Now here's a short story.
A single and not unattractive young woman works for an organisation. A few months after joining the organisation, she meets a male colleage, a superior. Sparks fly, they decide to date and as many relationships go,irrespective of the environment,it ended not so long afteer. The young woman in question, has been labelled all sorts in the orgasnisation simply because she dated a co-worker. Now she's said to be loose and spoilt and what not.
I have heard these things happen. Indeed, many people have found partners in their places of work. Some have led to marriage and others have not, again, as is the case with any relationship.
Here's what gets me. Why does the woman get to bear all sorts of silly side talk and the man, no one notices him. How does one conclude that a woman is bad because she dated a co-worker, especially when the said relationship does not end in marriage? In reality, dating someone you have to see at home and at work, with other people looking on and waiting for the "outcome" (since they do not have lives of their own), can take its toll on a relationship.Not many people are able to handle this pressure. Bearing that in mind, is it wrong to date a colleage? Do you decide to not try with someone who you think may be good for you solely because you work together?
Personally, I think it's a personal decison that should take the same kind of thought and consideration it would when a boy meets a girl outside of work. It may not be an overly smart idea but then, who's to say what will be? It should not concern who ever else works in the organisation except the comapany has a rule against it. As for the simple minded folk who are bitter and dissatisfied with their own lives and have made it their duty to watch and wish others ill, well, they should probably spend more time fixing their lives and there just might be a chance of them being happy.

You have made some great points and this topic is quite different as always and i absolutely love the versatility you have adopted in your postings. Office romance is one controversy that just won't go away. Trash talking at the office on the topic of dating is like another topic in the grapevine (Rumorville) that must be talked about. The workplace is where some people come alive; i guess we cannot blame them much uhn? Personally, i see nothing wrong with office romance; however it must be carried on in a professional manner while at work. We are all know what the pitfalls of Office romance could be; nasty attitudes from both parties if the relationship doesn't work, loss of the job, law suits, and much more. Who knows where love might find us or where we might find love; we shouldn't limit ourselves outside the walls of the workplace alone. My prince charming might be just a cubicle away!
Honestly, I see nothing wrong with office romance, that's if you can keep it from your responsibilities at work and please be sure to know what H R says about it.
I have been in office romance before and I enjoyed every bit of it. People must talk there nothing we can do about it so I'll say have other reasons to turn down the co worker and not just because he is a co worker.
Truth is office romance might require more caution and that can be energy sapping, not many people can deal with the break up when if it happenes when you have to see the person daily.
So I'll say enjoy what is sweet and manage bitter/not so sweet when it or if it comes
Don't see anything wrong in an office romance,the question is what is respobsible/acceptable conduct for an office romance,*responsible* is relative, ladies can be labeled in the office for looking for love in one too many male colleagues, and a *decent* lady can be one that got it right with the 1st guy.
