We all know it’s wrong and against most rules of corporations/ companies due to HR policies and procedures.
Despite the rules, if you saw a person that is completely your type and the feelings are mutual, would you take the leap of faith or would you just let it fizzle out?
Yeah I am
No never!

I've made it my standard to not date a coworker, because I believe that work and personal relationships can affect each other, and professionalism might not be intact when 2 coworkers are in a relationship.
It would be very very rare for me to make an exception. If I completely trusted that a man would be professional, would not behave in a way that would tell the whole job we were in a relationship, and would not bring relationship disagreements and conflicts to work, and to resolve them in personal time, then I might consider dating him.
I've been able to tell when a few of my coworkers were in relationships or affairs without them or anyone else telling me. It's only when I heard people randomly mentioned then I thought no wonder, I could tell. I would not want that kind of relationship with a male coworker. If I was in a relationship with a coworker, nobody should be able to tell at work, and he should be capable of behaving professionally at work and keep personal things at work.
Is against the rules? I never heard of that. Maybe the boss and employee but not employee and employee lmao. I refuse to work at a place that lacks in eyecandy. If i’m single, the job has got to come with some nice “packages”
Hell no! That's never a good idea. I'd be friends with them and leave the door open for a relationship down the line if I or them ever got fired or quit, but I would NOT be doing a "Jim and Pam" type deal. That almost never works out well! Especially for the man involved.
There is a reason why they tell you not to shit where you eat. I don't care how tempting it is, chasing tail or trying to get some coochie or tail isn't worth losing a job paying you to keep yourself alive.
@Monalisa77 more power to you. I can guarantee that it is not the same way across the board. To go with that, is it really worth a hookup to kill your employment odds because one may be spiteful of the other should something go wrong?
Again, not worth it in my eyes. Obviously we see this differently.
Im not the type of girl who would shag on a first dare, it would take me a long time to rrust someone to do that. Imn34 and never had a boyfriend, if someone i like likes me enough im hardly going to say no, and ill end up hating my job anyway, i want to do more than just blimming post
I would 🤣. A little flirting doesn’t hurt. Imagine working all day and not have entertainment. But dating? I’d have to say no. I don’t want drama at work 🤣. It’s already dramatic enough and stressful. Nahhhhhh
Definitely so. I believe my married boss likes me actually. The feeling is mutual. The fidgeting messing with clothes and excessive preening that happens when I am in sight and having a conversation with her. for example in the hallway, to get to the restroom on our floor, you have to walk down the hall. My boss ( i seen her talking with another person in the hallway) before she noticed me I seen her and she was just standing completely still talking boring like to whoever it was. Soon as she noticed me she immediately looked alive and started getting antsy, adjusting her clothes and fiddling with her glasses and finally messing with her hair (didn't appear to be anything wrong with it) I get closer, her eyes get bigger and she appears flushed looking. She abruptly interrupts the person thats talking to her to say hello to me and as I go by her body shifts direction as if she's following me where I am going. You can feel eyes.
I think it is better not to do this and the one time I did it, it went horribly wrong and I quit my job. But it was a part time job as a waitress so it isn't as if my future depended on it.
However, I voted yes because you never know, I mean if two people are soulmates, how can you tell them not to be together just because they both accepted jobs before meeting? To me, a great match or a great relationship is more valuable than a great job, you can get another job a lot more easily than you can find another great match or great relationship!! But having said that, I would focus looking elsewhere, I am only talking about if something is undeniable and you didn't plan it that way.
For me personally I am not on the market, at work or not at work I am just answering in general!!
I treated all the ladies equally at my last job. There was one I had an interest in, but treated her no different! It wasn’t until I left the job do I approach her! Nothing became of it, too many issue to over come! That’s another story , for another time.
No that's like taking a dump where you are eating. Even if you can handle it, there is no way of telling what shit the other person will do if the relationship fails.
I don't see anything wrong with it. It's extremely common and rarely causes a problem. I've done it and know larges numbers of other people who have done it. Meeting at work is the second most common way for couples to meet. (Mutual acquaintances is first.)
Before I got into my current relationship, I went on some dates with some of the Nurses/Doctors at my job. I like it as a work thing. Not something for an actual relationship.
Now though I get a lot of side eyes and attitude from them cause I let it be known that I am not single anymore.
Many years ago, it was very common for men and working working together to date, and sometimes more. I started dating a woman in my department. We originally kept it quiet, until we announced our engagement. We got married, and had a 20+ year marriage with 3 kids before we amicably divorced. Two other couples in the same department dated and ended up getting married.
A lot of the time something will happen, things will go wrong, etc then whoever is bitter enough will start talking shit about the other, you'll have people turning against the other person, etc.
It's just a big mess that I'd rather not deal with again.
That's how I met my husband. We both worked at walmart but in different departments. I say it's okay if you don't work in the same department, so if you do break up, you won't see each other every day.
Yeah i am but you don't know if it will work out and it will be a very messy and awkward break up. You might have to leave your job.. So i think best to avoid it unless you are sure they are worth the risk.
I have, but I don't know if I would again.. I recently got done seeing a woman who worked in the same place but wasn't a co worker per say.. So I would date somebody who works in the same place, but not the same "department"..
The HR girl at work is attracted to me lol but she's still professional. Not professional enough to control her emotions. I made her blush several times
