OFFICE ROMANCE: Do Office Romance Ever Work Out?
Dating someone from work is such a double-edged sword.
On one hand, it's natural to meet someone at the office: You automatically have things in common and feelings both good and bad are bound to develop when you spend so much time together in close spaces.
On the other hand, it can get super messy when one side breaks it off or when your romance becomes the subject of office gossip.
And yes, plenty of us have dated someone at the office: 4 percent of workers polled in a recent survey admitted dating someone from the office at least once. Surprisingly, certain industries seem to inspire more intra-office relationship for example Hospitality, Information Technology, Finance, Healthcare and professional services.
Amazingly, 30 percent of those involved in office romances end up getting married to their co-worker, so to answer your question YES IT CAN WORK OUT.
Sadly, my at-work relationship didn't end up quite so happy.True story. I once dabbled in a little office affair when I was working in a bank, Lawd have mercy it was exciting. those little getaways to that abandoned floor LMAO *pls dont judge me* and all those kisses when we are alone in the elevator. But sadly we dint work out in the end, sole problem was me :(.
The relationship was fine I just couldn't stand being the favourite gossip topic whenever I stepped foot in the office.
So yeah, that experience turned me off from dipping into the office dating pool again.
Not that I haven't thought about it..... multiple times.
Tell Us: Have you dated someone at the office? How did that work out?
Pls leave your comments ;)
