The harder part is trying to get from A to B – how does a girl go from just another office colleague to someone he falls in love with? It’s not always easy, and there’s always the risk of getting into trouble with the boss! In some places, falling in love with your co-worker is a serious no-no!
However, if you feel that pull of attraction, who are you to resist it? After all, this may be your soulmate! And who can pass up the chance of that?
Your Scorpio crush won’t be too hard to seduce – he has a natural ability to pick up when there’s love or lust brewing. However, he will love to play the game, so be prepared to set yourself up for a long period of cat-and-mouse!
Here are seven ways to go from colleagues to lovers, gathered in my years of experience as a Relationship Astrologer:
In my years as a Relationship Astrologer, I have walked hundreds of women through this exact situation, and I can tell you that an office romance with a Scorpio man follows a pattern unlike any other sign. In a survey of more than 3,600 women involved with Scorpio men, “it’s complicated” was the single most common way they described their situation, more than for any other sign in the zodiac. A workplace crush only raises the stakes, because now there is a job, a reputation, and daily proximity wrapped around your feelings for him.
The good news is that this same intensity is exactly what you can use to your advantage. Once you understand how his Mars-ruled mind reads attraction, the path from desk neighbor to something far more intimate becomes much clearer. If you want the complete roadmap for getting inside a Scorpio man’s heart and keeping him there, my Scorpio Man Secrets program lays out every step.
7 Ways To Go From Co-Workers To Lovers With A Scorpio Man
1. Wear Something Seriously Seductive
Scorpio is a sign ruled by the planet Mars, which means that they are fueled by lust and desire. Perhaps more than other men, Scorpios are the type to pick up on visual cues.
A simple way you can start going from co-workers to lovers, is to wear something sexy and unique as often as you can. Standing out from the usual crowd will definitely have him sit up and take notice of you. Do you have to show much skin? Not at all – Scorpio loves a bit of mystery, a hint and a tease.
His top choices would be a sheer black blouse, a well-tailored red dress and a splash of bright lipstick. Smokey eyes, a killer pair of heels and a well-cut suit also make him each at the knees. Of course, you don’t have to go all out every day, but do something small every day that makes you look great! And don’t forget the sexy perfume, either.
2. Play Subtle Games With Him
Let me share a secret with you – Scorpio men, as much as they are driven by lust, love it when you play games. They are master at the love and seduction game, and they enjoy playing the part of both predator and prey.
Your games may be verbal – an easy way to get going – or you could be more suggestive and leave clues lying around for him at the office, such as a mug with lipstick around it. You may think he doesn’t notice, but he really, really does.
He will, of course, engage right back with you, which can make things all the more fun!
3. Share Secrets With Him
Want to really get with a Scorpio man? Share a few secrets with him. Of course, they don’t have to be your deepest and darkest. It may be something as simple as an office drama that only you are privy to. If it doesn’t risk anyone being hurt or affected, go ahead and tell him all of it.
A Scorpio man adores a good secret, and it will create an intimate bond between the two of you that brings you that much close to achieving your goal of co-worker to lover!
4. Climb The Career Ladder
A woman who is ambitious, driven and successful will make any Scorpio man completely weak at the knees for her. He loves a woman who holds and handles her own power in the very best of ways.
Don’t play small for anyone – dare to step into that promotion, raise your voice in meetings and take control of a project.
As long as you’re not stepping on his toes (and trust me, you don’t want to do that!), he will stand back and admire you from afar. This is one sure way to stoke his fire and get him wanting to get to know you a bit better.
5. Let Him Take The Lead
Scorpio men like to be the boss. And, as much as they can, sometimes also enjoy being the predator in the game of flirting.
So, ladies – drop the hints, the clues and wear the outfits. Make suggestions, but be subtle. Allow him to know that he’s in the lead, that he can take charge of where this flirtation is going. This boosts his masculine energy and helps him to feel in control, which he loves!
6. Praise His Efforts At Work
An easy way to go from co-workers to lovers in this connection is to continually make him feel like he’s doing an outstanding job in the workplace. When a project he was on is completed, or in progress, recognize him. You don’t have to lay it on too thick – that’s not subtle. But you can make him feel really, really good!
Most Scorpio men like to feel like they are the best at everything, and when he’s in the driver’s seat and in control, he feels validated. And you can be the one to give him that!

7. Compete With Him – Gently.
Another thing about being ruled by Mars, the planet of War, is that men ruled by this planet tend to be very competitive! They like to be the best, but there’s no point when there’s no one to compete with!
He’ll be way more attracted to someone who pushes him a little, who competes with him and stokes that fire. Of course, you don’t always have to let him win either. He won’t mind if you win, sometimes. It’ll just make him want you all the more. A true Scorpio loves a sexy and empowered female, someone who can push him to be even better than he is!
You can also apply subtlety when you compete with him – you don’t need to challenge him overtly. Remember, this is a man who likes it when things aren’t too obvious. He’s perceptive enough to know when you’re competing, trust me!
Why a Scorpio Man Falls Slowest, Then Hardest, for a Woman He Works Beside
A Scorpio man does not rush love, even when the chemistry is obvious to everyone around you. Ruled by Mars and Pluto, he treats attraction the way he treats everything that matters to him, with caution, observation, and a quiet need to be certain before he commits. At work, this caution is doubled. He is watching how you handle pressure, how you treat people who cannot do anything for you, and whether your warmth toward him is real or just office friendliness.
This is why a Scorpio coworker can seem to ignore you for weeks, then suddenly turn the full force of his attention on you. In our survey, 27 percent of women said their relationship with a Scorpio man moved quickly, the highest “quickly” figure of any sign, while a nearly equal share said it stalled completely. Scorpio relationships rarely sit in the middle. With a coworker, the slow phase is him gathering proof. Once he decides you are worth the risk, the shift is dramatic, and the same man who barely glanced your way becomes intensely, almost possessively focused on you.
The Warning Sign That Makes a Scorpio Coworker Shut the Door for Good
There is one mistake that ends a Scorpio office romance before it begins, and it is the very thing the workplace tempts you to do. Gossip. A Scorpio man guards his privacy like a vault, and he is always studying who can be trusted with sensitive information. If he sees you sharing other people’s secrets in the break room, repeating something a colleague told you in confidence, or stirring drama for entertainment, he will quietly file you under “not safe,” and no amount of seductive dressing will undo it.
The same goes for being too obvious too soon. Scorpio loves the chase and the slow reveal, so a woman who broadcasts her feelings to the whole office, or who pressures him for a reaction in front of others, robs him of the mystery he craves. Keep what is building between you discreet and contained. Let him feel that he is one of very few people who get to see the real you. Protect his trust and his privacy, and you become the rare woman his Pluto-ruled heart actually opens to.
How to Tell If Your Scorpio Coworker Already Wants You
Before you make a single move, it helps to read the signs he is already giving you, because a Scorpio man rarely says what he feels out loud. The clearest signal is his attention. A Scorpio man who is interested will remember the small things you mention in passing, a coffee order, a comment about your weekend, a worry you voiced once and forgot. When he brings these back days later, he is showing you he has been paying closer attention than anyone else in the building.
Watch his eyes, too. Scorpio is famous for intense, lingering eye contact, and at work he will hold your gaze a beat longer than is strictly professional, then look away when you catch him. He will also find quiet reasons to be near you, volunteering for the project that puts you on the same team, appearing at your desk with a question he could have emailed, or staying late on the evenings he knows you are still there.
The final tell is the test. A Scorpio man probes the people he is drawn to. He might make a slightly provocative comment to see how you react, withdraw for a day to watch whether you chase, or share a small secret to see whether you keep it. If you notice these patterns, he is not being cold or random. He is deciding whether you are worth the leap, and how you respond is your chance to show him you are.
What to Do When the Office Romance With a Scorpio Man Gets Complicated
Even when everything is going well, a workplace romance with a Scorpio man carries a weight that a normal flirtation does not. There is the boss to consider, the colleagues who notice everything, and the simple fact that you cannot walk away from him at the end of a bad day. Because nearly a quarter of the women in our survey described their Scorpio situation as complicated, you are far from alone if you feel the pressure of it.
The way through is discretion paired with patience. Decide early, ideally together, what stays private and what does not, because nothing unsettles a Scorpio man faster than feeling exposed. Keep your professional life truly professional during work hours, and let the real connection breathe outside the office where neither of you is performing for an audience. If the company has rules about colleagues dating, talk about them openly rather than pretending they do not exist. A Scorpio man respects a woman who can hold a secret and handle a complication without panic, and that steadiness will pull him closer than any office flirtation ever could. If you want the deeper psychology of what makes him commit once the spark is lit, my Scorpio Man Secrets guide walks you through it in full.
Frequently Asked Questions About Going From Co-Workers to Lovers With a Scorpio Man
Do Scorpio men date their co-workers?
Yes, and often more readily than you might expect, because the workplace gives a Scorpio man exactly the conditions he needs to fall in love. He gets to observe you over time, watch how you handle stress and success, and build the slow certainty his cautious heart requires before he risks anything real. Proximity is a powerful force for a sign that trusts almost no one quickly.
That said, he will weigh the risk carefully. A Scorpio man is keenly aware of his reputation and his privacy, so if dating a colleague could expose him to gossip or jeopardize his standing, he will move with extreme discretion. He is not avoiding you. He is protecting something he has decided is worth protecting.
The key is to let the connection grow without forcing it into the open. Give him the private, trusted space he needs, and a Scorpio coworker can become one of the most devoted partners you will ever have.
How do you know if a Scorpio man likes you at work?
The biggest sign is the quality of his attention. A Scorpio man who likes you remembers details no one else would, holds eye contact longer than feels casual, and finds small, repeated reasons to be near you. He may seem reserved on the surface, but his focus on you will be unmistakable once you start watching for it.
He will also begin to confide in you in small ways, sharing an opinion he keeps from others or letting you see a flash of the private man behind the professional mask. For a Scorpio, sharing anything personal is a deliberate act of trust, not small talk.
Finally, notice whether he tests you, with a teasing remark, a brief withdrawal, or a confidence he asks you to keep. These probes are how a Scorpio man checks whether you are safe to want. When you pass them with warmth and discretion, he draws closer.
Should you make the first move on a Scorpio man at work, or wait for him to lead?
The most effective approach is to open the door and let him walk through it. A Scorpio man loves to feel like the pursuer, so dropping clear but subtle signals, an outfit that catches his eye, a lingering look, a comment that hints at more, gives him the invitation he needs while leaving him in the driver’s seat.
What you want to avoid is a loud, public declaration that strips away the mystery and puts him on the spot in front of colleagues. That kind of pressure can make a private Scorpio retreat fast. Subtle and suggestive will always serve you better than direct and dramatic with this sign.
Think of it as setting a trail he chooses to follow. You make your interest unmistakable in quiet ways, then let his Mars-driven instinct to chase do the rest.
How long does it take a Scorpio man to fall for a co-worker?
There is no fixed timeline, because a Scorpio man falls on his own terms, but the workplace tends to speed up his process rather than slow it down. The daily proximity lets him gather the evidence he needs faster than he could through occasional dates, so the watching phase, which can feel frustratingly long, often gives way to sudden, intense interest.
In our survey, Scorpio relationships were the most likely of any sign to move quickly once they moved at all, with 27 percent of women describing a fast pace. The flip side is that some stall entirely while he decides. With a coworker, the deciding factor is trust. The moment he is convinced you can hold his secrets and handle his intensity, the shift can happen almost overnight.
Your job in the meantime is not to rush him but to keep showing him, consistently, that you are the rare woman who is both magnetic and safe. That combination is what finally tips a Scorpio man from watching to wanting.
