How do you know when it’s OK to date a coworker?

Cupid’s Advice:

Dating a co-worker can be a sticky situation.  But, you never know when love might strike and sometimes it’s at work.  Here are some guidelines to follow:

1. Make sure you are one the same level: Dating your boss or someone senior to you is never a good idea because of the unhealthy amount of power they have over you in your professional life. If you are really falling for one another, one of you should really leave the company before anything serious begins.

2. Make sure it doesn’t interfere with work: If a relationship in the office is too distracting for you, then it’s not worth it.

3. Make sure your co-workers are comfortable: Nothing is worse than a workplace romance disrupting the office dynamic. If you decide to pursue a relationship, make sure your co-workers are okay with it.

    I think Neil Diamond and Katie McNeil’s love relationship will work. They’ve been working together for many years and it is not a bad idea to change their relationship status if tying the knot is what they both wanted.

    Inter-office romance is not bad if they will put it in a decent manner and as long as it won’t affect their duties at the office and professionalism at work.
