I think its wonderful if you can find that special someone that happens to work with you! I say go for it! what have you to loose as long as you don't make an azz out of your self? And who better to understand the world of UPS than a coworker. Just a bit of advice, Don't get caught with your Diad in the Diad holder on the clock, this is never good!!!

I'll bet a ton of married couples meet at work. That's where we spend how much of our conscious time? And you'll both have a lot in common from the get go. It took my feeder driver two years to get up the 'paper and clipboards' to ask me out. He was terrified. Although his driver friends told me about him for the longest time, I'd rather die a slow, painful death than ask a guy out. But here we are, rattling around 21 years later.

Fire that arrow, Cupid! For all you know, she's fallen like a ton of bricks for you, too! I hope this blossoms into something wonderful!!

And remember, that first date will never be forgotten...

I don't even recommend forming close friendships with co-workers so maybe I am the wrong person to comment on this thread. I just feel when it comes to your job you should minimize relationships that may wind up having a negative effect on your career.

YIKES!

Double Yikes!

LOL, you have to love all of these romantical sayings.

MHO, I'd wait. Now that you know who you like, if you wait, you may see something you like/dislike about them, in their everday self, that may draw you in or push you away. Another thing to think about, is, what happens if she turns you down? Always better to be prepared for the worst.

The love of my life is a fellow UPSer. Hope the wife doesn't find out.

But he can know him, through your memories. My two youngest grandsons never knew my Dad, but if someone mentions Dad's name either or both will tell you something about him as if the did. Sometimes I think they know more about my Dad than they do me. OK, nuff said.

Dude, I am so with KOC on this. You have got to be kidding me that you want to take her for a WALK after work???? We just did a two month pedometer-wearing contest to promote health tracking how far we walked each day. Alot of us walked at least 10 miles a day. Some more, some less.

For God's sake, do not take her for a walk. Take her somewhere to eat, watch a movie, the mall where you can people watch. Good luck.

Little Brown Boy, be careful , your perception of this fellow lady driver might be distorted. It can happen. When you are surrounded primarily by fellow male drivers, any female in that group can seem more attractive than they might in other circumstances. It can sometimes be the equivalent of beer goggles.

The old adage "a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2" comes to mind.

thegiftofflavor · 04-09-2009, 08:31 PM

don't do it man. don't dip your pen in the company ink. i dated a female driver for a while and after i ended it **** got real weird and still hasn't returned to normal a year later. sleep with your customers not other employees!

Is there a difference whether its a fellow driver or a customer? I mean you see both of em everyday so I really dont see the difference

JMHO

I swear I was going to say the exact same thing. My Dad has always preached this to me. But, go with your heart. And be sure.
