Oh My, the Mess

I spent my Thursday evening at a VP debate watching party which was hold at Tom's place with about half a dozen people.
Allow me to sum up.
The good:
- Tom is cute, sweet, and sexy.
- Tom has just learned I might be "available".
- Tom was having passionate, involved (mostly political) conversations with me.
The bad:
- Tom is far from perfect, which is fine, but to my eyes, some of what I consider as his imperfections are really problematic ones.
- Tom was somewhat neglecting his girlfriend of a week to hold with me the passionate conversations I was talking about earlier, and damn near to flirt with me. I don't think excessive body contact with her was the best way to make it up to her.
- Tom's new girlfriend is a nice girl (even though she isn't much into politics).
- Tom's ex-girlfriend Nance is someone I am rather fond of.
- Tom and the Fabulous Feline rather like each other.
The ugly:
- Tom and I work in the same lab.
- Tom and I have just started working on a long-time project together and there is absolutely no room to fuck it up with personal drama.

So...
Tom and the Fabulous Feline and you and Nance all get together and have a fantastic time!
Hmmm...
And outside of the friendships sex will rear its ugly head and...
Sigh.
It's not easy, is it?
"And outside of the friendships sex will rear its ugly head and..."
and Tom and I can shrug our shoulders and get to work on this damn project already!
No?
Hmmm, okay, no.
Or maybe we can hook up the Fabulous Feline with Tom's new girlfriend of a week?
Still not?
(Dinners with the four of us together have been known to be pretty merry things, back when Nance was living here with Tom and the Feline and me were a full-time couple. Wouldn't work so well now.)
Messing with coworkers can get sticky.... proceed with caution (which sounds like what you are doing)
