Office Romance.... Advantage - Love At Work

I met 2 of my serious boyfriends at the job. One i was with for 5 years and the other I am still with now. I was 17 when I met the first guy and it wasn't weird cause by the time we actually got serious, I didn't work there anymore. The second one, well he got me pregnant so I quit that job after a while.

I agree, It's no good for your relationship to be 24-7 together.

I don't see office romance as advantage. I think professionals find it easy and convenient to date someone who has similar qualifications, similar jobs, similar lifestyle. That way they see one side of the personality , but to really get to know him one has to date and hang out like regular couples. and discoer other facets of their personality. i think more pubs, cool hangouts, places to hangout should be there to frequent at all times so couples whenever they are free can havea blast and connect emotionally like a regular couple. Personally i feel end of day personal and professional life should be kept separate asd you wouldn't like to mix both as if one goes wrong , it can affect other too.

Office romance is getting popular coz of the fact that professionals spend most of thier day's time in office and in such case they can hardly spend any time with people outside...and thier collegues are more understanding in terms of stress in thier office and mutual understanding leads to stuff like this

I really dont believe that. Even my boy friend used to work with me. We always wanted to be the best. So we never used talk about anything personal in the office. We always worry about what is our stats and how can we grow inside the company. thats all. We go for smoking together, breaks together. But never thought of romance. Work will always be better when you are satisfied with it and like it. The only adavntage when both are at the same place of work is, you will what are they doing to each other. you will get to understand more. Disadvantage, if any one of them is possessive, then your life will become very sensitive, Miserable too.

office romance between two unattached people is fine; but when it happens to people with outside commitment poses a problem. Sometimes even unattached people creates tension in the office especially when the relationship sours. so i say its not an advantage.

it si neer a good idea to date someone at work aas office romances usuallyhave a way of blowiung up on your face!

I've had a girlfriend before at the office.. we enjoy leaving the office and eating at the same time.. communication obviously is never been a problem.. but i agree with you that we need to have some space between each other.. otherwise the excitement will eventually fade away..

I agree with you. I think if you had a life out of work seperately, like hanging out with friends and stuff. It wouldn't be so bad. But if you wake up with that person, stay with them all day then go to bed with them at night. That might be alittle to much time together. Sometimes even when you don't work together but you come home afterwards everyday then you get tired of each other alittle. It's always good to have something different in your life.

Even I love Office Romance. Love at work is very advantageous either.

I think romance at work is not a professional,its affect working and enverioment of the office. Its stat groupping in the office.

Sometimes we need to consider many facts before we going on an office romance. It is not just like being as easy and simple as that. Most people will say that " Don't eat and sh*t in the same place ". If we able to manage the relationship well then it is good, but if we can't manage it well then it will be a very bad experience for us or our partner. The space between a couple depend on how you manage your time that you spend with your partner. If you make an agreement before you start the relationship, then it will be a better idea than just start a relationship blindly.

yes and what is the work romance doesnt last you have to still see that person every day or what if the he just tries to get it on with all the girls at the office.you must be very careful before starting a romance at work.i know all too well.

advantage is that u can see him/her everyday a major disadvantage is that if u break up..u still have to see them everyday !!!

which ever you said its correct more responsibitily

Other than the immediate thrill, I am fairly confident that there is no advantage to an office romance. Only disaster!

I feel that there is nothing wrong to be in love with our colleague. I had seen too many examples in my current and previous company too. Most of them work out fine. But there are cases where it is highly inappropriate. If you are dating with your superior, it should be avoid, coz it will affect his/her dicision when come to promotion/work load allocation. People will feel not fair even if it's fair. Even if it's a fair decision, you will feel not enough with it, coz you might feel that your lover is not siding you. This is how conflict comes in. Besides, dating with colleagues or boss who already had a family is totally a wrong thing to do as well. You will eventually got into trouble. Either his/her spouse is after you or you will feel he is not taking care of you enough. (he will be with his family when there is an occation like xmas instead of being with you). So unhealty relationship like this could hardly last long.

I guess office romance just brings scandals with it. Moreover, There are certain people who try to create mis understandings and keep telling negative things to the committed couple every other day. I don't think office romance is a good idea.

I was working in a call center.. and I was dating one of the girl in our team.. we were in love and then suddenly everything started going wrong.. like we were not able to concentrate on our work.. our scores came low.. which never did in past 2 yrs... and then we were put back into retraining..
