I don't find anything wrong with it. For as long as they could perform their tasks in the office they could do it. Also, as long as there are no commitments from outside of office i guess it's perfectly normal for them to date. I think it's worse if officemates would have a relationship that the other party is either married or committed with somebody outside of the office. That should not be allowed.

I wouldn't recomend it, in case things do not work out between the two of you it might make things akward in the workplace or you might start to find it hard to work with one another.

I think it depends on the company's policy. Some companies don't allow their employees to have a romance relationship in office. Other companies don't want husband and wife to work in the same department or office. In my personal opinion, as long as it doesn't interfere or affect our works, it should be fine. However, I've noticed if there is a break-up relationship, at least it will affect one's work performance.

It's can up the productivity but it can down your productivity. There is one "what if": What can happend with the productivity if the relation crash?

Dating or getting into a relationship with your office colleague can be both healthy and dangerous. Healthy because you tend to be more inspired when you work close with the person you love. Dangerous because people might take your relationship against you. In my workplace (or in most companies, i guess), romantic relationships are not encouraged. One reason is promotion. Employees here are promoted based on the quality of work performed and the evaluation of the immediate superior and colleagues. If your partner is one of those who will evaluate you, there's a risk that you'll get a biased evaluation (though of course, not everybody does that). So i have colleagues here who are not open about their relationships in order for them to avoid issues.

I think dating in workplaces is okay, but depending on the problem. For instant like if you two were to agrue and stuff and like is going to cause conflict and that not good for the enviroment. So somtime it is good and somtime it is bad. Really hard to explain so hope you enjoy this weekend and bye bye.
