dating at workplace

Is dating at the workplace a bad idea?

I dated someone from my workplace 2 years ago. After we broke up I was constantly worried he would start dating one of the other girls sitting next to my cubicle that I worked with on a daily basis. For years after the breakup I had to put up with the hurt of seeing him flirt with the girl sitting next to me at work. I finally left the company so don’t have to deal with it anymore but it was a nightmare. It was too hurtful the close proximity of him flirting with someone that worked right next to me that I had to see on a daily basis. Work is a great place to meet guys. How could I still date guys at work in the future but avoid this situation (the possibility that he will date someone I work with on a daily basis after the break up)? It’s hard enough going through a breakup. Imagine if the love of your life started dating or got married to your co-worker sitting next to you?

About 85% of relationships start in the workplace. It can be a good idea for car-pooling and things like that. But there are some bad sides of it. It really all depends on how professional you both are. If you’re gonna be catty and jealous when he talks to other females.. then no, its a bad idea. Or if after you break up, you wont want to see him anymore then it’s an even worse idea.
I’ve seen people date at my work place and it practically destroyed the people that were in the relationship.. be careful
