Jusat as long as it doesn't affect productivity, I have no complaints

I personally am against it... I am passionate about my work and expect everyone one I lead to have the same focused work ethic. The focus in the workplace must be kept on the work at hand in order to achieve the best results possible... now "after hours" is another story, obviously you have a life outside of work so you should be able to date whomever you want. If you date "in house" you should be careful to keep a professional productive relationship while at work and then plan to let loose after after the bell rings! :)

Absolutely! I met my husband on a job interview. I didn't get the job because it was an inside position and I'm an outside rep. The company he was with ended up offering me a position that was created to launch a new line of product and that brought us back together again.
He and I were in the same office but in different departments and after about five months we started dating. It was against company policy, so we never let on that we were involved. About two months into our relationship my husband was confronted by our corporate office.
Apparently, one of our fellow employees saw the two of us together at a grocery store and took the info to HR. That *****!
He and I weathered the storm and have now been married for five years! I am SO blessed to have him in my life and had we not worked together...it never would have happened.

I absolutely think that dating should be allowed in the work setting. I think that dating should be allowed between anyone anywhere. No one can tell you who you can and can't date, unless of course it is illegal. Like dating minors, because then you would be a pedophile *a little humor to lighten the mood*. But in all honesty, I don't think that you can help who you love, and I believe that you should be allowed to express your love for that person, whoever that may be, as long as it does not affect the outcome of another's life in a negative way.

My boyfriend and I work together, but I think that a lot of people see workplace romances as unprofessional. So we keep it quiet. No one else at work knows, except for his brother. So, I think it's ok, but I don't think it should be made a big deal of. You should keep it on the down low, and there should be no displays of affection at work.

Yes, absolutely. Here's why: because it's happening. Those couples are only lying to their boses and collegues. It's like drugs, they're illegal, but there's people on them... So, why continue the charade and just make dating acceptable and normal? Why repress it?

Yes.
You can't stop having feelings for someone because you work with them.
And you can't be forced into changing jobs because of that

as long as it doesn't get in the way of your jobs. things can get SO awkward if the relationship doesn't work out though.

No--it leads to nothing but trouble.

mixing work and romance is never a good idea.
