do you think having feelings for someone you work with is wrong?

Answer 1

not if your single

Answer 2

I don't think it is wrong, you do spend nearly everyday together so you will build up a close relationship, but i would definitly weigh up the pro's and con's.

1. make sure you are single
2. Working and going out together could put a strain on the relationship and spoil it, then how do you work together after that? will it make things awkard for you?
3. are they in a higher position than u? or vice versa? as this may cause jealousy within the work place. i.e favouritsm, which will put on a strain.

You must carefully think about these things, because sometimes the after effect of a break up (IFyou break up that is) can cause big problems at work.

But you ask the question like it is someone you shouldn't really like at work, but you do, secretly maybe? i don't know as the question is vague.

But without a doubt when you spend that much time with someone you will grow feelings for them, whether it be as friends, lovers, crush or like a brother or sister, but only you can decide which type of feeling it is. And what steps you think you should take.

Good luck

Answer 3

I had feelings for someone I worked with. We started seeing each other, 3 months later I was pregnant and he was servicing another woman at work. Don't mix business and pleasure, it just don't work. I am now a single parent of a beautiful 11 week old baby. The worst thing is, is everyone will know your business! Be careful and good luck.

Answer 4

No I spend all day fantasising about 2 or 3 blokes in my office, who I can actually see right now......... Im not single, and neither are they, its just harmless fantasies..would never go further, but if i were single and one of them was I dont think there would be any thing wrong with getting to know each other.
I think some companies have in their contracts that staff cannot date each other so you might want to check that first

Answer 5

Defiantly, as for one thing it could affect your concertration on your work that you are doing. If you get together with this person than how awkward would it be if you split up and you will still work with one another!
If you go out with one another talking about one another day will be difficult as you both wont have anything fresh to talk about after a long day!

Answer 6

some people will say don't go there but I will tell you the opposite. I have a lot of friends at work and is also thinking of getting together with one of my co workers. there nothing wrong with having feelings for another co worker. enjoy your like and have fun.

Answer 7

Speaking from management experience, never if you are in a line management relationship at work. You will never keep it secret, women at work will always detect the body language.

Answer 8

Definitely not unless you are married or in a relationship already.

I know a few people who have met at work and have had very happy marriages.

If it is affecting your work though it might cause problems.

Answer 9

It depends on whether you are both available,but sometimes judgement can be clouded in certain circumstances at work for instance everyone is polite and kind to everyone,but they could be a total tit at home.

Answer 10

No I dont see why it should. Depends on how you handle it. If its mutual you'll have to come up with a way of making sure it dont interefere with both your work. Be wrong, if you both had partners thou!!

Answer 11

firstly, having feelings for someone doesn't necessarily mean you want to jump into a relationship, does it?

if you are (both) single, then why not?
if you are married, why noTß you can't always control your feelings, can you?

i met my wife through my job, been married 14 yrs...can't be all that bad, can it?
