Dating a male coworker is very tempting.  You spend the majority of your time at work so it makes the perfect place to meet guys.  Everyone knows anyway that women love to multi-task.  Picking up a guy at work, though, can be dangerous.

Company Policy

Dating a coworker can lead to so many problems.  If your company has a policy against office dating then you could even risk your job.  You have to think about what will happen when the romance ends.  Will you really be able to handle seeing him at work every day?

Too Much Of Him

Another thing to think about is just the fact of being around him all the time.  Won’t you want a break?  Being at work together may not be quality time, but you will still see see each other and interact.  Sometimes distance can be a good thing, but with an office romance there isn’t much of that.

Gossip

You also need to think about your office gossip mill.  What will everyone be saying?  Are you risking your reputation by dating a coworker?  Is your office image that important to you?  You could really be risking it all and end up looking awful.  You just never know what people may say.  You could end up damaging your reputation and even your relationships with others in the office.

You just have to proceed with caution.  An office romance could be more dangerous than it seems.  Even when you keep things on the down low, the situation can spiral out of control.  For most women keeping business and pleasure separate is the best idea.  It is not really worth the risk to your professional image to go man hunting at the office.  You don’t want to get the reputation as the office man eater.
