Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by MiKenny(f): 6:01pm On Nov 11, 2010 |
Have you ever dated a co-worker? What happened? |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by kokoye(m): 6:05pm On Nov 11, 2010 |
Not good. we didnt really date . .we were just friends with benefits. But after all the craziness and her 'newness' died down and we stopped shagging, she started showing me. She tried everything possible to make my life miserable. I actually thot of quitting but then she got fired cos she was caught watching porn at work. Bottomline, it becomes nasty when you break up and have to see or work the person everyday still. Especially if the breakup was not honestly mutual |

I dated a lady in the office and she started behaving like she owned me. I couldn't say hi to anybody else and she wanted to |

Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by Nobody: 2:54am On Nov 12, 2010 |
For me is a no and NO. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by Tinksh(f): 3:03am On Nov 12, 2010 |
No!!! Here there are very tight rules for that and if it turns bad either of them could get into a sexual harrassment mess!! Sexual harrassment laws here are very tight for the slightest thing. Soooooo not worth it!! Plenty of people outside the work place. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by Nobody: 3:08am On Nov 12, 2010 |
It's not worth it, You gotta be careful around women in the workplace. They can mess you up for real & for life. Here, if you notice how these things usually go, it's always the woman that decides to start acting like an immature little runt when things turn sour. They generally find it harder to remove emotion from it. The unstable, flea-ridden harpies that some of them are. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by jneo(m): 6:53am On Nov 12, 2010 |
yes and no. yes in the sense that i have seen it work a lot of times in my office.e.g. my former flatmate got married to his colleague in d office and they are still married. and no in that i hav witnessed it get really messy. the girl was over bearing and d guy called it quits then all hell was let loose. she had to be threatened with a sack b4 she simmered down. the bottomline is dat it depends on d maturity of the two parties. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by segzicres(m): 7:04am On Nov 12, 2010 |
damn!!!i've always wanted to do office sex |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by Nobody: 7:30am On Nov 12, 2010 |
I would say its a big No No (my opinion though), tried it 1 time not knowing the big bosses had their eyes on her, to sum the whole thing it turned out not to be a very good experience, we were both transfered, i to a very remote location(offshore) wer i cldnt even call 4 three whole weeks, she to the bosses office as he's assistant, so your guess is as good as mine who got the babe at the end. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by SALady(f): 9:30am On Nov 12, 2010 |
I'd say people should stay away from office romance. Personally I woundnt want my colleagues knowing whats happening in and out of my life. Iprefer to keep my business and private life separate. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by SAGoddess: 9:37am On Nov 12, 2010 |
Office romance is only for mature individuals, some people can be vindictive and childish when the relationship ends, totally unnecessary and immature! |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by denony(m): 9:42am On Nov 12, 2010 |
i never fancy the idea, not only in the office but my residence area. i am very secretive , that people kept wondering the kind of human i am. I don't operate where i am well known |

segzi cres: It could be fun but never get caught! Coolabbie: Familiarirty could also breed fondness you know and fondness could breed love! It isnt that bad!!! |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by marjo: 3:46pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
I personally would not date a colleague or anyone who stays too close to me eg. same neighbourhood, if in school ( same faculty/dept) or in a place where we can bump into each other ever so often . It has been a policy of mine and has worked well - now i am married. Such relationships rarely end well and the lady is more often than not on the losing end as the guys usually move on faster and leave the girl feeling used. I also think that ladies get too clingy and emotional and don't know how to separate the relationship from the office setting. its usually the ladies that let everyone in on what is going on. I think it pains women more when the relationship has reached the sexual stage. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by CArt(m): 3:51pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
@OP, NO to office romance.The end of such relationship is always bitter. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by Wumine(f): 4:17pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
CArt: I stongly disagree with you on this. The end is not always bitter, there are some with happy endings you know! I agree that it is risky but what is life without risk, boring i say. Honestly, if i fancy a hot guy in my office and he feels the same way, why not? Abeg abeg abeg, i only get to live once! |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by CArt(m): 4:30pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
Wumine:From experience 75% of such relationship never ended well.There is no enough space for expression and manipulation. There is never a total freedom. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by EkeLucky: 4:51pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
Its absolutely NO to office romance.Its the highest point of irresponsibility. Any man that does it is not a responsible guy. |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by pewekac: 7:02pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
experience has taught me this: 1) most ogas/bosses engage in this on an aristo levels; while most junior staff/young guys just do it to catch fun with all the IT and temporal staff babes. ditto for the chicks, just catching fun 2) a lot of female bankers are surprisingly pro-this; most especially operations staff. they believe since they spend all their life in the banking hall it presents the best possibility of catching and keeping a husband material. |

its just gonna make you less productive and careful; if you must romance let it be with your office work |
Re: Office Romance: Yes Or No To Dating A Co-worker? by playette4u: 8:42pm On Nov 12, 2010 |
Office romance can be fun if you have clear boundaries from the beginning.The fear of being caught and the fact that the affair and everything it represents is wrong,just adds to the fun factor!If my boss is available and i was attracted to him and i got the vibes he liked me too,i would definitely make my move in a subtle way,without triggering a sexual harassment case! |
