Being at your job is important and finding love is important but what if you find love at work? Many wonder if it is appropriate to have an affair at work. The problem is that these kinds of relationships can be fun and exciting, but they also can end up dangerous for both partners. Just think of how many office relationships ended bad.
Good and Bad
Being in love at work can be both good and bad. This can be good at first but what happens if the relationship ends, and someone gets their feelings hurt? This can end up causing a lot of drama at work.
Mutual Feelings
Being in love with someone at work can be an exciting thing but you need to make sure that the other person has the same feelings. If you meet someone that loves you too, that is amazing but if they don’t and they reject you, you have to let this go and not get upset about it.
Causing someone at work trouble because they reject you can end up causing you to lose your job.
Office Rules
It is important to make sure that your office allows there to be office romance. Some have policies that stop this kind of thing. If you know that you aren’t going against any kind of policy, let your heart do the talking.
Be Professional
When you are at work, you need to make sure that you are dealing with work things. Don’t let your love and your work get mixed up. You need to make sure that you are keeping your personal life and your professional life separate. This can be hard to do when you really like someone, and you want to be around them and flirt.
Are You Distracted?
Does the person that you are dating make your heart swoon? Do they distract you when you walk into the room? Make sure that you are doing your job and that your partner isn’t getting in the way of doing your job appropriately.
Gossip
People love to gossip, especially at work. Make sure that you are ready to face office gossip when you find a new love at work. Chances are that you will hear a lot of things about you and your partner if you are in a place where you have co-workers.
What Happens if Things Go Sour?
If the relationship ends up not working out, are you ready to face that? Having an office affair can end bad and if it does, you have to still go to work. Make sure that you are going to be ready and able to go back to work even if your affair ends badly.
