If
you date and then break up, how comfortable are you going to feel in the same
workplace?
Are you or the person you want to date emotionally volatile? What would happen if you
had a fight at work?
Is this person discreet and trustworthy? If you tell them your secrets, will they tell
other people at work?
What are the policies where you work about dating someone you work with? Read those
carefully before you proceed.
* Keep your dating life under the radar.
Before you decide that you want to "go public" with your relationship, keep
your dates quiet and to yourselves. You will know within a reasonable amount of time if
this romance has a chance of growing into something lasting.
* Consider removing yourself from the same work place as the person you are dating.
Look into getting promoted, transferred, or finding another job, depending on what your
company policies are. Get a mentor or a coach to help you strategize what your choices are
and to help you implement a plan.
Are you ready for an office romance? It's complicated, it's challenging, and it's
risky. If you have your life relatively in order; if you are known to make good decisions;
and if you cannot deny that "something" is there between you, proceed with
caution. If it's love, it's worth it.
