Default Dating on the job is not an option for me anymore....

Quote:
I would say that most affairs start at the workplace.

I am currently involved with a guy at work, different building, different department... we texted everyday and every evening.

He's married so the only time we can get together is during the day.

I also got involved I think one more time at work... that was a fling with a much younger guy.
What the heck, a married man! I was going to say something else about the part I put in bold but I might get banned from the site. Anyway, I did twice. The first one didn't work out. The second one is a nightmare. Me and the guy work in the same department, and works in a cubicle on row right next to me. It's been over for about 9 months now and this guy is still trying to get back with me. I don't know how many times I have to tell him I'm not into him, or how many phone calls and emails I have to ignore for him to get the point. I hope he gets it one day. In my opinion, work place romances are a disaster, well at least for me. I'm suprised to see so many post on here of people who had successful relationships. That's great! I'm glad it worked out for you, as for me, I will never do it again.

Default I did once

Many years ago I was freshly divorced, a girl who worked in the same building I did was getting a divorce, so we had us a little fling for awhile there. I guess it was kinda fun for awhile there, but we both knew that it would never evolve into anything but just what it was; a fling. Long story short here, we ended the deal but remained friends. She stayed with her husband for about two more years, then divorced him. She is remarried now to a different guy and appears to be happy. We remain friends, but seldom see each other anymore except maybe run into each other in a store or something. By and large, I dont recommend workplace romances. And in closing, let me say that Ive never been one to mess with married women. But, she said at the time, that she had already filed for divorce, and also she was the one who initated our little deal. I do hope she is now happy though!

Have you had workplace romance?

Did it work out?
I did when I was 19. My then boyfriend ended up cheating on me with my co-workers (yes, there was more than one girl he was fooling around with). Since then, I have made it a rule to never do it again. So, guys would hit on me and I would say, "I don't date people I work with." What's a guy going to say to that? Kept me from having to say... "no... not interested."

I did a few years ago with a guy who was a manager in another department. We were together for 3 years. We did well together, but the drama involved in keeping the relationship under wraps got to be too much for me... he had already gotten in trouble once before for dating a woman at work. It is definitely an easy way to meet people...what I don't understand is people who get involved and then end up married or living together. That is just waaaay too much time together for me.
