First off, don't get your panties in an uproar. Not all smiles are meant to show interest. It's polite and better than an uncomfortable moment of staring or frowning. 2nd, relationships within the work place are frowned apon so if you are thinking about hooking up do it outside of work. 3rd, statistics show that 75 percent of relationships where both work in the same work place don't last. There's 3 strikes against you already. And 4th, if your hormones still outweigh common sense, discretely ask him, or her , depending on your situation, for a cocktail or coffee after work. This sets the stage for a more relaxed interaction. And NEVER give your number out. If you are the aggressor get their number. Exchanging digits is ok but don't offer yours first. Take it slow and find common interests. Take time getting to know each other. Don't jump right into the sack until you know what you want and who makes you feel good about yourself and comfortable when you are together.
