| Hey Kowalski, I totally know what you mean.
Im american but live in denmark, here its more or less ok to date coworkers, but there are unwritten social rules. People are far more down to earth and dont suffer from double moralism or OMGIMGONNASUEYOUFORAZILLIONITIS.
Either way, you can game at work in the states. Ive done it, no problem.
1.Weight cost vs benefit. If you love your job and dont want to take a risk, or cant afford to lose it regardless, or feel that the situation could be high risk, then dont game at work. Otherwise, green light means go!
2.Keep it subtly overt, as one of the first posters recommended. Be a rooster to everybody, just be a happy winner, make sure you are garnering comfort with all of your coworkers, make sure you are not building resentment with department heads. This is a good thing to do regardless, it can give you upward momentum when they are discussing promotions in closed rooms. And yes, it will help disguise your targeted flirting.
3.Keep it ABSOLUTELY confidential. Do not brag to anybody, regardless of how awesome you are or how hot she was. The girls will respect this immensely. Your own job will very well depend on it. Even in easy go lucky denmark, if you are shaking the hens and they are all squawking about it, the boss is going to want to let you go in order to induce calm.
4.Never date a girl in your own department. Make sure you have limited professional contact, so that each of you will have breathing room when it eventually turns south. Very few office romances end up as long term relationships.
5.Keep your mind on work at work. Dont fuck her in the office. Dont waste time on her when you have a job to do.
Follow those five rules, and you should be pretty golden. Good luck.
PS: If you have a McJob, then by all means fuck every girl you can who doesn't look like she actually eats the food, and in the mean time start looking for a real job.
