... at a coffee shop table in front of what seems to be two young colleagues (both in company outfit and with luggage and laptop bags), one girl and one guy, sitting in front of each other. They are small talking together while the guy is actually only hardly listening, because absorbed by surfing the web on his laptop. It has been more than half an hour now, and the girl has been looking at that guy (and doing nothing else the whole time) like any guy would like a girl to look at him, with what I would call obvious signs of interests. And needless to say, the guy is completely not noticing this.

Oh, good to know that. Thanks.

There is a difference between not betting against something and saying it is something.
But I forgot the joke icon, so I accept my partial error

I was also joking. It takes a little more to offend me. But I love it when extremely politically correct people start begging for forgiveness.

Then sit and wait, I would even recommend you to have a beer... since it can last a bit until I beg your forgiveness

It would probably have worked better if I had not told you that.

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.
