Is dating someone you work with wrong....just incase things were to go wrong?

Answer 1

no i met my wife at work been married 10 years now,we keep our home life and our work life seperate

Answer 2

I ask you this, where would the world be if we lived in fear of all the consequences? The only way it would be a problem, would be if you were a crass, classless chav. Who, if the relationship ended badly, would make a pathetic show in public, shouting and name calling etc... So if you are a normal person and the relationship doesn't work out, you just act maturely and professionally at work. Maybe one of you would look for another job. But is that the end of the world? Is it worth not finding someone special because it may go wrong? You'd never get out of bed if you extended that argument to all lifes choices.

Answer 3

Not wrong but perhaps foolhardy. It can put an unnecessary strain on the relationship and your career. It's difficult to keep the balance right too when your lover may be distracting you in the workplace. If it does go wrong then the aftermath could force one of you to have to leave, The other thing is that some companies actively ban this type of behaviour. Best to keep work and play separate is my advice.

Answer 4

Well what about your freiends... if you dated one of them it could mess up your social life, how about at your favourite club?

How about your bowling team? You sports team? Your local pub?

It would be the same anywhere only for many they dont have sports teams or other clubs in which to get to know people especailly if they work long hours for little pay with reant and mortages so high...


The main places to find someone to fall in love with as opposed to a one night stand are

school,
college/uni,
work.

This is unlike a bar where you have to make a move straight away and do it perfect. At work or school you get to know the person and work out if this is a potential love interest or friend.


You get to know each other, get to develop relationships and get to talk and mess up before you ask someone out.


If everyone worried about work relaltioships unless you have excellent chat up and pulling skills... Most would lead very horrible miserable lonely lives

Only ever meeting prostitutes, strippers, porn stars or internet dates or simply die alone.

If a boss threaented your job you would have the right to threaten to **** up their family, to try and break it up or attack their home life as thats exactly what they would be doing to you.

A relationship in early stages is as important as a family in later stages.


In fact given most have crap jobs the realtioship could be more important as may not get another chance to be with somone who will mean that much to them.

As said if it goes wrong... what if it goes right?

What you need to do if look at all the sad, lonley alcohol addict, hurting, suicidal, folk who would put up with an abusive spouce who two timed them or battered them as it beat being alone to realise how precious the chance of love is.

Answer 5

I would say dating someone you work with is not wrong, "BUT" once you have a relationship with that someone at work is the hard part, because when things go wrong as they sometimes will you will see her or him at work and it will be really hard specially if you guys break-up and you work in the same place.
Although it has it's advantage it has more of it's disadvantages...but re-think before trouble comes...take care..

Answer 6

It's not wrong at all, as long as neither of you are married.

The only time it's wrong is if one or both of you doesn't have the maturity to act professionally at the office if things don't work out between the two of you.

But as long as you can still get along at work even if dating doesn't work out, then you should be fine.

Answer 7

nothing wrong with it, UNLESSE, the relationship goes really bad. then it's really a pain to deal with.

my first wife and i met at work, and married. after 8 years, there were major problems she started an affair with another co-worker.

I divorced her, and moved on an married again about a year later. still working in the same place, but my ex would do all in her power to create problems for me at my job. I transferred to another office but that didn't work either as she would come to my work site and start crap with me or one of my co workers.

I finally got so sick of the stress of just seeing her drive up on a job site, that i transferred several hundred miles away.

But even then she'd make sure she showed up at my work site on fridays. Her office worked a 4 day work week, mine worked 5days a week. I finally had enough years in where i retired and moved to another state.

Answer 8

It is only wrong if your company has a policy about this type of thing. But I would advise it can be very weird if things did not work out. Good luck!

Answer 9

It's not wrong at all. Quite a few people get married after meeting someone at work.

Answer 10

Not really it depends how that person feels about it. But it might make you and that other person feel awork at work when you see each other. But if it end in a good way no. But if it happen in a bad way then yes.

Answer 11

it is not wrong you never know where you can find that perfect person but try to keep it as private for as long as poss so that you can at least get to know each other b4 the office gossip starts to fly around and people start to meddle.
