Never been tempted despite a couple advances being made by coworkers (and one boss). I have to have my personal and professional spheres non-overlapping.

4. "Was fucking one and dating another at the same time." In response to Reply # 0
Nobody knew me and the one chick were fucking, she really wanted to make a relationship out of it but I simply wasn't interested in that with her. At the time 80% of my job was basically tracking lost mortgage files within the office so I had to talk to people all the time. I would stop by her desk to kick it and set shit up for her to fall through and nobody batted an eye at it.
The other chick everyone knew about. We were always together in the office. The fuck buddy was kinda pissed about it but still kept coming over anyways.
In the end they both got fired. I never dated anyone in the office after that even though the offers to go out never stopped.

Even if you attempt to keep things on the up and up/ professional, competitive folks will have a leg to stand on if they question your motives or interactions with the coworker you're seeing.
16. "that depends on the office." In response to Reply # 13
there are plenty offices where coworkers dating is not a problem at all. i've worked in an office where my boss was married to my supervisor. no one there had a leg to stand on if they complained about coworkers dating.

it worked out fine. none of the relationships had lasting power and there was no drama or weirdness when they ended. and in some cases the esx was good too.
18. "once, she worked in a different location tho" In response to Reply # 0
found her and another chick in the company directory (lol) other chick had a man but we chatted on the internal IM and went to lunch often, still don't count that one though
Company party last Labor Day. Open bar. Everyone works in the industry so drinks and shots are flowing like crazy. Got pretty tipsy. Next thing I know, I'm dancing up on one of my coworkers and giving him The Eye. And we're inching closer and closer to each other's faces when we kissed. And continued kissing. In front of everyone.
I had a firm "I don't mess with coworkers" rule I'd managed to have no issue with for years until that moment. The next day was incredibly awkward at work and I was having all sorts of existential crises and shit, all compounded by the fact he was also the youngest guy I'd ever connected with. Somehow he convinced me to give him a chance despite all my initial misgivings. I was happy I gave him a chance. We had a great courtship and we fell in love. To this day, it was the best relationship I've ever been in. Unfortunately he died of still unknown causes while I was on vacation at the start of this year. I often wonder how things might've progressed with him.
My current job a handful of guys in different departments have tried to holla. One might could get it in the right setting. Actually saw one on Soul Swipe and laughed. Oddly he's been really nice to me since then. I swiped left, but maybe he saw me first?

21. "teal. we are married." In response to Reply # 0
hotels man.
they are a breeding ground for co-worker dating. i mean, my wife ended up being the last one, obviously...but before her i dated probably 6 or 7 other women who worked with me (including a manager).
the one before my wife i was sure i was gonna marry...so, some were just casual/hooking up, but obviously a couple were serious.
the craziest dude at our job was this night auditor dude though. he was in his early forties, played in a lightly popular local rock band and he and his wife were swingers. soooooo, as you can imagine when you have a hotel just blocks from the biggest college campus in the state, you get a lot of young, pretty girls that ended up working there. this guy, because he was a swinger so he had that pass, would straight up tell girls who worked there about him and his wife and would proposition them either to smash solo or do threesomes with him and his wife.
how did i find this out? my girl who worked there that i was dating at the time told me that he holla'd at her. i found it funny and she had zero interest. crazy thing was that 3 or 4 girls that i know of took the bait either with him or him and his wife. he would even smash them in the rooms because he was the night auditor (11pm - 7am) so no one is around so it's easy to put a room out of order and leave the desk for 5-15 mins w/out it being an "issue."

Dude already said he has a problem and will prolly get killed by someone's BF or husband.
The guy with the desk next to him.. he is smashing his wife. What's even crazier is that guys wife is also smashing other dudes at the job.
smh... nothing good can come from this but he is in a zone right now.

you have either totally gorgeous, unattainable TV people or 50-year-old white men with halitosis that can knock you over if you don't brace yourself. i shouldn't say that. there are a couple black dudes with really bad breath, too.
there is one girl at work i would love to bang but she is really weird and mousey. she hangs with this 50-something guy and she is like a small child around him. like leaving the locker room she will tap him on the shoulder and make sure they walk out together, like a buddy system. really weird.
i did schtup one female reporter and one time i made out with a chick on the copy desk but in both cases we were just wasted, wasn't an ongoing thing.
when i used to teach occasionally i'd bang one of my students' friends but never the students themselves. in hindsight this was kind of a mistake because i had a contract where they couldn't really fire me for two years and i hadn't planned to stay any longer. oh, but i did the moral thing, right?
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

that 10 hot dogs for every bun ratio is real in the navy not to mention 9 x out of 10, the buns are 2/10's or trailer park status (2/10: 2 in the real world, 10 in the navy) after I got out I kept that mentality
36. "I married one of my co workers" In response to Reply # 0
when I started she was my boss. That changed after about 6 months we became equals. She showed interest and we started dating. We dated for about 3 months while working in the same building and it was horrible. Her desk was in my warehouse and we worked almost the exact same hours. So we were around each other way to much. She ended up taking a position in another store and things got much better. I think work relationships end up bad more often than good. She always tells people the opposite. But I never recommend it to others.
