My son looks and is built exactly like my dad and everyone tells him "how his grandpa did this or that". I think sometimes he is just here to keep ane eye on me!lol

Seriously though, LBB, some are saying it's a bad idea. But only you can make that decision. The heart knows. I know this from personal experience. My sweetheart was married when I found him. We are together and have not looked back. The first time I saw him I fell head over heels and he didn't know who I was. We are happy and I love him as much today as the first time I saw him.

Just a few words of sage advice that I would give to anybody...
First, these forums are read by everyone. Even the people you work with. Even in your tiny little center. Stress on that word tiny. Extra stress on that word...tiny...
Second, see point one. Never mention where you are from, especially when talking about love in your center. Your tiny center.
There is nothing wrong with falling for, and dating, one of your coworkers. It happens everywhere and I know of several long term relationships that have developed due to the close working proximity we all have with each other. But remember, your center is...tiny...The last thing you want is to fall flat on your face only to have everyone snickering behind your back because they read some post on the internet.
Third, and this one is important. There is a very significant male to female ratio among UPS drivers and this is no coincidence. It is a physical job, and it takes a special kind of woman to do it. I have great respect for all female drivers, and my next comment bears none of them any ill will. But dude, make sure she isn't playing for the other team...
And I'm not talking about FedEx. |

Something else you might want to think about is obviously she's a hearty Canadian woman, couple that with the fact that she is in very good shape (body by UPS). If you upset her she's liable to put a pretty good whuppin on you. And then you'd have to be all embarrassed in front of your hockey team!

If there is a woman going after me that's taller than me, I'm running like the wind. 6'6" = no bueno.
