I don't think it's wrong ...been there done that but if things don't work out and you have a bitter ending, then, you have to see them all the time......and that's hard.......Yep, I said hard....

I think it depends on what sort of work place it is. If it's an office job where they sit near you, then I probably wouldn't as if you broke up, that's too close for comfort if you know what I mean? If it was say a post office and you dealt with the customers and he was the post man, then I would consider it, mainly as you aren't spending the whole day together.

Its very unhealthy. If the relationship does'nt go all the way..IE..marriage. Then there is a world of hurt coming if there is a split. You can't get away from that person. If its nasty..OOH..then yer in trouble..Office politics and people taking sides..thats real ugly. Sooner or later someone is going have to leave.
basically,,do you value the job..if you do..keep away from it.
Always ends in disaster when I date anyone connected with work. Either trouble with too much gossiping or we break up and it's uncomfortable still having to work with them so I usually end up leaving and going to work somewhere else. Biggest mistake I ever did was date one of married bosses, never again.
So, although it's maybe not wrong it doesn't alway turn out to be the right thing to do either.
It's not the dating that's the problem, it's what happens when the dating stops and you are still thrown together by work. And office gossip. Just saying be real sure and real careful.
