Should I warn him? By HaveADamnNiceDay

Hey guys, I need a little advice. So we have this new young man in the office, just started this week. He's a rather handsome chap, looks like James Franco... In punk clothes ^_^. One girl in my office has the hots for him big time. Aside from the fact he's a little young for her, she already has TWO other boyfriends!!! To top it off, she's admitted to being a willing infidel.
I might just be a little paranoid, he may not even decide he even wants to bother with her, and it's only the first week. I'm hoping she'll just lose interest and leave him alone. I just don't like seeing bad situations that are preventable unfold in front of me. However, it's technically none of my business either. She's told me she likes him, but I want to yell at her and tell her STOP WAIT A SEC! Eat just ONE piece of cake at a time, please! Argh.
I've never been in one of these situations. Advice from anyone who has seen this sort of thing before???

I would leave it alone. My first thought is you don't know the new guy well enough to be offering relationship advice... and secondly, it is never a good idea to gossip about other employees to the new person... (or to anyone in general!). It could come back to bite you... and it is just not worth it.

Hope this helps!

Yeah...I agree. I would just leave it alone too. You might end up looking like you meddled because you wanted him or something or at the very least like you just decided to sabotage it. He'll figure it out, and maybe he might not even mind.

You can't protect people from things like this, they have to learn for themselves. I would however, warn someone if I knew someone was an abuser.

I agree with the others, if you say anything you may get slapped with a slander. Obviously "the kid" is an adult...let him make his own choices.

Now..if he ASKS you anything..fire away!
