DEFINATELY CONFRONT HER, TELL HER WOT YOU FEEL, IF SHE LAUGHS, JUS SAY YOU WERE JOKING! I'VE DONE IT MANY A TIME! (7 TIMES OUT OF 10 THEY LOVE IT)
PAUL FARMER

I know it's really difficult when you like someone who's with someone else, especially when you have to see them every day! It's ok to fantasise about being with her, but you need to remember that she is dating another guy and (whether he's scary or not) you should respect that. By all means tell her if you want, but you risk scaring her off and making life at work REALLY difficult. Try and get to know her if you like her for more than her hotness and maybe you can be there if she and scary man split up... In the meantime, try to focus your attention on other girls (easier said than done, I know, but give it a go!)
Katiekat

Stop oggling for a start, girls notice things you know!!
Amy

The little angel on my shoulder offers this advice..... If she was harbouring secret feelings for you, it would be unlikely that she would still be being 'cosy' with her boyfriend. If you try and persue this you are likely to be very embarrassed and get a smack in the face. Things at work would be a nightmare, are you willing to risk your job for this? I'd say go out and meet someone else, you never know if she really does like you she might be driven wild with jealousy, thus revealing her true feelings! Win, Win situation.
Rebecca

Bite the bullet and tell her. If she has the same feelings for you as you do for her, she can handle the other bloke for you (well hopefully for your sake!), and if not, then you've just made a complete plonker of yourself, and might want to find another job...
Kenny Smith

Tell her how you feel i kow that you probably think that she will knock you back because of this other guy, but it's worth a try and the worst thing that could happen is that she says no, and you wil feel bad, but if you don't try you'll never know and it will always be on your mind when you see her. Goodluck
Kim Doherty

ask her out for a drink see what happens
shane

Well if she looks happy with the other bloke and she hasnt shown any signs of being interested then i think to save embarassment and tention in the office you should squash your feelings.
Andy Morley

Get Amoungst IT!!! If you dont say anything it'll only do your head in. If she turns you down you can just go back to oggling her!! Sorted
Dave Williams

JUST TELL HER THAT THE OTHER GUY KEEPS COMING ON TO YOU AND MAKE HER PROMISE NOT TO SAY ANYTHING COS HE'LL EAT YOU! THEN WHEN SHE GETS ALL UPSET MAKE A MOVE HEHE!!
JAMIE NOBLE

You'll have to be careful as you dont want to create an atmosphere in the workplace especially with the guy that sits next to you. Ive have been in the same position and can lead to every1 else in the office seeing u as the bad guy. It would probably be best to find someone else as you only knows u as the guy who site next to her boyfriend i dont think it would work
James

Her Boyfriend isn't attractive - no competition for you! You will have to have a scheme so that he gets the sack, then at the office christmas party get her blind drunk and have your wiked way with her.
Carla

Get stuck in mate. If they're not married, then their fair game. All's fair in love and war. Plus you might end up settling for second best...again.
Gooders

That's life im afraid – she is with someone else and until this ends, you will have to keep ogling (discreetly!). Unless of course you think she likes you?!
V

leave well alone mate. i've done similar things in my past and you always end up regretting it.
ben from southport

Send an e-mail from the other guys computer telling her she is dumped. Time to help her wipe her tears.
Mark

If the object of your desire is involved with someone she works with they almost certainly have strong feelings for each other,to spend so much time together both at home and at work signifies commitment alas its not meant to be.
Mr loverman(shabba)

Ask her if she has a twin sister. You don't know until you ask.
Mark

GET ANOTHER GIRL THEN ASK THEN TO GO ON A DOUBLE DAYE THEN SNOG HER FACE OFF DURING THE DOUBLE DATE TO MAKE HER JEALOUS
AUDS

Get over it man! Move on!!
Sarah

Come on to her boyfriend instead, you'll get twice the reaction...
Deborah Challenger

tell her!!!!!!!!!!how u feel!
wee lisa

Tough luck mate! She aint yours! Put yourself in the other guy's position. Anyway if she was interested she wouldn't be dating someone else.
Jo

Unless she's feeling the same way (which i think she sin't considering she's still with the other guy) you should leave it - it will only cause a negative energy between you and if it's a small office everyone will know!!
Lindsay
