Workplace dating

Mixing business with pleasure is a dangerous bet and office romances are risk-laden from the word go. Yet surveys reveal that 74 % of all office workers have dated a co-worker and an equally substantial number are interested to do so. It is easy for romance to bloom when you are thrown together for long hours and have similar interests and leisure periods. So you may have fallen in love with her beside the photocopier and she may have flipped for your computer skills, but both of you must weigh a number of considerations before you start dating.

It is believed that more than half of the young adult population spends more than three-fourth of their waking life in their office or workplace. Sitting within the cloistered space called the office leave these young people with hardly anytime to socialize or date. Their wait for the weekend to arrive to meet their girlfriends or lover, often seems long stretched and tiresome. It’s almost like you are in a long distance relationship though you and your girlfriend live in the same town for all purposes! Not surprisingly, there is a sudden spurt in office dating and romance.

Despite all the stress that people encounter at their workplace, dating and office romance have steadily increased over the past few years.
