Why do people always say "don't date/marry coworkers" yet, it always happens?

Lindsay lohan, married the executive producer for one of her movies, "irish whish". he also is now the assistant vp at credit suisse, meaning he's's a really good financier.

That still means though, that she married her coworker

Yet, people are always saying "dont date your coworker"

Well it can cause major issues especially if you’ve been with multiple people and everyone’s dating one another. But at the end of the day if you’re building a genuine connection with someone sometimes the bigger the risk the bigger the reward.

I would much rather date a woman that I know. Who I’ve been around and built a connection with. Then someone I never met before online or some rando in public. Not saying that’s wrong either you have to meet people somehow just be careful.

I would say if someone means enough to you then GO FOR IT…. But if it’s just for lust I would avoid it. Don’t be that person who tries to bag everyone at work. But also don’t shut out potential amazing opportunities either even if it’s risky.

It happens because as an adult work is where you meet most of your peers, same as most people dated classmates in high school. But in general, it's a bad idea in my opinion because when you have problems it makes combining your personal and work life hard. I dated a coworker not long ago, and it sucked after we broke up and still had to work together for a while longer.

Yeah I bet. What about just being friends with benefits and still seeing them at work and working with them & not letting anyone else know what’s happening.

[avery58]

@Bad2daBone22 I was never into the friends with benefits deal. There's still a risk though cause if one of them catches feelings, or tells one of their fellow co-workers (friend) as a secret. There is a lot of gossip and rumors going around the workplace 😂

[Bad2daBone22]

@avery58 yeah unless it was good gossip but gossip usually isn’t good lol.

[Bad2daBone22]

@avery58 that’s where I messed up then lol 🫣😬😂

friends with benefits is a relationship, without the label. I GUARAN FUCKING TEE IT

Well it’s different if you’re Lindsay Lohan. Plus that guy wasn’t really her coworker. He paid for the movie, which makes him basically her boss. But for regular people, you can get in a lot of trouble if the people who run the company find out.

[Asker]

so he paid her for sex. that makes a pimp

[WhitneySnow]

No! He paid her to make a movie. She had sex with him because she liked him.

[Asker]

because she paid him

[Asker]

he paid her*

[WhitneySnow]

You’re being an idiot. You clearly don’t understand what an executive producer does and their relationship to the star. Plus odds are Lindsay was an executive producer too, which puts them on completely equal footing.

Lindsay Lohan has A LOT of money. She doesn’t need to screw a guy just to get a role in a movie anymore (if she ever did). But this is totally off topic from your original question.

[Asker]

He paid her, to have sex.
She may have produced it too, but that still means, she screwed, her boss

[WhitneySnow]

Never mind.
