Good Idea or bad Idea?

Personally, I think its a bad idea. Relationships are a personal endeavor, and its hard not to let the personal baggage bleed over into the professional. But I'm interested in what other people think.

(and yes, this does have some bearing on my own life at present wink)

Serious bad idea. If things end badly, it gets very awkward when you have to see the person every day at work. If things are going good, it can turn them bad because there is such thing as spending too much time together. You end up getting on each other's nerves. I'd avoid it all costs!

Never had luck with it myself... Never had it really backfire either. My only advice would be go slow, and be 100% truthful might hurt more at the time but usually less in the long run. JMO

I am getting too old to say don't try. When you are my age you can't passs up opportunitiesrolling on the floor laughing

Best of luck to you manwave cheers

Well Squidward, I try not to date people I work with. Break ups get even messier when you do. It's really up to you what you decide.

Depends on the job.
In my small town everyone knows each other anyway so if you date someone at work it's kind of like "Isn't that sweet. We knew they'd make a good couple."
But I can see how one working in a prestigious position or something may want to avoid dating co-workers.

Probably want to avoid dating people at work if the business if family owned and operated! lol

well that remark was inevitable

work has been ok as in production you arent together much
to flirt pulically
and everyone flirts w/ everyone so rumors
are that everyone is doing everyone anyway-

my big thing is never in the same apartment building

took me a couple times to realize that was not a good idea

confused

Cool glad I could be the originator of your new nickname! Squidward is definitely much better than "The Imp"!

The Imp was good too. I've mellowed out on my pranks the last few years, so its not as appropriate as it used to be...grin devil
