I think that this board has a wealth of good information and as it would have been difficult to ask a coworker without someone figuring out who I meant this provided a confidential sorce of advice. My personal life is seperate and as long as it doesn't conflict with work then no problem.

This is an incredible response.
For the record, I'm not judging any eventual decision you might make to bag this girl. I'd do the same meself. But at least I would NOT have any doubt that what I'd be doing would be wrong from a professional standpoint. I just wouldn't give a shit.
But you, if I understand you, are telling me that,
A. Part of your job requires you to be the "source of ethics" in the work place.
B. You're not sure if sleeping with this woman would constitute a breach of ethics.
C. In your estimation, if you did sleep with her, that's your personal life and has nothing to do with work.
D. It doesn't worry you at all that you feel it necessary to get opinions on professional conduct from a chat board - WHEN IT'S YOUR JOB to be expert on the issue.
I'm sorry my friend, but if these points are an accurate summary of the situation - you're professionally incompetent.
Just as a judge or police officer would be held to a higher standard of conduct when it comes to being law abiding, your employer would expect you to meet a higher standard of ethical behaviour in the work place as an example to the others.
This woman is professionally associated with your firm. It's impossible for you to fuck her and NOT have that affect your professional relationship.
As far as eliciting opinions here, there's nothing wrong with it if you're just whiling your time away, but if you truly need feedback from us on what you are getting paid to know, then as I said - you're incompetent. That's like having a mechanic log in and ask if any of us know how to tune up a 98 Chevy.
