Nope!
If it doesn't work out it is tough and while it is working it even has it's moments!

Depends on how closely together you work. If you're both employees in the same company, but don't see each other in the course of your work day, there's no problem. But if you both happen to be on a small team that works very closely together, it can create problems. Not so much the dating -- and meeting someone through work, or a company activity (the corporate baseball team or whatever) is not a bad way to find your significant other -- but the problem is, what happens if you have personal difficulties. If you have a fight and stop speaking to each other, what happens at work? Can you keep your life so separate that it won't affect your attitude to the other person at work? What happens if you get into a romantic relationship, move in together, then split. Can you overcome that?
Dating in the work place can be great, but would you really want to work all day with someone, then go home and spend all the rest of the day -- and night -- with him/her as well?
Just something to think about.

Over half of couples meet in the work place, however 50% of marriages end up in divorce. Hmmm well i have had the pleasure to date some of my co workers, and i find that all it does is create problems, especially if you lose feelings for that person. I think that it can be fun for awhile, but if it doesn't turn into a long term relationship that it can have negative consequences for both parties. Awkward moments, gossip, heartache, etc. Things that would make you not want to go to work. So i would procede with caution, but the best of luck to ya!

You take a huge risk dating in the workplace. You not only risk your job but you risk your sanity too.
If it doesn't work out you're stuck still working with this person which could be awkward.
If it does work out it is very hard to hide a relationship from those around you (assuming you work closely).

I have done it several times and it never turns out favorable. I always try to keep it descreet but coworkers always intervene and cause mess. Or the guy I was dealing w/ gets tired of keeping it quite and wants to tell the world.

As long as you keep work and pleasure separate. I mean it can be so hard to meet people, so why rule out work for meeting people, especially if you spend much of your day there, right? Just be discreet and be careful.

The majority of the happily married people I know, met in the workplace, including my husband and I!

very very very bad idea. there's always a huge chance it wont work out...unless it's just to be f*** buddies. but even then, you have to deal with the gossip. Definitely NOT worth it.

Depends, if it doesn't work out it can get pretty ugly. If it does, the more power to you. Have a nice weekend.
