What Kind Of Relationship Do You Have With Your Co-Workers?

Do you only communicate with them about work related issues?
Do you hang out with them every once in awhile, outside of work, as in maybe going have a drink or two after work sometimes?
Are you really close to them?
Is there an "appropriate" relationship to have with co-workers?

We occasionally go for a drink after work. Been deep sea fishing and bow fishing with some of the higher ups several times.
I like most of them but I wouldn't say that we are friends.

I talk to them casually like a normal person but at the end of the day we are ready to part ways.
Work sponsored happy hours I try to attend

If I see them in public, I try to avoid.

All depends. In the past, I’ve had some become great friends (in and outside of work), others good friends at work, but never really hang outside of the office.
I’ve always tried to make friends with the folks I work with due to the simple fact that in all reality you spend more time with them than your family. I’d rather it be “fun” than be a stuck up a-hole.
I’m in a supervisory role now, and I am friendly to my subordinates, but I wouldn’t say we are “friends”. I guess it all about balance.

I did this once to an ex-coworker.

I try to keep it professional, but all the women in the office want to talk about is their pubes...

I have always been friends with my bosses, more than coworkers. I live in FL because my old boss wanted us to move in to a beach house together (she is female). I got the job and she didn't. 
My current boss and I have more fun discussing non-work related topics, and I can reach out to him at night or on the weekends about things we find funny. My employees, I only see socially at work functions. I am social friends with people outside of my department.

I talk to them regarding work and try to play nice, but some of them are some backstabbing sombitches so im also very careful

One is one of my best friends. My wife and his wife are close also...how we met.
I have 3 or 4 people i can text or have a fri or sat beer with
And then I just have a few who complain. And my workplace is chill and easy. But if everyone is positive, then no one would complain...and that's just not possible. I work with some major 1st world problem fools.

Do you ever worry that being too close to him could hurt you in some way? I've seen it happen before. I worked with this guy who became good friends with this girl in another department. They would always joke around, etc. They didn't have a physical relationship, just good friends, but he did something to piss her off and she completely fricked him. There was a girl who worked in her department who use to strip, and she (the stripper girl) sent him a picture of her, when she use to strip, on stage with her top off.
After he pissed the girl off he was friends with, she knew he had the picture in his email so she went report him to HR saying he had inappropriate material on his work computer. Come to find out, he had more than just that picture (as in material considered porn) and he got fired.
The girl was fired a few weeks later, not sure why, but I think after that went down they were looking for a reason to fire her, but that situation always makes me think. How careful do you have to be? Of course, the girl sent the picture to his work email which was stupid, but I don't like to talk about co-workers to other co-workers, because you never know who else they are close to.
