Dating Someone At Work
30% of people who date people in the office will go on to marry that person. Here is the link: Link
I guess you get to know each other after spending all day together.Would you ever date someone from work?

Nope.
I have a few times.
I did. It’s too risky. There’s too many potential problems. With so many other opportunities, I don’t know why anybody would want to risk so much to play around with a coworker.
Yes but I can be pretty stupid in love.
No.. cause I don’t want to shit in my backyard. If things don’t work out, and we are still co-workers? The nightmare…
Jim and Pam circa 2006 was nice to watch.
No way. I (gladly) married someone in the complete opposite field of work, but even if I hadn’t met him I doubt I would date someone from Best Buy. And mine is a rocket scientist for NASA.
I signed a contract saying I wasn’t allowed to get romantically involved with a work colleague. Boo.
I know I had the serious hots for Nancy at work. I think it’s cause she was such a Mother figure to me and she always got my heart racing besides just by listening to her speak, even when she was angry.
Still, it was only temporary employment and I never saw her after that 3-months time …

I did many years ago and we remain friends today. I introduced him to his wife.
I did once sort of. I think I was 23. She was 17. We worked at a beach resort restaurant. I was an apprentice of the chef. She was a dishwasher and so very cute. Because of inclement weather one night we slept at the chef’s bungalow which was nearby. He and his wife put us in a room that had two beds. I’d been told she had a crush on me. She asked, If we sleep together will you promise not to do anything? I answered yes. She climbed into my bed and fell asleep in my arms. I got up the next morning and she appeared a while later in a beautiful floral dress. We’d never seen her in a dress. She was a bit of a tomboy, wearing jeans and a T all the time. The chef and his wife gasped at how beautiful she looked. I knew she wore that for me. Had I not been such a dunce and shy I would have proposed to her right then and there. I knew I made her feel beautiful which she was. If I had a nickel for every time I should have kicked myself in the ass Bill Gates would be asking me for a loan. But that’s it.
It depends. Right now, I’ll say no because office romance is too risky. 30% blah-blah-blah… If things go south, you’ll have to deal with that person for the duration of your employment… It’s best to keep work and personal life separate.
I did once, and it was a disaster.
No, it causes too much trouble if things did not work out, Whilst on holiday one of the hotel entertainment staff wanted to marry me, a guest marrying a hotel worker, could have got her into trouble.
Depends on the type of business relationship. Unrelated to my work hierarchy, yes.
Considering I’m too busy with work at work to socialize much, no.
Not only did I date someone from work, but we were together and married for 14 years until she died.
The reason for the successful marriage, I believe was the fact that well before we were romantic, we were best friends for over a year. You can really get to know someone after a year.
after 8 hrs I was glad to get away from them and them me.
Never have and never will date someone from work.
Yes I would. But the only disadvantage is that it can get kinda distracting.
Hell no! your statistics say there is a 70% failure rate…and my husband would get mad
Not in a small office but maybe someplace where there were hundreds of employees.
Yes, and we are still together 23 years later.
I think I would have (prior to getting married). Dating for me has never involved much physical contact, so I don’t think I would feel ashamed or weird around the person if things didn’t work out.
Date… That’s the keyword this all of this. I would have to agree to dating at a place of work but it gets awkward when it goes sour. Cause when it goes south, it goes south fast.
No…never…not that I did not try its just that most women that I met in offices were the “career” oriented type of women and I was not their type of man so I never even asked…I like the “tomboy” sort of woman…so I always dated outside of work….But I did a very lovely “Friends With Benefits” situation with a “career” woman once and it lasted for almost two years but even that relationship was outside of the nightclub I worked…so therefore I still never have dated from work. Partly because I always knew there was more to the world than just my small portion of it so I was trying to expand my horizons and keep things interesting by dating people who had a totally different view of the world that what I had. I hope that makes sense.
I hope my fiance who works in hospitals doesn’t find someone new.. He’s got a lot of female nurses and medical assistants and what not all over in his work environment. ;_; I work in a small dental clinic. Sniff sniff.
An old girlfriend wisely said: “you don’t get your meat where you get your bread.”
I dated one I met at work. Married her. Three kids and 18 years later, I realize what a mistake that was. Dang!
i can’t imagine why not…
i have. and never will ever again. i learned the hard way not to shit where you eat. or eat where you shit. both ways work.
I’d consider it.
i did. we’re still together.
Been there done that. It went well until we broke up and then it was
rather awkward. Having to see them/work with them several times a week
made the entire process of moving on more difficult.
I wouldn’t date a coworker, but I might go out someone who came into the studio on occasion provided they weren’t a client.
I developed crushes on my male co workers. But that’s as far as it goes. Just crushing.
No. I can certainly make friends with someone I work with, but to go beyond that would just be weird for me.
Never again
