Is it wrong for a single woman & a married man to email each other at work?

Question

Is it wrong if there is every day emailing occurring between a married man & a single female coworker if the emails aren't to do with work, if they're mainly about current events, if there is innocent joking around at times and if there is a somewhat obvious attraction between the two? These two only email each other and he previously asked the woman to lunch twice with coworkers but she refused. This happened a long time ago.

Answer 1

If they are like minded, may be there is no problem.They can share the feelings, educate each other, share the troubles that one may face in his/her life and help each other in leading a comfortable life.

There should not be any sort of misunderstanding in the mind of his wife about , specially of emotional blackmailng!

Answer 2

nothing wrong

Answer 3

Since there attraction between the two..I feel it's "playing with fire"....Although the act  (emails may be harmless) but what is the intent/motive behind the communication.  In my opinion being a single one must  be careful in dealing with married men (I would think of it from this standpoint...would the single woman approve if it were her husband?..and would the married man "still" email/inquire about grabbing lunch if his wife were present?)..If the answer is NO to either one..I would keep it professional  

Answer 4

I see nothing wrong with it. Though the wife may not like it. ;) As long as they aren't going past the line with anything, why not have good conversation. It could boost their moods. And give them something to look forward to at work.
