No pooping on your own doorstep

...and yes I did when I was younger.

Not recommended unless you work in different departments. even then, avoid.

I have, it worked for me but then I am the type once it's over, it's over. I don't dwell on it or hold bad feelings. I am actually still friends with everyone I have ever dated. One of them is one of my very best friends and not awkward at all.

Yes I did.... He was a "liar" I mean lawyer.

Needless to say it didn't work out but I learned some awesome lessons and I met the love of my life during that time. I wasn't looking (I was in a committed relationship, or so I thought) but he became a great friend and NOW we are building a life together.

My advise DON'T DO IT! Oh yes... I still work with "him"

I did. It didn't work out. I was really young then and it is for sure not a good idea.

striderb

Yes - I dated the group secretary (as they called them back then) and married her 37+ years ago.

Alluminati

I did. We are married now.

My first husband I worked with not for long though but we ended up divorced and my current husband we worked at the same firm. We've been married for 11 years. I quit working there after we got married and then he changed firms anyway but worked fine

I did. One relationship sorta worked. We worked together..well directly and we had to come to work and act like we didn't just wake up together which was weird lol. It was also kinda hot being in on a secret that no one else knew. He was sorta my boss...not technically because he could not hire or fire me he supervised me..indirectly I guess. I promised to never make it a big issue since technically I think he wasn't supposed to date me. We are still friends to this day. He's a bit of a womanizer thou lol. The other guy I dated from work. Total psycho! He worked a different shift than me as soon as we started dating he tried to switch his shift to mine! My partner is a man...I work in corrections (male dominated). So he swears I'm dating that guy. Duh we have to communicate and take breaks together he's my counterpart. So I'm kinda split sometimes it can be nice (hot and steamy) sometimes it can just be a cluster f***.

My husband and I met at work. We have been together for 21 years now. Married for 17 of those. We were young and both in college. Worked out great for us!

Oops. Wrong thread.

One of my bigger mistakes. Thought nobody knew. Everybody knew. He was a D-bag to the 1000th power. Thank god I got away.

raindawg

I did. She sat in the cubicle next to mine. We've been married 12 years now.

Dated many women at work back in the 70's and 80's. Boss, Boss's secretary, Boss's Daughter. Half of Accounting. I even met my second wife at work. Still friends with most of them, but they did not work out.

No, No, No.

No you probably should not either.

Besides I might have to fire em.

Nope. I thought about it till I found out his last girlfriend was a stripper. Currently I work in a Hospital and that is a DEFINITE NO on dating coworkers.

Never experienced it but heard some horror stories

KimberlinaB

Yep. We ended up transferring to another site so we would get a fresh start. We both quit within a year, but ended up getting married after a while. Now we're getting divorced but thats unrelated to the work thing. haha

FabulousFantasticFifty

I've only worked with someone that I dated after we were already dating, I honestly think it's bad thing because if the relationship doesn't work out there can be a lot of tension at work after, Unless like the couple above, willing to leave their jobs and ended up getting married!
Then if things don't work out your jobs are not at stake.

So sorry 😕

qxana1969

I have never met anyone of interest to date from work. I would be inclined not to though, I try to keep things simple and drama free.

Tigg_er

It works till it doesn't work , then there is hell to pay !

Tigg_er

I just noticed this thread got revived lol , this is what I wrote in 2016

No, No, No.

I worked with a cute boy when we were 15... he's my husband now Although, as a disclaimer we didn't date at that point. he had asked me out and I turned him down and then we dated 8 years later. Probably for the best haha

I’m currently in a long term relationship with all my coworkers. They just don’t know it. 😏

@tayter_tot7 ok at first but went weird as things didn’t work out. I wouldn’t ever date a girl at work anymore. Keep those lives separate plus you can’t have a moan about them if they worked with ya lol

During the pandemic, a lot of people have been fraternizing with their coworkers - in the same house, no less - for the past year and a bit.

The scandal of it all.
