You know, you're getting friendly with the girl/guy in the office, you've started sending them silly emails all the time, you enjoy their company at work, then you get it on, you're not after anything serious, so once the whirlwind romance is over, you can never look them in the eye again at work, and things are never the same again...

You can't. This is why EVERY advice person will tell you to avoid office romances. Humans are not able to have a romance, end said romance, and then act as if there was no romance. We are hard-wired for relationships; ending a relationship causes a short in our wiring. We can't ignore it. Layer on top of that the politics in any office and you can be hurt. Keep business business; get your jollies elsewhere.

True, but you can continue a 'normal' working relationship.
I had a fling wih one of our (married) company directors while away on business - after some serious flirting.
Although after getting back things were uncomfortable for a while we have managed to retain a professional relationship.

It is weird isn't it?! That happened to me once. The guy ended up being one of my current boyfriend's best friends and the guy recently married someone else and she's a good friend of mine. Its strange cause now that we are both with other people we don't get all weirded out by each other when we hang out. Both our current partners know that we used to see each other before we met them. It is possible to get over it. just be that person's friend. It shouldn't be that big of a deal if you didn't have a serious relationship. BUT that's just me. Good luck with all that...

I hope for your sake that nothing goes bad at work and you don't get in trouble for this because it is grounds for termination at some company.
But, you just have to do your best to make things seem like they're completely normal. Look them in the eye at work and act like yourself. Don't make it completely obvious to others that something happened by blatantly ignoring each other. Things will get better over time, so just be yourself and act normal!

Try hard - don't listen to their calls, or dropping on any conversation uninvited! Time will put things right! I have just spent my annual work do sitting at a table with all 3 men I have had flings with! There was over a 1000 people there! So you just get on with it!

If your callous enough to just "get it on" with someone at work, "not after anything serious" then why wouldnt you be able to look them in the eye again..
Seems to me that if your not after anything serious, then it wouldnt be a big deal as long as both of you are of the same mind..

I don't know if they ever can be the same again. That's a level of intimacy that you don't soon forget. That's why most people try not to mix career with romance. It hardly ever works out well.

The awkwardness will go in time. I had a similar situation, awkwardness ahoy! But we ended up having to work on a massive project together. I was dreading it to tell the truth, I reckon he was too, but we got on with it, had a laugh and we're back to normality. It takes time, but things will get better :-)

I know exactly what you mean, the same thing happened to me. I think you should just talk to the person and insist on at least staying friends. It's much easier than it sounds, trust me. Good luck :)

Keep it as friends would be my first suggestion, but if it has gone beyond that then you just have two choices. 1. Try and remain friends and be pleasant to each other at work or 2. one of you will have to move on.
