Check your contract of employment if it does not forbid dating please enjoy the journey life is to be lived. To be i'll say is perfectly ok but you need to be more matured when at the office and avoid any situation that will seem more favourable to the partner in question

Office affairs will be fun when it starts but could be catastrophic if one of the party is the possessive type. for me office bed mate will be cool, relationship NO WAY  Grin

woe betide you should you try to date (or in a relationship with ) a colleague a senior member of staff is eyeing or interested in.  Grin

I am against office dating, for if you break up , I believe the pain will be heightened by the fact that you have to look at that person in close proximity.  Co-workers will know you are no longer an item and watching you both to see how you deal with it.  The emotional drama will probably be too much to deal with.

Against.  Too much gossip and majority of the
relationships never lead to anything permanent - just short-term flings

Am totally against it because i can't imagine myself dating my fellow staff or my boss , what for.  i mean that's not fair, they re so many guys out there to date so why must i be having an affair with my boss. Ok what if at the end of the day the relation flup, don't u think my job is not secured.

I don't see anything wrong with office dating. Everyone should rather be careful to find out if its agaisnt company policy or rules. But if it is allowed, then carry go.
Personally, since my college days back in Nigeria, i made it a personal rule never to date within the same circles ie, no classmates, no co-workers, and persons in same club. Thats personal though.

I am new to this site and happened upon it when I was searching for Naija Cooking Shows.  I am unsure how I would handle the situation mentioned, but I should think the best thing to do would be to bow out as gracefully as I could although I had already compromised myself.  If need be I would entertain the thought of departmental transfer.  But if the transfer wasn't forthcoming, then I would be up the creek.

I work in a multinational that encourages "in-sourcing" and a number of my colleagues are happily (i guess) married to each other (neither can be the other's oga at work)---
However, personally? i don't think I'd do it. For a whole gamut of reasons. Besides the fact that marriage is constantly in danger of getting bo-o-oring, in short, money issues, performance issues, ego issues, your colleagues professional and personal opinions---issues!!!

Its a no no for me .
I will feel as if I live in a box, no variety as per gist and experiences, we see ourselves every minute, Sounds Veeeeeeery boring. but frankly if the 2  parties are comfy about it why not? Afterall one man's meat,

Personally, it's a big NO!!! I think it may not be healthy for the organization and also for the parties involved. If smthin goes wrong,  trust me, it's going to be the topic of the month!!  Grin

i am totally against it because i just fell a victim recently.my girlfriend dumped me for someone in her working place just because of the closeness they were having with each other.the worst of this is that this madness is happening in a bank.i wont say she is doing it for the money because i still earn far more than the both of them.its just lust to me because i don't see why u can claim u are working and that your mind is on your job and u can still have time to enter a relationship especially when you have a boyfriend that is ready to take u down the aisle at anytime.i am totally against it.its crazy

two people in one office can date because i know that a guy can be in the same office with his wife and they will still concentrate in their work so with two young lovers, infact in my office i had one like that and they work perfectly well together until one resigned because of their wedding. so you see you can find your missing rib any where even in the same office.

if you go against office dating on the bases that it wont last then i tell you u should not date at all,

if you go against it on the bases that its immoral then you don't need to date at all, that makes dating in it sence immoral.

if you want to date, Date, if you don't want to don't but don't tell me you have a reason for or not dating k it just so sucks especially not dating cause you are in the same office.

What if the whole world is one big office wouldnt you still date.


but if you are a player or an hypocrite pretendint to love when you don't then please don't have an office date its just not for you.

It's okay. Disadvantage: If the relationship düesn't work out, you would have to face the nightmare of having to see each other everyday at the office

Office dating truly it not wrong, because love is unpredictable, it can come from anywhere, but it is dangerous, it can spoil all u had ever worked for your whole life "listen to the word of the elders"

be careful while u are at it  Wink "big deal dey there o!" Cool
