Dealing with an office romance
Office Romance
By Curt Smith
Relationship Correspondent - Every other Monday

1 | 2 |
 Young professionals often spend more time at the office than at home. Consequently, there are a lot of single men and women who don't have the time to meet new people. Naturally, they seek their potential partners within their surrounding environment -- the office. Single people feel that work is a natural place to meet new people. After all, you spend at least 40 hours a week there, with individuals of similar backgrounds and interests. Relationships with co-workers can be especially tempting because hard work doesn't leave much time for socializing.office romance - the good There are many issues -- both positive and negative -- to consider before engaging in office romances. One of the positive aspects is time efficiency, since you no longer need to search for a significant other in the evening. Why look around for potential dates when you have an office full of beautiful women? You save both time and money. A second advantage to dating someone in the workplace is that since you spend so many hours together at work, you already have an idea of what she's like. This can save you from lots of headaches down the road. A final advantage, besides the sex, is that you can carpool. Not only do you get to spend the night together, you also save on gas. Wow, what are the chances that you could date women that would save you gas money?office romance - the bad Office romances also have their drawbacks. For example, no matter how well the relationship is going, the situation itself is a recipe for disaster. The fact that couples are in constant contact with one another day and night may cause friction within the relationship. Everyone needs "alone time" to pursue hobbies or hang out with friends, and the lack thereof may cause relationships to self-destruct. Office romances may interfere with individuals' abilities to perform their professional duties. Imagine telling your girlfriend that she's fired? There is obvious potential for conflicts of interest between office situations and relationships. Be sure to avoid accusations of favoritism, which may harm the morale of colleagues. Jealousy is another negative issue. Because you must usually keep office relationships a secret, other employees may flirt with your partner or vice-versa. You have to keep in mind, that this type of flirting is common and happens all the time in the workplace. So keep cool or the cat's out of the bag.office romance - the ugly Before beginning a relationship consider its potential outcomes. If things don't work out, will things become awkward? Prepare yourself for the unwanted situations that might follow. In order to be prepared, evaluate who's date-worthy, their position and the consequences of a breakup: Dating colleagues: Rivalry and competition may harm the relationship. Uncomfortable situations may arise after the breakup when career advancement issues come into play. Dating Subordinates: False accusations of favoritism may arise, as well as accusations of sexual harassment after the breakup. Dating Bosses: False accusations of favoritism may arise. You may get FIRED after the breakup. Next >>

I find the way to keep my heart AND my paycheck is to keep the emotions under control and to make sure that I HAVE A LIFE besides becasue on bad days that makes all the difference!Thanks Fri, Jun.20th 2008 at 16:45:59 EST Rating: romancejee says: im luvin this awesome tips mind joinin atwww. romanceandfriendship . com Wed, Mar.26th 2008 at 11:50:20 EST Rating:  Office Mate author says: It's funny you didn't mention our recent book "Office Mate: The Employee Handbook for Finding--and Managing--Romance on the Job," because it explores every aspect of office romance and gives strategies for keeping your heart AND your paycheck. One thing guys should remember: the luxury of time that office romance offers you gives you the opportunity to show a woman you're attracted to what you're really like. If she isn't interested in you right off the bat, you have months worth of chances to show her who you are. The beginning of every great office romance story, as told by the woman, is "we started out as friends" and the ending of every great office romance story is "I never would have ended up with this guy if we hadn't met at work." So take advantage! Mon, Mar.24th 2008 at 17:18:45 EST Rating: MB says: Me again - meant to say in my previous post that my colleague and I are now dating and its looking very postive at the moment. We are of course being very quiet about things to start with just in case things dont work out. We'll tell everyone when we're ready to send out the wedding invitations - GOOD ADVICE I think for anyone else in our situation - keep schtum until you're ready to make things permanent (e.g. weddding) because you never know how it will all turn out and what people will think. so far so good.... Mon, Mar.24th 2008 at 17:15:12 EST Rating: MB says: Very interesting article - I have a colleague I have been interested in for some time and have not been sure how to proceed. I have confided in a few friends who have given me very mixed advice - do it, don't do it, etc.. Your article has helped me to step back and analyse the situation clearly - what a relief to have some clarity. Thanks Sun, Mar.2nd 2008 at 12:33:03 EST Rating: Open Minded says: Good and sensible advice within this article - there are pros and cons. Life is strange, though - we never know where love find us. I have an aquaintance who met his now wife who worked for him at his company. At first the circumstances were not ideal (without going in to detail), however they have been together for over 20 years and are quite happy. Sun, Mar.2nd 2008 at 10:59:12 EST Rating: Mr Careful says: These seem to be more and more common but just because it's called an office romance doesn't mean you should conduct it in an office. So our first bit of advice is to get it outside. You don't really want to ask somebody out on a date over their desk. Do not in any circumstance use e-mail. E-mail is not your personal property. It is the company's property. It is not private - it lasts forever. Wed, Feb.27th 2008 at 19:40:18 EST Rating: n/a success2008 says: I fell for my boss at the job interview - instantly! wow - thunderbolt type of thing. I didn't get the job at first, but 6 months later I emailed the ususal waffle "if there are any further positions available please keep me in mind...blah blah blah" - well that got me a job in the end. Fast forward - After four long years of flirting (kind of) and trying to behave because we're both married to other people we consumated the relationship during an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC NIGHT AWAY...on business of course :>).. WOW. right, what was I saying? ok, it's been a year now and we're still getting along and having the occasional night away when we can - its great. I love him absolutely to bits - still. I really do love him. And I can tell by the way he looks at me that the feeling is mutual, although he has not said "I love you" to me. He is after all married as I am and is understandably feeling mixed up - as I am. What can I say? We have such a supportive relationship both during and outside of work - its better than before we did "umm umm". Ok, I expect all the doom sayers will write in about how horrible we are, but we're obviously not getting what we need from our marriages. We didn't just jump in the sack - it took four years to get to this stage. We've been at it for a year and we still get along at work and we work in very close proximity (next room). Strangely, our work productivity has doubled in the last year...hmmm. Yes, its a strange situation, but he gives me something I'm missing at home (I hope I do the same for him) and we're good friends at work too, especially as we have this extra element to our relationship (discreetly of course). As it happens, he is not really my boss anymore due to a staff buyout of our company as I am now a director - so are the tables turned? Whatever! I'll always consider him to be my boss (at least in private!!) because that makes it so much more fun!!!. Go on all you negative people - have a go..... page(s): 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 READ MORE COMMENTS  POST YOUR COMMENTS: User Name: Rate this article: RATE HERE 5/5 - excellent 4/5 - very good 3/5 - good 2/5 - average 1/5 - poor *** Invalid Email *** Your Comments: 800 characters left DISCLAIMER: You are solely responsible for the comments and other content that you post.AskMen.com accepts no responsibility whatsoever in connection with or arising from such content.
