Office romance? Consider these realities
The Web site www.theofficelife.com offers some things to consider before entering into an office romance:
It’s no secret. Chances are, one of you will confide in the wrong person or you’ll be seen in public together.
You may become the center of office gossip until something more interesting comes up.
Your personal and professional relationships can cause strain in both areas of your life.
Spending almost all of your time together could make one of you feel smothered.
Potential problems are a greater concern at small companies.
Make sure you find out whether your company has a policy about office relationships. While many companies may discourage workplace relationships, some may ask employees to sign a contract clearly indicating mutual consent.
