I agree that it depends on the workplace. For example, my boyfriend and I worked together before we started dating. However, we were bartenders and servers at a restaurant. While we worked together majority of the time, we were both focused on making money and taking care of our customers. We really didn't spend "couple time" at work.

I don't think a relationship would work out too well if you were in a corporate setting where one person was the other's boss or something along the lines of that. Hey, it might work, but I know I'd have a problem with my SO telling me what to do all day at work. And then add the fact that you'd have to see him/her later on that day! That's just too much for me.

But I did meet the love of my life at work, so I guess you never know!

the first time i dated a co worker, it got ugly. the second time, it went bad. the third time was the charm. cause after two and a half years, we are still madly in love. :D

I'm questioning this at the moment. I have been working at a country club for a year and a half, and this guy I work with has liked me for a while. We're pretty good friends, so there's also that added wierdness of going from friends to a dating relationship. He has been together with other girls that don't work directly with us, but work at the country club, and both situations did not work out. They were the source of a lot of gossip though, and I'm not down with that. Everyone at work always asks when we are going to go out, I hate them being in my business. I don't know what to do because last night he pretty much confessed his feelings for me, and he was drunk so I told him we would talk about it today. :confused: What do I do?

Just talk to him and see what he has to say while sober :)

I would seduce him immediately. Why wait? Don't think too much it kills relationships.

After thinking about it fairly long and hard, (we still haven't talked about the events that ocurred this weekend), I've come to the conclusion that I really truly don't like him in that way, and like him much better as a friend. I can't see myself dating him, we don't have much in common outside of work. Plus I am really turned off by the fact that one of these girls from work that he slept with ended up pregnant, but supposedly it was by another one of her f@#$ buddies. I'll believe it when I see the DNA test! He acts ridiculous while drinking and I can't deal with someone who can't control themselves when they go out. And on a final, extremely shallow note, he is a bad dresser. I know that's really mean, and clothes should not matter, but you cannot make it through life wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sneakers ALL THE TIME!
