How do I play this?

[The LadyKiller]

Met up with some friends at a bar we frequent over the weekend. At one point, I was introduced to a HB7.5 who knew one of my friends. From what I could tell, said friend was trying to get with her, so I didn't protrude. However, when we all went back to our friends' house to hang out, she was all over me. Nothing happened, but she was all over me - kino, initiating goofy interactions - in short, there were plenty of IOI's.

Because of my friend unsuccessfully trying to hit on her and a lot of people in close quarters, there wasn't much I could really do - including swap numbers or get her last name (for any sort of contact). A couple of my friends who know her weren't exactly helpful the next day (they don't like to get "involved."). Fortunately, I was able to stumble across her name and therefore have a way to contact her. But should I, and how would I do it? She would certainly be receptive, but I don't think, "We work for the same corporation and your name came up in the e-mail list" is going to suffice as an answer. We work at different locations, so I don't work with her, technically.

I wouldn't ask HB7.5 out right away or do anything of the sort, but would try to pick up where we left off and invite her out one weekend night and see where it goes. My friend isn't into any one girl and would have no issues with this - it just would have been uncomfortable if I tried to c*ckblock him that night.

"We work for the same corporation and your name came up in the e-mail list" is going to suffice as an answer. We work at different locations, so I don't work with her, technically.

But you work for the same company, so it's a no go.

I wouldn't ask HB7.5

7.5's aren't hot babes.

Probably should clarify a couple of things:
- Rex is usually right (I've seen it go down at smaller-sized jobs), however where I work people dating is surprising common. I work in headquarters, so a couple hundred twenty-somethings in a quiet location are going to match up. Two of my closest friends are dating HBs from within. Only rule our company has is you can't date someone in your same department.
- Alphas I would certainly check with my friend before making a move. He's not in my closest group of buds, but I see him often enough. There's no crime in simply talking.

If you work for the same corporation why make the move?

Why risk a possible job and/or friendship for some broad you just met?

If she was into you like you said she was and you work for thr same company, let her find you.

Appreciate being made aware of workplace dating endlessly like always on the board (it's a risk, yes, but something many in our company have been ok with given the circumstances). But please post advice on the situation instead of your own personal stance on workplace dating, which honestly isn't really contributing. I can click on any thread and see the same rhetoric that has overtaken the forum.

OP- Your options are that few that you need to date people at work?

No- Then dont date her.

Yes- Work on sorting this.

Simple really. This is a no go.

Why do people think it's ok to date colleagues- SO STUPID. It NEVER works out.
