That's pretty much what I was going to say. Dating involves emotions which tends to get messy.

Rule number one... Keep your pen out of the company ink!0

I am with you totally.
I have had few co workers ask me out and I always turn them down because I am not comfotable dating someone I work with.I just don't want to mix business with pleasure.Is anyone the same way?
Mixing business with romance is a prescription for pain of the heart and wallet.
If others can pull that off, good for them. Count me out!

I've been with my former co-worker for 9 years.
He's upstairs reading bedtime story to our two daughters.

Date? No. But there was that one night, after the Xmas party, a little too much alcohol ... the rest is history
A guy I worked with "dated" a chick at work. While he was married. And expecting a kid. And had just bought a new house. He dumped his pregnant wife a few days before Xmas. And married the slag from work. Lovely.0 -

i'm the same way, but i guess it really depends on how closely they work with you. If its a small office where your definetly going to see them everyday, forget it. Who could possibly stand that anyway? lol. if you work on different floors and its not typical that you run into each other, and your work is different enough that you're never going to have to work together on something... then its a little different, but even then it wouldn't be my first choice.0

That's how I met the only man I ever loved, way back in 1985... it didn't last, but it was tons of fun because in-office dating was verboten so we had to sneak around... when I was late for work because I'd stayed over at his place I couldn't tell the truth about why I wasn't on time... he was handsome and exciting and funny and I wouldn't trade the memories of that year for anything! I ended up moving out of state after we split up so we were no longer co-workers; I can see how that could have been a serious problem.
RHB, wherever you are, I still love you..........
better to have loved and lost.
but if you moved out of state just so you would no longer be working together post break up... i'd say this is an example of what not to do0 -
My wife doesn't let me date. 0

This. Things are very competitive where I work, almost to the point of being cutthroat.

Been with him since he was a teenager though so it didn't start out at work Oh and I'm the boss ;P

It's a personal decision, obviously. I started dating a co-worker 20 years ago this coming December. We've been married 18 years! We were part-timers that both had different full time jobs, so it's a little different scenario, but dating a co-worker doesn't always automatically spell doom. 0

Nope; I was planning on leaving the job anyway and the move was back to where I had originally come from to be closer to my family... if we'd stayed together I would have remained in the area and found a new job nearby. I agree, better to have loved and lost... if I had the chance to do it all over again I would. No hard feelings; I was just more serious than he was but he never lied to me so I have no complaints. At least I picked a good guy.

My general rule is a big no. But in this world we live in we spend most of our time at work so there's a pretty good chance you'll meet someone there too.
I wouldn't suggest dating someone from the immediate team, but if it's not someone you're working with all the time it could work I guess.0 -
I did! Then I married him!0
-
Yes, I have several times. It only became a problem with one guy. I broke up with him but he wouldn't let go, then I had to get my manager involved because he was making an *kitten* of himself, like stalking me at work! So don't think I would do it again.0
-
I dated a coworker once... please, do not.0
-
I actually met my fiancé in orientation at a new job 7 years ago. Granted we don't work together anymore, and didn't start dating until after we were no longer working together, but that being said, don't write someone off just because they are a co-worker. You never know where you may meet your other half

If it was ^^^^^^ I would.0

I dated my husband when we worked in the same shop in the military. Yes, we lived dangerously. And then we got out of the military because we were tired of all the BS we dealt with from supervisors.0

I've seen it go very wrong and I've seen it go right.

I might, it depends on the situation I suppose. In my current job it wouldn't be a good idea.0
