I’m currently going through this now…this crap is hard, there’s not much places we can go, too many restrictions placed on our life.

Well my wife and I work for the company… So does this count as an office romance?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with adults engaging in a consentual relationship, regardless of the environment. The problem with office romances comes when the couple is feuding or the relationship fails completely. My ex-boyfriend was an Exec at the company I worked for. When we were good, it was great. When we were feuding, I was called into his office for impromptu “meetings” where he confronted me about our relationship. Luckily I didn’t report to him, but we worked together on certain projects. I remember one particular meeting where a colleague noticed his hostility towards me (we were on a “break”) and told me she’d handle the project so that I didn’t have to work with him. I think she knew what was going on. Because of that experience, I”ll probably avoid office romances with a superior in the future

Its o.k. but usually some of your coworkers will hate on the relationship and if one person is a supervisor eventually someone needs to leave the company or ask for a transfer.

Never mix business with pleasure I always say. Especially if pleasure can fire yo ass if they get bored with you.

I was actually hoping I could find a potentially decent woman in my line of work (military), but with each passing day, that is becoming less and less of a reality.

Only if we worked for the same co but not in the same department. I always have to think in terms of
a) I need to be able to do my job and not be distracted by him
b) IF IF IF we stop dating, I need to not see him all the time

Sometmes you just let yourself do what feels good and what feels right, but I think it’s more mature to weigh it on the grand scheme of things. No way am I dating my boss or the guy in the cube behind me. I don’t wanna hang with my man all day at work. Go away, let me miss you!

If you’re going to do it, then it may be best to initially keep it to yourselves. But at some point, after the relationship develops, I think you have to firmly step out and make it known what it is between the two of you. Get in front of the story, instead of having people whispering and wondering about the two of you…especially if it’s a situation where one of you is a subordinate.

I think its okay as long as the two R mature & responsible. I have done that & its diffcult cause every1 is in your biz but what they kno depends on you. Ur relationship should be highly valued & respected & kept between the two of you
