Having to go to work everyday and do the same tasks can be stressful enough, but imagine having a romance with someone you work with. The idea of being in the same office with your partner might seem nice and romantic, but there can be unforeseen problems that come with that territory. Usually there is no legal reason why a company can keep you from dating a coworker. However the problems that it can cause on the work place make it a sticky situation. Many offices have strict policies about people working together and dating as it's a negative for productivity.
Another thing to think about when considering a relationship with a coworker is the behavior of the other people at your workplace. If you are a happy couple its easy for others in your office to feel jealous of your success. The opportunities for backstabbing are always present, especially in a big office where the culprit will more easily be hidden. Many of these people aren't happy with their own relationships and lives so they will find some twisted pleasure in making your life more miserable, if they can.
There are cases when an office romance can be exciting. It really depends on your comfort within your environment, how does your office view these type relationships. If you aren't sure it will be OK its best to play it safe, there are always other people to meet.
I have heard of examples where coworkers can work together and at the same time be involved in a relationship. However when it goes bad it usually really goes bad, and this is my overall point. Because you always have the problem of what to do if the relationship ends in a breakup, this is a sticky situation. How do you see the same person everyday at work and act like everything's fine. The stress of the situation may make it impossible for you to continue working there. Whether it's because you won't feel comfortable enough to concentrate or one person quits after the breakup. If you are going to date someone from your work or office then make sure you are ready to find another job if it doesn't work out.
Then again if you are reading this and you are already seeing someone from your work that's a little bit different. In this scenario its best to try and keep the office romance a secret. You should talk with your partner and discuss the idea to keep things private when at work. You should also try to hide your feelings and the way you act around each other or else all your efforts will be in vain. After you have been together for a while and you feel that your relationship is ready for the next level, then you may want to tell people at your work that the two of you are a couple. If you are operating in "secret couple mode" then its best to talk about things and maintain an agreement. In the end it up to you, your choices in this matter have the potential to massively reshape your life so be careful.
