6 Tips For Dating At Work

"A few months after I started working at a small internet company, I started dating a coworker. Things were going great for a few weeks — at least I thought so until he told me that things just weren't working out, and he wasn't interested in a long-term relationship with me. I took it pretty hard, and working together only made it worse. Seeing him every single day (boy, did I hate working in an open office then) reminded me over and over again about how much I missed him and how mad I was that he wasn't interested. I eventually got over it, but it was really rough."

Like in business, and regardless of where your love life stands, you can benefit from heeding the advice of others and learning from their successes and failures. For the right partner, you can make a work relationship work. Just make sure you're in it together. Teamwork!

As Beatrix would say, "My mom told me to 'Never date anyone at work.' I say, 'Never date anyone at work unless you are in love with them and are best friends with them first!'"
