When two people are thrown together for long hours at the office
and have similar interests, it’s easy for romance to bloom. On the
other hand, an office romance can get in the way of true
professionalism and create trouble for you at the workplace. Office
romances are always a dangerous bet, so if you think that your
only chance at love is in the workplace, think about the following
reasons to avoid mixing business with pleasure:

1. YOUR WORK EFFICIENCY WILL BE REDUCED.

When the object of your desire is within your view during the work
day, your job performance can begin to suffer. Your mind will
become so preoccupied with looking for ways to sneak off for
romantic interludes that you begin neglecting or delivering low-quality
work and end up compromising safety and security aspects. Once
that happens, your boss along with your entire department and
coworkers could lose confidence in your abilities and lose faith in
your dependability.

2. IT WILL LEAD TO OFFICE GOSSIP.

Once your relationship is exposed in front of your coworkers, your
private life won’t be private anymore. Being the subject of office
gossip can destroy your chances for promotion and severely harm
your professional image. Furthermore, if you gossiped about other
coworkers with her or bad-mouthed anyone during your good times
together, there’s a chance that those comments will come back to
haunt you.

3. BREAKUPS COULD MAKE FOR A HOSTILE WORKPLACE.

Let’s face it – most office romances don’t last, and when
relationships outside of the workplace fail, the other half of the
failed relationship will be in constant company, making the
environment very uncomfortable and strained. If she is the instigator
of the breakup or decides she just wants to be friends, jealousy
may take its toll on you when you witness her flirting with other
employees, going out on lunch dates and moving on with her life
without you. On the other hand, if you ended the relationship, she
might try making your life hell at work–and possibly try to get
you fired.

4. IT COULD LEAD TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUIT AGAINST YOU

When subordinates date and then break up, the possibility of a
sexual harassment suit is a real concern. The smiles and occasional
glances, flirting, playful jokes, letters and naughty e-mails that
were thought to be fun and flirty during the relationship could
become evidence against you when dealing with someone who resisted
the breakup and subsequently wants to hurt you.

it's wise to check the company policy about such things before taking the plunge. Some companies are strict, and will fire or reassign people who get involved like that, to different locations to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest...
