My husband and I met at work. We've been together over 11 years and we both still work here.

I've worked with ex-boyfriends before, and I'd say it can be very difficult. But at the same time, I worked with my hubby while we were just starting out dating, and that ended very well.
Set some rules, like no flirting on the job and no pet names. Keep the relationship outside of work. Don't keep it a secret from your coworkers, but don't flaunt it in their faces. Only admit it if they ask. Keep details of your relationship to yourselves (don't start office gossip). Also, if your company has rules about coworkers dating, you might have to keep it a secret or decide if you're going to call it quits. And taking it slow is always good. You don't want to to rush into something (like sleeping together) if it's just going to wind up being office gossip the next day because she (or you) blabbed.

It can work, but I have seen a lot of relationships end because of it. It really has nothing to do with the two people, but it has more to do with everyone else. Girls like to talk, men like to talk. If you guys are ever fighting, and you talk to your work friends about the issue, it gets around, and things get all jumbled up. Also, a lot of people see a couple at work, and being happy together, and it makes them bitter, and whether they are aware of it or not, they try to pull them apart. All in all, it's probably not the best idea.

I say no. However it depends if you guys can handle it. Me and my boyfriend worked at the same place in the same department. We both used to get an ear full of rumors from co-workers, but we trusted each other so, we didn't pay it any attention. We did have to get a lot of people straight though. And tell them in a nice way to stay out of our business.

Well let me put it this way....Noooooooo, lol.I think that is a very bad idea cuase she wants a way to keep an eye on you and that will end up with drama, and not only that but do you really think it's gonna work when you wont have a chance to miss her or her missing you,Seeing each other in a daily bases gets people irritated with one another.So I'd find someone that I don't work with but it's your call....good luck!!!

Well if you worked together first and then started dating than that might be ok. However if you were dating first and then both got jobs at the same place it might prove to be more difficult than you think.

There are some teams that work, play, live and sleep together but they are few.
I don't recommend dating people you work with. A personal relationship is terribly complex and working together just makes it more so.
That said, everyone is different and as I said to start with some people are successful at it. You will have to make that decision for yourself.

Personally I wouldn't want to work with my boyfriend (if I had one). I like the whole distance thing. But anybody is different

No, if you get into a fight over something stupid, everyone will
take her side of it and make you the dog.
