To people who hook up with coworkers that they have to see every day: Why? Are you not afraid of the professional consequences? Or is your office pretty lax about this kind of thing?

Do you like him? He's an adult, went to college, got a full time job at a big four firm. I wouldn't worry about it. The manager is the one that should make sure she is complying with HR policies as she's the supervisor in this situation. She should technically remove him from the engagement or stop seeing him outside of work completely.

If it was a one night stand and it is not known to the engagement partner and/or HR there are no official consequences. He might be screwed come review time but that's his problem. Officially, they would be put on separate engagements if it was an ongoing thing due to the bias in evaluation as well as independence issues in the review of deliverables to the client

Noted. HR departments at the big 4 have slanted themselves much like misconduct boards at colleges and universities. A guy, even in a subordinate position, is at a much greater risk of being terminated IMO. And confidentiality won't exist. Everyone will know what went down.

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?
