Dating Co-workers

I'm just curious if anyone has any good stories to tell in regards to getting together with someone you work with. there are 2 couples at my pool that have ended up at the alter, so it can't all be bad, and my last GF is someone i work with and that was great at the time.

yeah....good or bad, whats the verdict?
and no poll, i don't like polls much.

thnx, happy friday!!!!!

I've never been "involved" with anyone that I work with.... the way I see it, it can be awsome or shitty. I would definatly not want to work with somone that i was with AND living with, that woudl be insane. However, the lunch break sexual encounters would be pretty awsome..... :P

I've never been involved with a Co-Worker. Mainly because I work in one of the most Male-Dominated Fields of Work around. And that's the Team I don't play for.

I met my girlfriend at work. -- Well when I used to work previously at EA so I don't work with her any more.

It's fine so long as you both respect the fact that work is work and you have to be professional about things. So long as you two remain mature about it, it'll all be good.

If someone you work with ends up being someone you could love and be with forever...then why not?

Keep it professional..but definately go for it!!! =D

It's hard to say but i think LLaaUUrrYYn is right about what she said. If u don't think its just gonna be a quick fling and make things really awkward then go for it. Find out more about their past relationships to get a good idea or something.

I dated a coworker before and at the time that we were dating it was pretty amazing. The key is to keep your work life strictly proffessional, and we managed to do that which is why it worked out so good for us.
That being said tho, after the breakup tho things were totally whack and I dont think I would ever get involved with a coworker ever again

thnx for the feedback peeps.

i still work with my last GF, and besides a sliiiiight bit of awkwardness at the beginning when i returned from Asia all has been well. Mind you we ended well and are still friends. so i guess it depends o nthe situation...like all things.

thnx, and keep the info coming.

bad idea.
spendin too much time w/ the same person
day in day out will lead to either friction or boredom.
it's a no win situation.

It really depends on the size of the place.. small place, see them a lot, could be awkward.

big place.. hardly see em.. give'r.

I always had the rule of not dating co-workers. (The "don't shit in your own backyard" concept).

I broke that rule, once.

Before we started seriously seeing each other, I had "the talk" w/ her about being professional @ work, and if it didn't work, to continue being professional @ work.

Well, chick needed a psychotherapist, not a boyfriend, so, after about 5 mos., I broke it off.

Was she professional?

Not in the least!

She insisted one of us had to quit because she couldn't handle seeing me every day.

Never did _that_, again!
