Why?

It depends entirely on how important that particular work
environment is to you.  I had a deep romantic interest in
a woman who was a fellow member of an early music consort
I played in some years back, but I ultimately decided not
to be interested (this was not easy) because it seemed
certain to interfere with the ensemble.  I had to weigh
the special feeling I had about the group with the special
feeling about that woman.  First I thought I couldn't win;
then I saw I couldn't lose.  I'm not at all sure I'd do
the same thing in a work situation, nor even if I had that
same decision to make again.
