If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Obviously?
Misery loves company, obviously. 
How about 'not interested'?
Or how about 'able to use that gray thing between his ears for more than just keeping the ears apart'?

Probably a golfer. Figuring out a new grip that will fix his slice. Most golfers gave up sex for the game.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Or very smart.
Starting something at work is not a very good idea. How are the chances that she is still so freindly when it ends? Have you ever seen what women like to do to get revenge? Not being interested in the first place and telling her may just be a shortcut to the same results.
If you want to keep your job, it may be better to stay clear of all that and play the idiot who does not get it. It's what I would do.

Most men don't. Most are also capable of logic and acting on it. Until they their little buddy do all the thinking.

Met my wife at work. In 31 more days it's 30 years since we started going out. Already passed 27 years of marriage.

Then you were lucky. Obviously the best result for all, but something I never would bet my rear parts on.

You had one of the happy endings. These days, what with #MeToo and consequent HR policies of "shoot first, and ask questions later", I would be extremely careful before starting any office romance.

Hopefully you still kept the HR memo memento about intra-office relationships?

Despite my previous answer and your sarcastic comment, I have to say I actually agree with you, specially if you are going to work together (IMO working in the same company but different jobs/departments, could still work).

Sometimes a guy bets everything on his lucky number and gets away with it. Most of the time that does not happen. Unromantic little me always lets others try their luck and then pays attention to how things turn out.

Perfect. If it had been me, that would have been the reaction I had hoped for. Lowest potential for serious drama afterwards.

Just oblivious.
Like I was, while a coworker was apparently dropping hints left and right for over a year before she decided to stop with the hinting and just come right out and say she wanted me.
I was like What? Really?

Reminds me of a story I heard form a friend where a friend of his and girlfriend were on a romantic weekend in the Welsh hills.
They were sitting out one evening looking at the sunset over a hill and she says to him, "What are you thinking about?" to which he replies "I am wondering if a well aimed howitzer could blow off the top of that hill"
I guess some men just have different interests to their girlfriends.
