I Just Want a Great Guy, Dammit!
Should
I Date a Guy In My Office?
Before you start flirting over the copy machine,
think about where an office romance could take you. In fact,
your company may have a firm policy discouraging dating a co-worker
or at least dating a person within the same department.
Even if there’s no policy, you
need to decide what’s going to be your personal policy about dating that new hot guy in
the next cubicle. Granted, you spend many hours weekly at work.
It’s only natural that you form friendships there and at times
choose to socialize with co-workers after hours. That time
spent away from work pressures can be great for building rapport.
If your socializing turns into a romance, then all the rules
change. You know that it’s tough enough to concentrate on the
mundane chores of your job when your mind is swirling with
images of your new man.
You sneak personal phone calls and rush out at 4:59 to get
a jump on parking lot traffic just to be with him. Imagine
how much more distracting a romance would be if your guy was
only a few desks or a floor away from you all day long?
Having your guy so close that you can sneak kisses in the
supply room sounds wonderful, but it can also create some embarrassing
situations. All of your relationship woes could become office
fodder for the gossip mills.
Harmless courtship actions like blatantly flirting aren’t
bad, but they can easily become inappropriate in a workplace.
You may think no one else notices, but think again. They notice,
they watch and they talk.
Then the first time you and your guy have a disagreement,
you might as well post it on the office bulletin board. Everything
about your demeanor and your reactions toward each other show
it. Then the grapevine heats up with speculation about how
long before the romance is over and you two might even be teased
about it.
If you think these situations might feel uncomfortable at
work, there’s only one way to make it worse - and that’s to
date your boss. Whether he’s your immediate supervisor in the
department or the Vice President in the corner office, you’re
going to be seen as a social climber.
Anything good that happens to you, even if it’s a reward for
work you did last quarter is going to be seen as favoritism
because you’re dating the boss. So if you really do find romance
in the office with a co-worker or the boss, consider changing
departments or company locations to put some healthy distance
between you and him. You’ll give your relationship a better
chance to develop when it’s not being watched and judged by
so many prying eyes.
