newmoon Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 just wanted to vent - I finally found out a few days ago about what people mean when they say women or men who date within the office get a bad reputation. I was dating a coworker in a steady/serious relationship for 2.5 years and we recently broke it off. another male coworker approached me after he heard about my break-up and made very overt moves and statements to me. I felt really cheap :-( and sad :-( because this guy obviously saw me as a workplace flirt/loose because I had dated someone from the office. I told him off and was seriously disgusted by him, which I said. now I know why women and men are advised against office romances ... never again, lesson learned Link to post Share on other sites
Kamila Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 True, true, true. But, romance is a force that is very hard to resist. There are the 'what if's', the curiosity about taking things further, the maybe missed opportunity of a relationship. But like you said, it's important to take into account the possibility that the relationship might end with all the negative consequences. I was lucky to leave the workplace once the relationship with my coworker got sour. I can't imagine myself working with him after all this. Link to post Share on other sites
