she is a direct surbodinate. My heart says no Willy has other ideas

Dont listen to your Willy! He has alterior motives. Going to create a shit load of problems for yourself if you do.

Red and blue flashing lights, sirens, klaxons!

Nope not now not never no way no how don't do it.

STEP AWAY FROM THE LADY!

You will not stay together you will split and when that happens it is unlikely to be in the reasonable "we are still friends and capable of maintaining a professional relationship" kind of way.

This is your source of income in life. Screw with that and by default you screw with everything in your life. Money is not everything in and of itself, it is simply the pathway you walk in order to get what you need and want.

What you need and want is outside of the office in my humble opinion Sir.

On the contrary, go ahead and enjoy, you will certanily be devastated if someone else scores with her. Deal with the invoice when it comes!

Le roux thanks that is deep. I have been severely tested by this chick she has basically thrown these hints that it can go down. She introduced me to one of her friends with whom I exchanged numbers but I could see she was not cool with that.

I see "Seankhugate" making news on the staffroom memo board.

Maybe I should surreptitiously pursue her friend she is equally hot

I say go for it. Life is short. Please let us know how things turned out...

Truth is Willy wants to but am afraid of this going south especially given that she is a direct subordinate

It never ends well, I speak from first hand experience. Fortunately I caught a very lucky break after being headhunted by a company I used to do business with. I took the opportunity by the balls no questions asked.
