I don't think the relationship will last.
I know what I'm saying here.
If eventually both of you are knitted together by the nuts of love, its just a matter of time................................

I once dated a colleague. Or rather she dated me, because she didd all the toasting and who was I to say no? I was actually leaving that job for another one so theere was no complications.

We did stay together for a while but after I discovered some stuff about her, it purely became  physical on my part, not that she minded though. And I can confirm that all the stuff and wharreffa you have heard about calabar/ akwa ibom girls are damn right.They sure put you through a wringer. But that isint a bbad thing

The memories..................

To be frank is not advisable. because there are so many things involved here you can,t bear to see him or her talk to another girl or boyin the office without geting jealous.

i don't feel office romance is comfortable wit me because there will be no privacy,respect for each other ie among d couples involved because outsiders will like 2 know wats happening especially if theres a quarrel

"You are the fire that burns the passion within my soul."


"Love is the passion that u guys feel inside of ur hearts that u  can't hide. u pretend to hide it, but it burns u more and more until the pain grows and grows and it never ends."

"Be patient wild eyes.Soon will come a storm to tame ULet ur winds surround him. Match him fury and let fires reign.There is no escape.Nature means what he does

I don't think it is a right thing to do because there's no how jealousy wont come up.As a lady/guy,there's no hw u wont have someone to admire u n for d fact dt u have a girl/guy there wont give u d free chance of interactin with others(since u wouldntwant him/her to be thinkin about sth else.)So i believe one wont be free.
But for those dt can handle it well,success!!!

one of the best adventures you can ever have.Company policy or no policy ,the most important thing is your modus operandi.if you want to date a colleague and enjoy the relationship,you have to plan your strategies;1.Don't date anybody that would kiss and tell
2.Don't change your attitude to-wards him/her at the office
3.Work out a code of communication while in the mist of other colleague
4.Don't question attachment to other colleagues.
for those looking for how to start it,my advise is that you should start by complementing.This way other colleagues wouldn't know especially in an organization with policy.Lunch is no go area,others would see your destination before you start. Good luck.

though it depends on the parties involved, but generally it shuold not be encouraged. There are bound to be frictions and stress for both parties. what happens if you are no longer interested in the person or you suspect someone else of being interested in your partner.

a busy company would not allow it since both parties might loose concentration due to their private affairs. what if she annoys you and still you're supposed to work together. so many reasons it's not proper. but to be factual, love is love. anyone can fall in d situation helplessly

I don't SEE ANYTHING WRONG IN DATING A COLLEAGUE BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH MATURITY BECAUSE THE ORGANISATION MUST NOT SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE .IF YOU CAN HIDE YOUR EMOTIONS IN THE OFFICE ,I WOULD ADVICE YOU NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN IT

Noone seems to have asked this question... why can't a teacher marry his student? (In advance countries of course)

Because it is unethical. So is dating a colleague!

Office romance as far as am concern shouldn't be encouraged, because apart from bringing yourself low it also gives you a feeling of insecurity and all that. Especially if the relationship never work out eventually.....................then you'll feel used.

Woouh! Just wait a minute. I have been in a management position and saw what happened when you have a husband and a wife work in the same company. Bad things occur, sometimes.

Each person becomes preoccupied with the affairs of the other and leaves the company's business undone. Couples become too protective of each other on the job. What happens at home, good or bad, is prolonged at work. If they had a fight last night at home, they continue that at work. If they were teamed up to complete an assignment on the job, imagine what happens to the work at hand when one is not speaking to the other. Jealous partners spoil harmony on the job too. It is hard for some partners to watch other guys or women flirting with their best halves.

I am afraid, it is not that feasible for two individuals to fall in love on the job. There are issues affecting the company too that must be worked out before either says "I do".

With kind regards,

ALHAMBRA

Office romance- fun but risky. In good taste its just best to avoid office romance.
What happens when it end in bad blood?
U r going to be putting ur job and ur colleagues in a very uncomfortable position. If u can help it don’t get involved with someone in ur office. Trust me, u don’t want to be the topic of everybody’s conversation.

Well although there´s nothing wrong to date someone that you feel free and happy with. I think it wouldn´t be the best idea to date a colleague, why? because you are not going to have the chance to miss him you guys are going to see each other every day, and if the relationship doesn´t work out you will still have to see him, it can be a little difficult to deal with you know? Huh

Its all about acting and covering ur tracks very well!!!!!!!!
Office romance energises work, increase productivity and helps to work late hmnnnnnn
u dress exceptionally well expecting hmnnnnnnnnn the compliments, on d phone that is!
, d phone bitsoh i remember the codes 143, the expectations and the feeling that love is always close
the secret text messages and notes, the early morning smiles and chuckles,
the late night's good bye kisses, the roses and flowers,
and when u travel for training and cobferences ,,,,,,,,,,,,its honeymoon paid for by the company ,
u behave nicely knowing ur babe is around
no flying off d handle or office conflicts, theres always a check
u re always well taken care of and u get mystery gifts ,
give it a trial , its worth experiencing but draw the boundaries,
no long thing in d office toilet, I am for ofice romance anyday
all d best
