I was just wondering how many people have or would think about dating someone that they work with? Nunca. Never. If the two of you have a bad break-up, then it will affect your work. |

Well, you can't help who you fall in love with, so I think I would. The environment wouldn't make any difference. The bonus being that you already know each other quite well. Plus, if it all fell apart, I'd rather work my way around that, than lose my job. I would keep it civil.

See that's the thing that i was thinking about.. I try to keep my personal life away from work but on some of the tough days, I just found myself venting and now I wonder about how much was passed onto others without the full story.. my co workers have had some good advice but I'm thinking that one has devoloped a little crush and that's not what I'm looking for.. I know he's been unhappy with his relationship ever since i started but I think it's even more unhealthy to try to jump from one to another.. besides the fact that he's not my type in a way that I can't agree with some of his actions or thoughts..

Been there, done that....don't recommend it.... co-workers are always in your business looking for gossip. It makes it very hard for the relationship to go forward. I have already found there to be drama that was not needed.. |

It's situational. To date (22+ years in the Corps) I have seen six (6) workplace romances turn into lifelong partnerships. Only two couples out of the six are divorced, but that is because of: Divorced Couple #1: We were in N.C., He had another wife in GA. Divorced Couple #2: They fought before, during, and after the marriage - we knew it wouldn't live to the 5-year mark. Looking at those statistics, and keeping in mind that the military mind is, well, different, you stand a good chance - GO FOR IT. Again, it's situational. What is your workplace's official AND unofficial policy? At the end of the day, if you and him are the sparkle in each others' eyes, d@mn every thing & body else! Its not that easy in the military; especially on ship. You are in close quarters all the time with people and we put our lives in their hands. Of course we have a "no fraternizing" policy between enlisted, senior NCOs, and officers. Its put there for a reason as we have to keep order. Fact is when you enter into a relationship; there is about a 50 percent chance it will fail and then it makes it too difficult to work with that person. Then one of you feels obligated to quit; so really the best thing is just not get involved no matter how much sparkle there is. Its just not a logical thing to do and sometimes your common sense has to overcome your emotions. That's what I have been feeling.. there is a trust factor when people work so close together but there is also a line that shouldn't be crossed.. it's one thing to try to be supportive when you hear of different hearships people are going through and to let emotions get in the way of a work environment.. |

It's a personal choice but I wouldn't do it (again).
I need to be at work to work - not play around. Play time is away from and not with anybody from work. |

So to recap: Don't do it?
Q: What if that coworker is YOUR "click" Q: What if you and him were destined for one another, and an event somewhere along the line put the two of you in the same workplace to help it come to fruition? Q: What if you know enough about that person, because you work together, and they fit your "ideal mate-list" > ? Q: What if <insert optimistic possibility here> ? Last Q: What if ifs were fifths? (we'd ALL be messed up)  Moral: Don't miss that magic boat. You may have to ride a few dingys (terrible pun) before landing on that cruiseliner. |

But if you think about it, those lucky (IMHO) S.O.B's that found their significant soulmate at the workplace more than likely would NOT be up in here! They are too busy shuffling work, kids, and their happy-a$$ relationship... hmmmm. Jealous much? (yes, I am) |

I was just wondering how many people have or would think about dating someone that they work with? If I liked my job I'd avoid dating anyone also working there like the plague. I've rejected many over the years that I worked with. |

Thanks for all of the responses.. from what I have read so far.. it doesn't sound like it would be that great of an idea to get involved with someone.. I know there are the what ifs but in the long run of things it doesn't sound like it will be worth it.. :-)

Many prostitutes won't ever date their professional clients. I've met only 2 that did go out on a date, but they were hired for the entire one night and day; very very expensive 'dates'...

Sometimes, you just meet people in random places. I'm still not getting how the social setting would be a deciding factor.
