Although it is often said that it is better not to start anything with people at work, chances are that you will meet someone you like there. It makes sense that attraction could blossom between people who work together for so many hours a week. If you are considering crossing the boundaries of personal and professional life, ask yourself the questions below first.
Why do you want to mix love and work?
Are you both single?
Are you both on the same page about starting something?
Are you on an equal footing, or one person has more power in the workplace, or possibly above the other?
How much do you both like and enjoy the office flirt, and do you both interpret this behavior in the same way?
What will be the consequences, if the relationship ends ?
Will you disclose the relationship, and if so, to whom?
How will flirting, sex or love affect productivity at work?
Will management have a role in the office affair?
Love at work could work, but can be complicated. Still, if both parties feel the same way and are aware of the potential consequences, it may be worth the risk.
