Every adult spends utmost 8-9 hours a day at their workplace, so it is usual for one to become close to their co-workers and even in some cases even fall in love.
Dating a co-worker places one in a situation that they should analyze very well.
Seeing someone with whom you work in the same establishment is both appropriate and inappropriate, depending on the establishment in question.
Knowing this, here are some guidelines you should keep in mind before starting a relationship with that person.
Are they willing to date a Co-worker?
The first thing is you have to be sure the person you’re attracted to is ready to date a co-worker.
While you may have no problem doing it, they may not like it, and if there’s a conflict there, the relationship is likely to not last.
Will it affect your working life?
Since both of you work together, chances are that sometimes you want to do your work quickly so you can go out with him/her for a walk or lunch during your free time. Do not do that! You can be wrong and cause others to think it’s their fault.
Identify if it is allowed
In some places they don’t let their workers have romantic relationships with each other, so investigate your office situation well before falling in too deep.
Ensure it is not an illusion
Remember that if things do not work or if they take a turn for the worst, there is a likeliness that tension will occur. Watch out!
Remember that they are in your work centre
Since the office is a professional, yet public environment, you’ll most likely have work-related trouble because of your relationship.
