In my opinion it's not a good idea. If things don't work out your job performance will decrease and you eventually will try to find any excuse for not going to work because of her. When there's a breakup in a relationship, the only healer for the pain you feel is time and not seeing the other partner, but in your case, you will see your partner everyday and for a long period of time. Remember we spend most of our time at work, more than at home or any other place. So take my advise mate and don't start dating a co-worker or if you have started dating already, find a way to stop it.

It can work out really good but you both have to be mature enough to handle doing this.. you can't let it affect your job and good boundaries have to be set... I've had a few and they always worked fine because I didn't let my feeling get in the way of work and when they ended that was fine to, but this can only happen if it's made known that no matter what we'd still be friends... this has to be casual dating and sever honesty up front..

It is NEVER a safe thing to do. If you have to work and interact with this person closely it is NOT a good thing. My husband and I do work for the same company in the same building, but we are in different departments with very different jobs. We sometimes wave from across the floor. I would not date someone I have to work closely with.

I think overall it's a bad idea. I dated a man that I worked with for 8 years. When things were good at home, work was good. When things were bad at home, work was bad.
It's hard enough when you're in a troubled relationship at home but to be in that drama at home and not have the office to escape to because the drama is there too, I think you're asking for trouble.

I wouldn't recommend it, man. Things can get pretty ugly and a lot of problems can pop up, particularly liability issues. Just back off from it if you want to keep your job.

Terrible Idea, How would you like to go to work after getting into a huge blow up fight with the person you lived with and just knowing that you have to deal with them even more with no real time to cool down.

Not a good idea. If it doesn't work you both will feel uncomfortable and if it does your boss probably won't like it. Many places today don't allow couples to work at the same place.

It depend on how mature you two guys are otherwise one of you will end up loosing your job. Believe first know that person well before you jump to the relationship otherwise it will worsen the situation at work.

Depends on who, where and how. It can be okay in some instances but unadulterated hell in others. I personally would not want a serious relationship with a person I worked with.
