probably too soon, depends on the breakup and how it went and your "rebounding" ability.
As far as dating a coworker goes, imo, it depends on the proximity to which you work with her. If you all work together all the time or most of the time, dont do it, it just guts weird and can get bad. If she is in a different department and you rarely have much contact with her, unless you make it a point to see her, then it may be okay, not recommended, but you may be able to make it work. IF you are leaving the job soon, then by all means go for it and then when you switch jobs, it wont be weird

I have to disagree with the other guys here....but there are some things you need to keep in mind:

1) Work relationships are tricky...make sure at work, you are professional....you can behave differently when you go out to lunch & after work.

2) You're on the rebound....don't be surprised if in a few weeks you want to break up

3) Be open to this coworker if you do start dating. "I just broke up with my ex.....no commitment....just want to enjoy eachother's company" etc. etc...

4) Honesty is the best policy...and avoid at all costs any messy breakups. If you two start dating, then later split harshly, it will cause a lot of stress at work. If you're honest with your relationship (if it comes to that) then you can potentially avoid future stress.

5) It's a lot easier if she works in another department....if she's a close coworker, then you're always gonna see her so keep that in mind.

Whatever you decide, just remember to keep it simple & open....I know a lot of people that met through work and have had lasting relationships. Likewise, I know those that have dated coworkers and later split causing alot of unneeded work arguments and animosity. Good luck!

oh....and your Kermit needs to lay off the Viagra! LOL!!

 

[vindication]

1)no! what are you smoking
2)yes, especially if she is higher up than you

 

[AZDriftR]

i say go for it! you just hoped off the relationship train and now you have to board the dating train....JUMP ON AND HOLD ON TIGHT! cuz its going to be a fun ride WOOO WOOOO

 

[Gbourdon]

A) NO
B) NO

Just dont expect it to go anywhere. It will be a hit and run for sure.

 

[Leadfoot]

rebounds definitely will help you move on.....I met my wife after a short relationship....unexpected we'd be where we are, but I couldn't be happier!

im dating a 23 year old from work (i am also 19) and its working out fine. but as said before, be professional in the work place, no touching, gooey eyes etc, and youll be fine

 

[DeanSweet]

a) yes, especially if it is somebody you know...
b) no, bad idea, very bad idea.

be honest with your self
only you can say if it's too soon

make sure you can handle things if you two stay together / but make sure you can handle it if you stop seeing each other also.

it's not easy though - I did it for a few months and it was the other coworkers that made it much harder than it had to be.

don't forget - it's a place of business and if two people there are dating , it's sometimes becomes everyones business
any way good luck - we got you back- and most importantly :

WE NEED TO SEE PICS

 

[ChopstickHero]

A) Yes
B) No

yep

 

[MiaTurbo]

2) depends

 

[EviLMaN]

im in the pizza delivery industry. doesnt really make it to much of a problem

 

[PhreakV]

pizza sluts

one of my friends worked at the Hut for awhile and it was a tangled web of everyone was getting it on with everyone else (lol2)

as far as your questions go:
1) I'd think you might just wanna go out on a date but set it up for next weekend (not this one)
2) dating in the workplace tends to go awry everytime and like someone said; dating at a business becomes everyone's business
