Title: Have you ever dated a coworker?
Post by: dreamyxo on October 29, 2018, 08:51:51 am
I have and it turned into a disaster.  I even lived with them for a few years while working together.  When we broke up I couldn't stand seeing them and completely ignored them.  I was glad when the company went bankrupt (hated the job too) so I didn't ever have to see them again.  At my current job I know a few people who have dated and two couples who met at work and are married now.  I wouldn't do it ever again.  Not a good idea and I wouldn't recommend it.

No I haven't.  I always heard it's not a good idea to date a co-worker .  :wave:

Never ever do it because if you break up you’re gonna have to see him everyday until either you or he finds a new job.

Nope,  I never  even considered it, it is not in   or was not a good idea dating coworkers or other whom you work with or for . It can cause  a lot of problems on would be playing favoritism or another might be wanting favors for promotions from th boss. So no I never did, Although I did go to several  coworkers weddings.  I thought that was alright. Others in mamageent  went also.

Never have done that and most likely wouldn't! Chances are it wont turn out very well and then you're stuck seeing them every day anyway.  :sweat: Plus I think it would be distracting to have to work alongside someone you're interested in romantically.

No, not a good idea to date coworkers, can create problems, most companies don't people who are single to date each other, but it's up to that person if they want to see each other, your boss doesn't have the right to tell you who you can or can't date.

I did and married him too. We had a lot of fun when we worked together and it was nice to go home together also. We were together 8 years and married for 5 before things fell apart.

never had the chance to and im sure sometimes it works out but if things go bad it would be hard to avoid seeing them each day at work .

I have worked with my husband as a co-worker several times.  Years ago we owned a small business.  I did the bookwork and he ran the business, did the sales, etc.  It was a great experience.  Sadly, the agricultural economy shifted and we sold the business.

A few years ago, he worked the overnight shift at the same group home that I work at.  I didn't like the arrangement because we never saw each other.  I worked 7a-7p and he worked 7p-7a.  We replaced each other so didn't have much time together at home.

Someone who worked in the same company but in a different department,  so contact in passing or occasionally when something needed from that department but not directly working with all day long

No, I have never thought it was a good idea at least for me anyway. I think if there is a break up, then the work place could become unpleasant  for both parties and possibly their co-workers as well who become involve in their drama.

Post by: camellia0 on November 02, 2018, 04:05:30 pm
I have never dated a coworker or neighbor. It can never be a good thing because someone will get jealous and suppose the couple broke up. This would be akward to be working with someone.

I, myself, have never dated a coworker although i had the opportunity at one time.  I simply innately knew it was not a good idea.  However, I have known a number of people who have dated a coworker.  Some of them turned out badly for various reasons and two of them are still in successful relationships to this day.
Title: Re: Have you ever dated a coworker?
Post by: sfreeman8 on November 03, 2018, 07:59:25 am
I have and it didn't turn out very well. I wound up leaving the job because of it. It's not a good idea to date a co-worker and a lot of jobs have a stipulation against it. Those are the jobs I would apply to so I would have a great excuse not to date anyone. LOL

Title: Re: Have you ever dated a coworker?
Post by: braggin on November 03, 2018, 12:47:39 pm
No I think that's a really lousy idea. When you break up (and those romances always do), you are stuck in the same place with the person every single day, which is not a very good position to be in.
Title: Re: Have you ever dated a coworker?

No, it is not a good idea.  What happens if and when you break up?  Does not make for an easy atmosphere.

I have never actually dated a coworker, but I have had a fling with one.  Something I'm not very happy about.  I was going through a difficult time.  It was uncomfortable after that.
Title: Re: Have you ever dated a coworker?
Post by: bigfoot951 on November 03, 2018, 05:36:41 pm
I never have and I have never even been tempted to.  It's like anything else.  Yeah, it's a real bad idea, but that can go out the window when you are in the situation.

Yes I did it and after 17 years of dating and living together it went south.  After that I will never do it again

I have, it didn't turn out well.  I went through a divorce and she was near. but she was very liberal and i wasn't.  It was over in a few months.

Nope, never really thought about it either....did know a couple that did though and it seemed to work out alright (they got married and ended up changing jobs so don't know what happened to them)

I wouldn't do it or recommend it myself, but I've known others who have where it turned into a positive thing. And it sounds like many in this group have had success at it...

No, I don't want to mix it up. Always have a problem dating a co worker. It's ok if you are in good relationship but the time if you are fighting the work is affected also.
Title: Re: Have you ever dated a coworker?
Post by: brian8713 on November 05, 2018, 12:47:02 pm
Lord, no, I would never do that. When I think about my exes ... would I like to keep seeing them for 40 hours a week, every week? That would be a disaster. I'm happy to be dating people I don't work with.

it is unnecessary to date a coworker because you might have feelings for that but don't so is not good to do it
Title: Re: Have you ever dated a coworker?

Nope. I think it would probably just create too much awkwardness and drama.

Yeap and ending up marrying him and been together for 35 years now.  We work at big plant and really never see each other as he is out in the plant and I am in the office.  We don't ride to work together as we have different start times and never do lunch or breaks together. This way we each keep our profession separate and have something to talk about when we get home.

Years ago in college. At a radio station.

Very sweet guy, one date, I just did not think we were a good match.

I sometimes wonder about him still :)

I've never dated a co-worker, but I've approached a couple of times by them for a date. It never seemed like a good idea to me though. If the dating gets weird, you still have to show up at work until either they or you find another job.

My husband of 30 years and I met at work, started dating and the rest is history as they say.  We actually worked together after married for some years and then decided that it was too much for us,  Now we are each working at different places and like it much better,

I would not recommend it! I did go on a few dates with a co-worker many many years ago. The guy was very good friends with another female co-worker there. When the female co-worker found out we went on a few dates she was very jealous and was treating me very badly and tried causing trouble at the job.
