Co-Worker lovin'

It's easy, because you see your co-worker every day, and so you can fall. But it's a bad idea, because you see her everyday, and if the relationship goes wrong, then it has a big impact on the work relation too.

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless."

Dating a co-worker is a bit iffy... I did it though...but we did not work the same hours. I worked in the afternoon and she worked at night. So we didn't really see each other. But i also knew her for a while and we were close friends before we started dating. I guess it also depends on the work setting. If its more professional probably not a good idea. If its more relaxed maybe but still not a good idea. It also depends how each of you will react to each other (like get jelous etc etc) when you guys see each other interacting with different people during work. If you were to get jelous/pissed due to your significant other during work it probably ruin your mood and how you perform for the rest of the day. And depending on how badly the breakup is... it can get messy...and probably mess up your performacnce during work too.

I starting dating a co worker and  if it goes wrong it can make work very tricky. luckily mine worked out and we are still together 15 years later, although we dont work together anymore!

It kinda sets itself up to happen in a way because you see that person for hours on end everyday, far more than you would most people!

My friend got in a realtionship with a co-worker and it worked out just fine....but if it goes wrong then you are in trouble because you have to be with them all the time!!

The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes, but don't be afraid...

I only have 10 other co-workers, 3 of them women, all of them at least 20 years my senior, none of them even remotely gay or bi but married with children. So luckily that's not much an issue for me :)

But I was once in love with this girl I worked with and saw every day. She was no where near gay so I had to hide my feelings and it messed me up good. If she had liked me back I would've gone for it even if it wouldn't have worked out in the end. Either way would have let to a heartache, but at least if I had gone for it (if that had been a possibility) we'd have been together even if just for a while.

If you're in love or just really like someone you work with, if you think it's worth it then go for it. But ofcourse, what if you do go for it, it ends really badly and now you're not even friends anymore, she's with someone new, you're not over her and now work has become hell?

and you know you're not going to work there for the rest of your life then go for it. because if something bad happens you can quit.

My girlfriend and I worked at the same hectic place for about a year, which didn't turn out very well, at least not in the start. After that we made a rule that if we were mad at each other, then we simply wouldn't talk together for the rest of the shift, which was pretty easy since the business always was busy as hell. And it all worked out in the end.

I think I am going to have to go with thelionqueen on this one.
