As you spend probably more time at your workplace than at anywhere else, there is good possibility you will find your partner at your workplace. Flirting with colleagues is a delicate issue. Companies are trying to intervene, because they are scared of what will happen if the romance will fail. You may think you're being discreet, but you can be sure that sooner or later your employer will find out.

There is one more issue: the possibility to be sued with the charge of sexual harassment. So if you don't have the other's clear approval, forget about flirting, as you can be fired in a minute if it happens to do unwelcome and uninvited physical, verbal, or visual behavior that is of sexual in nature.

You must know that if you are charged with sexual harassment, it doesn't matter what was your intention. The only thing is taken into consideration is how your colleague interpreted the action. Sexual harassment can limit your career, as a conviction will put you on the top of the reject pile at a short-listing process.

If you considered all these things and decided you still want to move forward, then you must prepare to build up your flirting strategy differently then you would be flirting in a bar. As nothing goes unnoticed at your workplace, you can have two approaches: being usually friendly and letting people know you're available. You even can combine those two approaches.

Being friendly is a great strategy that works for every aspect of your life. The key to appear friendlier is smiling and making more eye contact. This will make people mirror your actions: as they think you like them, they will like you. Adopting a friendly approach attracts flirting occasions, and makes picking up friends easier.

As your flirting evolves, you will consider taking flirting outside work. One of the reasons for this is that flirting at your work is very limited, as the office is not the place for sexual gesturing. You may also not feel comfortable the interest of your colleagues.

So you can ask your partner out for a date, or if you feel you are not ready for that, you may try to continue courting at a more appropriate place, as company party and other informal events. If there is no event coming up anytime soon, you can propose an event yourself.
