Office Dating: Give it a go?

I’m not too sure about this. Should you or shouldn’t you?

It’s just quite so de ja vu-ish since I’ve been encountering this topic for the past week more than 5 times already. One of them was Gayla’s Office Romance Tips a while back.

Anyway, I found an article that tells about the positive side of dating a co-worker, which can give you a nudge toward the direction of giving Office Dating a go. But it does point out some things that an individual contemplating such an act might overlook. So, it worth checking out.

“Attraction at work can create good energy that helps productivity.” The article said. However, nurturing a long-term relationship within the workplace is not really advised since it is known that trouble is not far from happening that can cause damaging things to each of the persons’ careers or affect workplace relations. Hmmm. The latter’s a good point and the former rings true, too. It seems to me that Office Dating should be limited to the non-commitment type of relationship otherwise you’ll be heading to a disaster. Dear me. I think I’ll pass.

Anyway, I’ll let you decide. Right now, I’m too close-minded to even consider it just yet. Crushing is fine. Dating is a different matter. I’ve learned that the hard way.

Here’s the article. Read on.
