I've tried this once. My boyfriend/co-worker was in a different dept. than myself, so I didn't see him that often during work hours. Our company allows dating in the workplace. When my supervisor found out that I was dating this guy, she quietly pulled me to the side, smiled and said, "It's ok, but don't show any public displays of affection!" To make a LONG story short, our relationship ended in a not too good situation, and we don't speak at all! But, it's all good, because we actually didn't get that serious. I WILL definitely think twice about dating a co worker in the future!

it's too little too late to suggest that anyone "try to keep it professional" or "take the high road" if they've already involved themselves in an office romance. there's nothing professional about it and there's no high road they're taking getting involved in one. get real.

I have experience a bad relationship breakup at work, my manager pull me aside, as it was effecting other staff. My solution was, I would resign, which they did not accept, as it had happen before with the same person. She was transferred to another branch.

Office is not for romance or date, thats a place from where you earn and run your familys. so respect the place. 2ndly you have enough time to have a date outside from the office and even you can take one day off.... cheers

tried, tested and proven. i met my sweetie at work, and it was made public when he promoted to my boss. everything was great, except when it came to asking for time off at the same time, and the company wasn't too sure about it. I ended up leaving the company for that reason

however we're still together, and found that working 24 hours a day together was great for our relationship, we are very compatible and still together now

Been there done that. My wife and I met each other years ago and worked in the same department. We did get busted by the boss but he was cool. We're still married and expecting our 3rd child soon.
