    My husband and I worked together when we met 22 years ago. We have been married 20 years. There were no rules against coworkers dating at that job.

    I dated my boss' son whom I also worked with. Don't do it. Leads to trouble.

    NEVER crap where you eat. Period.

    If it all goes to hell in a hand basket it is going to make for a very awkward work situation later.

    As someone who has been there it is 100% inappropriate, unprofessional, and frankly looks really bad.

    bad idea. If things go great then great, but I think about the number of men I dated before I settled into hubs and the odds would be against it working out well. And then I think about how those ended and the odds are pretty good that the end is pretty nasty . . . I would not ever ever ever want to work with some of the people I dated. I only advocate the initiation of a workplace romance on the last day of one of the two people's emplyment.

    Well...she stayed over at my place a couple times, I got bored. She wasn't as bored. We still had to see each other at work at least 3 or 4 days a week sometimes 2 if our schedule didn't intersect. Let me just tell you it was awkward...

    I meet my boyfriend of 3 years at work [he was a cook, I was a waitress] We dated for over 6 months without anyone knowing. By the time people started to find out about us I was switching jobs anyway. He still works there, I do not. We would not have lasted this long if we still both worked there. Way too much drama and other people thinking they can get involved in your relationship.
