smg15 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) another woman at the job? I can see women giggling it about at the job even though they are on the site too. I noticed two coworkers so far on a certain dating site which is a FIRST for me. I have never come across any coworker on any dating site on any of my previous jobs. And of course this would be the site I am getting a lot of messages on lol Edited January 10, 2015 by smg15
bene Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Personally I wouldn't because this is their private life and I wouldn't want anyone giggle in the coffee corner about my private life. Of course some girls might bring it up, people's sense of boundaries can be very different. Then again, they are on the same site too - how can it be embarrassing for you and not for them? You are not committing a crime by subscribing to a dating site and OLD is really common these days. If you want to date and find a partner then some random coworkers opinion about it shouldn't matter. There's more to gain than to lose. 1
newlyborn Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 it doesn't seem appropriate to bring something like this into the workplace. even if the colleague is a friend, if they haven't mentioned it, you shouldn't either. my two cents...

That's what I was thinking So I shouldn't have anything to worry about
candie13 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 it's tacky to talk about dating sites at work. big no no 2
LookAtThisPOst Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 another woman at the job? I can see women giggling it about at the job even though they are on the site too. I noticed two coworkers so far on a certain dating site which is a FIRST for me. I have never come across any coworker on any dating site on any of my previous jobs. And of course this would be the site I am getting a lot of messages on lol I actually spotted a woman on POF that works at my place. No joke, she's kind of cute, but too backwater for me. She lied about the fact that she smoked though. She listed "Non-smoker" on POF. Amazing! The woman smokes like chimney. While she was on a cig. break, I feel this impulse to ask her, "Hey, you're on POF and listed yourself as a non-smoker...why is that?"
Timshel Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Heck NO. Not a word. So many people using OLD now, wouldn't it be catty?
Jules Dash Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 A while back, a colleague showed up in my match on a dating site. Although we worked at the same facility and only actually ran into each other twice beforehand briefly, we both were very familiar with each other's work.Although she is an attractive woman she is my coworker so I quickly blocked the match and hoped she wouldn't notice the match since it was blocked as soon as I got the match. I was relatively new at OLD at the time. The next time we bumped into each other at work, she asked me why did I block her? She said the next time she comes up in a match with me to not block it. It was an awkward moment. I rather she did not mention the whole OLD site at all. I value my privacy, especially at work.
JuneJulySeptember Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I wouldn't care. There's nothing weird on my profile. Yes, I'm single and I'm looking. It's not a huge newsflash or anything. It's not like the women at work are interested in me, or single for the most part, so what do they care? If I started dating a woman who had 3 previous children or something, then yes, people would start gossiping, but I don't give a @#$% what anybody says. Society is judgemental to evil degrees.
GemmaUK Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I wouldn't see any reason to mention it to either the person nor to anyone else. It's their business what they do and nothing to do with work.
