Dating a co-worker?
Posted on 16 October 2008
What do you guys think, is dating your co-work okay? I personally think it is okay to date your fellow co-worker, but I personally would not do it, because I just feel like I would need my space away from him. Seeing him every day at work and often outside of work, I feel like I would need my space. When and if the couple breaks up, whether if it’s a good beak up or a bad one, it depends on how the couple are going to handle the situation, but for instance if it is a bad breakup, how are they going to deal seeing each other every day and if one party still has feeling for the other, how is he or she going to deal with the other person when he or she sees the other person with someone else. It’s going to hurt I know.
I guess it’s because I have two co-workers who had been dating for the last year and few months, they both work in the same unit and few time has to interact with each other. The girlfriend is in my department and sits next to me, the boyfriend sits couple rows down who is in the old department I used to work for and still help out once in a while. Well the boyfriend had recently broke it off with her and just seeing her the way she is at the moment having to deal with him at work and trying to keep her emotion at bay is a little difficult when I work with both of them and know the truth behind the breakup. I thought it was hard to do what she is doing, having to watch him interact with another girl laughing and joking, while she on the other hand is trying to get over him. I just feel like it’s not helping her to try to get over him while working together.
I guess it was just a random thought that I wanted to let out. I do very much fell extremely bad for her since the new girl works with us as well, but in this case, I can’t help her but be a friend.

I guess it’s all how you look at it. I use to say the same thing too. I’d never date someone at work.. But you know what that is where people spend most of their time. And when you meet that someone that your heart wants doesn’t matter where you met him/her. Your heart will want what it wants. That’s how I met my husband was at work and we’ve been together for 10 years now.. And no we only worked together for a little while at the same place. I’d have to agree can’t see him 24/7 that would drive both of us crazy. As for your friend; feel sorry for her..All you can do is just keep doing what you are doing be a friend.
I wouldn’t date a co-worker either.
Too much of a headache. If I was your friend I would find someone else as well.
Nothing helps better than someone new to forget someone old!! Belive me it’s tested and FDA approved!
I’m not too good with these kinds of subject, as far as dating goes, cause I didn’t do much dating when I was younger.
However, I think if it feels right, if you feel like he’s the guy for you, and if you guys have a connection, then go for it. If somehow, you end up breaking it off, then you’d deal with it like how you deal with other dilemmas in life.
If you just brush it off thinking he’s only a co-worker, then you may end up losing out on something that could be real; cause what if he was Mr. Right? Your soulmate? So you’ll never know until you’ve tried right?
