I never mix business with pleasure, not a good idea. Someone will always get hurt and eventually fired. In today's corporate America, some business have stipulated in the contract (in management at least) that if there is a relationship brewing that one will be reassigned or one should change jobs. I agree to a point, this is unproductive to the rest of the office and probably wastes 2 hours a day of work time. Same as people who take smoke breaks. I would not tolerate that. Sorry, but you have one break and lunch. Not 15 min. for a smoke break every hour. That's 2 hours a day a company is paying you to work and (at least in Florida) you are being non-productive.

I can truely say that I am a victim of this situation. I have this co-worker that I dated for about two months. We were good friends at one point and now it is very hard to get back to being friends because we crossed that line. Is there any advice that you can give me. Should we continue to be friends or is this situation where you have to take it is as a loss?

Never in a million years. I don't get paid enough to mix business with pleasure. Besides, the monstrosities that I work with make the sleestacks from Land of the Lost look like stud muffins.

I do agree that it's not a good idea to date in the work place. I mean, you could get into a relationship with a married co-worker, or someone that could cause you to loose your job. Lets face it, a date is not worth the lose of a job.

IMO, dating someone you work with is always a bad idea. If things don't work out, it's the most awkward, uncomfortable situation in the world, to have to continue dealing with that person every day afterwards. Don't-Don't-Don't do it under any circumstances, but most especially if you like your job/employer and want to stay working there. I can't imagine that anyone who's ever worked in an office environment would think this is a good idea!

I dated someone from work (not to get a promotion!) & it was ackward when it ended. Luckily the division I work in is huge & we're in separate units so I rarely see him. Plus, not many ppl knew nor are either of us inclined to talk trash about the other. If you're the kind of person who always stays friends w/ those you've dated, you can probably handle an office romance. I'm not! I decided to take the risk anyway and I don't regret it. But I'm not likely to do it again.

I don't think we get to chose where we meet someone we are attracted to. If the choice were out there, I don't think the workplace would be on the top of the list, but love is love and it will win out in the end.

I agree. If you have to have an office romance, then use some discretion. No, use lots of discretion. There's nothing worse than watching two office bores slobbering over each other. Nobody cares that you're into one another. Do us all a favor and keep it behind closed doors.
