NEVER DATE SOMEONE YOU WORK WITH, it's the biggest mistake you can do. you will be distracted from your job and your performance will slack and if the relationship fizzles you will hate your job. believe me it happened to me and now i can't even go back to that store again without thinking about that jerk.

I would never date somebody I work with. This is because I have already made that mistake once, and I won't do it again. If it doesn't go well, you still have to go into work and see them every day. It's hard.

I have dated people that i worked with but it was not very serious so it didn't ruin the work environment, but when i first started living with my daughter's father we both got offered the same job and I got the job and he didn't and it started a big fight!

Yes I would , it would only be a date not a relationship which could turn into something else.

No, I wouldn't. That's a little too much to handle. Relationships and work shouldn't mix.

I have, 3 or 4 times lol, not by choice. After the first time, I swore I wouldn't do it again. It's hard to manage though. I've always been able to seperate work/personal life if we had to work together, but the guys seem to have a hard time with that. They get weird lol.

I dated someone I worked with while I was a college student (he worked for the college, I was a student assistant). The whole relationship was just bad, overall, but it was fairly uncomfortable when it ended. I mean, we were still friendly, but just knowing that this guy knows me intimitaly and maybe might talk to his buddies, or my boss, always made me uncomfortable.

I have in the past and it doesn't work out. Even if you like eachother being together so much can be a bit to handle

i have and its worked ut so i would do it again i think it depends on where you work and how often you see each other i think it works better if you work in different departments rather than the same one as if one of you get promoted and become the others boss it get complicated and messy

Been there done that. NO, never again. It is like getting a divorce and having to work with your ex the rest of your life. Think very serious before you do because if the job is worth keeping for a lifetime you make have to live with that person many years.
