    Yeah, NO!

    My best friend did that, and even married her. Then they got a divorce and now it's awkward at work, ever day.

    I don't see an issue with it as long as you don't work too closely with the person and as long as your company doesn't have a policy prohibiting it. If I worked for a small company or within the same department I would try to avoid it.

    I say go for it, ive seen it work out, and ive seen it not work out. And guess what, Ive seen people who don't work together fall apart and things get awkward, so the working environment doesn't have anything to do with that in my opinion.

    I could never afford to be that selective. *shrug

    I see no problem with it you have ready made discussion topics

    I met my second and third husbands at work. Work had nothing to do with the subsequent divorces, but we were not working at the same place for long anyway. So I'm going to say depends on the people, and situation. If you are in the same department in the company or it's a small company, any breakup would or could be messy.

    It's hard enough to find someone that you really connect with, I can't imagine turning down someone just because I work with them (unless it's forbidden, of course).

    My second wife was a co-worker. I left my first wife for her. My second wife left me for a co-worker. My third wife wasn't a co-worker when I married her, but we soon became co-workers in a Chiropractic Office. She left me for one of her patients, so I married one of her other patients.

    Don't get your meat where you get your bread.

    I would never want to compete against you in a heated contest of musical chairs.

    Probably a bad idea. Unless you got married because romcom.

    I don't think it has much to do with the fact that they were co-workers though... could have been anyone you would have met anywhere else. My sister and her boyfriends seem to do the 'dump my current partner for someone else' dance a lot too, and they never had to work together for that to happen.

    @GypsyFire65 a bit off topic, but you have my sympathies, I take care of my elderly mother in my home, and it's not for the faint of heart of short of patience types (and patience is not my strong suit).

    I met my fiance at work but refused to go out with him as long as we worked together. Its a bad idea because if it doesn't work out you still have to deal with eachother daily.

    He asked me out again the day after he left the job and then I said yes.
