Guys/gals: would you avoid dating someone at work, even if you have known this person for a while?? What will make you go ahead and ask him/her out or are you afraid that things won't work out at the end ???
Thanks for your insights.
A good thing about dating a coworker is you get to see an awful lot of him/her.
A bad thing about dating a coworker is that you see each other too much and talk about work too much.
I've seen it end up in marriage and end up a failure.
on the other hand, what better way to get to know someone and really know if you want to get involved with them, than by seeing their ins and out every day in their element?

Meh, if you have known them and worked with them for years, why not?
Its kind of like taking a chance, with every dating scene.
I would never date a co-worker. I keep business and pleausere totally seperate. If you date a co-worker and it works out than you get sick of seeing each other one day or another. No matter what everyone needs their space. If it doesn't work out than you feel weird and uncomfortable all the time. I knew a guy who got involved with a girl in every company he worked for and it never worked out.

Spouse and I are coming up on our 25th wedding anniversary. We met at work, hung out together for a couple of years without 'formally' dating, then decided to give the real thing a try.
We didn't interact much at work because our respective positions were busy and stressful, but did work in the same department for 8 years after we married. The one thing we never talked about after hours was work, which is much different today, working for different companies. We've had to concentrate on not dumping work problems on one another.
I won't say that such relationships never work - ours is certainly a good one - but they do take rules, boundaries and a discussion before hand on how you will deal with the possibility of a breakup.
