I work with a girl who has always had a boyfriend but recently split with the guy. Even when she was dating him she hinted at being interested in me. I never went for it because of her relationship and I was interested in someone else. For about a week now, this girl with has been throwing signals at me like it's her job. I'm still trying to get on my feet from a girl who completely used me. Should I just tell this girl to stop and keep it professional? Or should I see if she just wants to "play" around since I am not looking for something serious with her? Or is it just a not a good idea since we work together and things could go downhill real fast? What do you guys think?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Depends on how closely your jobs are related.
Are you in the same team, same section, same floor?
If you're in a larger organisation and not in the same chain of command, then go for it. Because if you do kick things off and it goes pear-shaped then your boss is not having to arbitrate between two warring team members.
If it's a small team then I'd advise against it, unless you're both very upfront about it just being a bit of fun.

You definitely don't want to get into something emotional with someone you work closely with. FWB may be ok.

I wouldn't put my career at risk. Avoid it and control your tendency.
