I have a boyfriend, but at my old job there was a guy I liked hardcore and he liked me back. My boyfriend knew about it haha but I’m just open with him.

I wouldn’t have a problem

I think it’s fine as long as they act professionally in the work place. I’m not saying you have to leave the relationship at the door until you leave, but being overly affectionate and flirtatious in the work place could cause problems.

I dated a guy at my work but he wasn’t in my department and it didn’t cause any work issues. Guess it depends on how closely you work together. If things go south in the relationship, the working relationship could be affected.

Well a guy at work likes me and I am not sure how I feel about that. Especially when I see him (and our fellow co-workers) kind of stalking me.

lol

I started dating a coworker a few years ago and we’re getting married in two months! It’s fine as long as you keep it professional in the workplace.

Ha, I liked a guy I worked with. Slept with him, dated him, married him, now I’m pregnant

But to be fair, once we decided to be serious, we got new jobs at different places. Worked together again later, but when things are new and fun it’s way too tempting to be inappropriate at work!

I met my fiance at work   It was totally not a typical work environment though…it was a factory job and nobody there really acted professionally at all.  Basically I worked with hundreds of guys, and there were only a few cute females under the age of 40, so there was a whola lotta getting eye-fucked and stupid remarks.  But I managed to find the one guy there who was NOT a misogynist douche and didn’t get drunk every night after work, so yay for that!  We felt like 2 of a kind in a sea of miserable drones (it was a really shit job).

I don’t think there’s really anything wrong with dating somebody you work with, as long as you aren’t making out all the time in front of everybody or something like that.  The only thing that could get super-awkward is if you break up and then you still have to see them every day.  Yikes.

Tell her to go for it. My boyfriend and I met at work and we are celebrating our two year anniversary in August. You just have to make sure you are low key at work. No goo goo eyes or hand holding or smooches. Stay professional and it shouldn’t be a big deal.

i tried it once, it was ok, even when we decided to stop dating, it was fine.  you have to be adults about it bc the workplace is a very public place to do anything.  the guy i dated from work, we worked so closely together that it turned into more.  we talked a lot and just flirted a lot and one day he kissed me and i thought it was so brave of him to do that to me.  i dont know if i could it again, bc it’s too public and there’s no one cute at my office, the girls are way cuter and i don’t bend that way.

My current relationship started as a work relationship He was my manager and now we’ve been together for almost 2 years! It’s worked out well for me =D I don’t think there’s any problem with work relationships UNLESS they’re married or in a relationship with a psycho. If they’re married or with a pycho, step away!! 

Just act professionally because you’re working at a job to get paid not to flirt. Though I met my bf at work but we didn’t fully date until a few years later. I’ve been with him for over a year But I knew a few couples that worked together. It works because they know when it’s time to work and play. 

I met Mike at work.  Granted, it was a casual retail setting, but we’re getting married next year!

it depends on the work environment. I work at a corporate setting and I did something that I don’t necessarily regret because I am pretty disciplined in keeping my work & personal life separate from each other but just make sure you know what you’re getting into and how to handle the complications of it, if it ever comes down to it and make sure he knows it too.

I’ve been through the whole mad attraction to a coworker and I was too naive at that time.  I let my feelings disrupt my work and tarnish the floundering attempt at a budding relationship.  Since then, I have taken a very strong stance on not mixing work and dating.  Though, there was this one time when I connected really well with a girl at work who worked in a different department.  We would chat for hours giving me a reason to walk away from my desk and disappear to a different side of the building.  This was purely platonic for 10 months. I then quit that job, but we still kept in contact.  We hung out a few times and then after a splendid evening together as I walked her home and giving a parting hug, I couldn’t let go. It turned into a full-on relationship after that.  Since we didn’t work together anymore, I didn’t need to worry about the relationship affect our work.

I met my boyfriend at work. We’ve been together going on 6 years now!
