That's me rationalising it but pretty sure I could have escalated okay if we were alone, or at least not in front of our colleagues. The other thing is she has some history with a guy in the office and they seem to have an on / off relationship. The guy used to be my boss. I imagine it getting akward.

You could be right that she just is hot for me. Anytime I spoke to her during the night her response was laden with sexual innuendo. e.g. I said something innocent like: "I shouldn't be doing this tonight I've got meetings in the morning and she answered, very sultry like with a horny grin:" I know what we should be doing tonight".

I think it was half in half, the co-worker thing and convenient excuse to cop out. I've probably blown it that time. I should have been getting laid last night shouldn't I.
