I would like to know your views about keeping an affair with a girl/lady that works in the office/establishment with you; what are the advantages and disadvantages of such relationships, why do people go into it, and is it healthy or not?
Please lets hear what you have to say about it,

i don't see any problems with office relationships, if ure really serious about it. The only problem is that the break ups are always too messy because ull see and still discuss office matters with the person everyday after u break up thats not going to fly with me abeg, i fancy a girl at work so you guys don't say too many negative things  |

All this trying to get down wth your work buddy is not really sumtin advisable because when it all ends you to still ave 2 be checking out each other and in some cases wondering if the other party is trying 2 get with someone else jealousy in the same place.

That's risky and dangerous.Your job is at risk.I did try it with my immediate superior and she became possesive and deeply in love. What I just wanted as a quickie bt we ended up in a big trouble.
I know of 2 high placed persons in big establishment who were fired for this act. Abeg try some other person before you burn your fingers. Jobs are scarce oh.
Next time go for people on your level or below you, you sef dey go do Oga. |

I don't think its advisable because if u guz are deeply in love u won't concentrate on your work. So its better u don't try it so that u won't get your ass fired.  |

its poison! specially if d guy = boss and babe = subordinate. a lady comes 2 c your boss, maybe his sister or wife u get jealous and when dey leave and your boss gives u work to do, u'll be very reluctant 2 do it. in short office romance is both good and bad!

ok now that is a delicate topic and its rily rily dangerous, well ve bin tru one and it was exciting, yeah it was crazy,well cannot precisely give u the hot details but it was good but when we broke up it wasnt easy 4 me to get ova because i rily liked him , but then he was asking 4 sex , which wasnta bargain i made with him so kaputa i ran, we still see each oda many times and we re pretty close friends, it a;ll depends on how u can hold yourself , we were matured about the whole thing bt 4 a lady whose prtty emotional , dnt bother because if there s a breakup , one persons gotta go most likely u sinceit mite b a boss ure dating so its dangerous and i aint encouraging no onw but if u like adventure sure go straight ahead no long thing

Office romance is not good for business. It is advisable no matter how emotional one gets to try and control it. Instance resign and carryon with the affair. It just like somebody dating a neighbour. There would be any respect in such a thing (LOVE).

zappking:is your mind zapped??  anyway,office romance's cool as long u do it purposefully with d intention of marriage. but it can be draining if it is a fling sha because u'll end up hurting each other and thus create tension in da workplace.i av a few friends who got their spouses in their workplace. |

I'm involved with a girl at work presently. When she joined the company, i wanted to make her feel quite comfortable. Chat,tease her, offer to buy lunch and even beg to drive her home even if she lived in Ghana. But i liked her really other than just jiving. One day, after a few months, we were just sitting and chatting in the car after work and i looked at her and felt like kissing her. I actually beged to kiss her. "Just this one time and i wont disturb you again", i begged. Reluctantly she agreed. We've both been hooked ever since.
Our colleagues can sense our closeness and they just tease us and it ends there.
We've defined our relationship- no sex, maybe everthing else and we comport ouselves properly accordingly.
But the truth is that we've been trying to keep our frienship normal now because we know we're geeting married to other people.
Final Analysis: It could get quite messy with many hearts aching fo a long time.

well the truth is office romance is ALWAYS a very sticky situation and one that can blow up at anytime. because of this explosive nature most people like to keep off. i know some people thrive on danger but then the more careful would rather not. i have also noticed too that most people who get into these things also know they want to define a certain level of committment. i.e not very serious, to lead to anything more permanent. most do not. some do but i know that most do not. anyway on the real, it's not the very best to get into if you want something more out of it.

That's where i think office romance can work, if there are boundaries set and having respect for both involved |

It is as unhealthy as going to hell

It can be very unhealthy and eventually becomes pure toture because the partners become very jealous and posesive to the extent that some one discusing buisness with the partner becomes a potential flirt suspect

It depends - if you to are pretty much peers at work, i c no problem with it. On the other hand, if one is the boss, then it can get sticky. From personal experience, it all depends on how you approach it. Me? I tell the woman upfront that it is not leading to a relationship. It's just "doing whatever, whenever". I have never had any rejections. In the end, it fizzles out and we move on, still being friends Then again, thatz my experience. What is good for the goose may not always be whatz good for the gander, eee saaaaaay! he he |
