watch out for interoffice relationships! the company i used to work for had rules in place. it was NOT ok for someone in a supervisory position to date someone in a non supervisory position. it was even frowned upon if people were in different departments.

of course, it does happen...and i know of 2 couples who are already married....and one who is about to get engaged. i also know of some couples who have had some less exciting endings. and some who have had explosive endings which caused riffs in the department.

I wouldn't do it - it could very easily lead to trouble.

A company I used to work for had a policy that relationships were ok as long as neither partner was in the other's chain of command. If you were in different departments, or if you were in the same department and at the same rank, that was fine. If that changed (e.g. you were in the same department and one of you was up for a promotion) the couple had to choose which one of them would quit. Just think of the drama that would introduce into a relationship...!

just be careful whatever you decide.

maybe go out in a big group and just become friends. you'll know later on whether the feelings you have are for real and might save some embarrasment and bad feelings
