Most women try to avoid dating
men that they work with, especially intern type workers like Law students who still have not climbed the ladder. Im
guessing, even if she was attracted to him, she would say no on those grounds. Im also assuming that this law firm
is fairly large? with alot of older experienced male lawyers? Law is a very conservative proffession ( I know, I am
one and been there ), if a male co-worker of hers found out that she was dating /having an affair with a Law
student, my bet would be it would look negatively on her, and not professional on her part. It could create alot of
friction within the firm.
We all know, work life and private life is seperate and one should not discriminate
on the grounds of a liason with a work mate, however the reality is, that work place affairs and relationships often
bring about very complex situations, and its often seen as a negative with boss's and other workers.
My
guess is this girl is just flirting, but she is too smart to take the next step and actually go out this this boy,
maybe she values her career ambitions with the firm more then any attraction she has for him.
By the way,
FTR, its co workers such as yourself that remember every tiny detail in the lives of other co workers and thier
potential developing relationship with others that put these people under the spotlight/microscope at work! Not that
its a bad thing, its just human nature..
