How do you feel about dating co-workers?

I don’t believe this is advisable. In fact, I would advise otherwise. No to office dating! Before anything else, I believe this brings complication and awkwardness to an office setting. There will be talks, especially if the person you are dating is someone in a higher position. Now, let’s say everything is going well with the two of you. No hassles. All your co-workers accept your relationship. Then comes a fight. Just think how awkward it will be. Let’s go fast forward. You two broke up. How much more awkwardness can you put in the situation?

Of course, I am being pessimistic here. I am aware of the fact that some couples who started out as co-workers ended up married and having a great relationship. But this is the exception to the rule.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

    Hi Bahchi,

    its the worst thing I ever did.

    For me, it’s never a good idea. The stress coworkers put on you. When it does…awkward at the work place for you and them.

    My brother in law used to work in a bank, a coworker became his girlfriend and later on became his wife. Every time they had an lq, everyone knows. The relationship didn’t last long, nauwi rin sa hiwalayan. And you’re right, it was awkward and that’s according to him.
