How many of you have dated a co-worker and how did that turn out?
According to CareerBuilder, survey shows that 37% of workers have dated a colleague
By Mary Ellen Podmolik | Companies may have taken away expense accounts and overtime but there's one thing they can't take away: the office romance.
Some 37 percent of workers said they've dated a co-worker at some time in their careers and 32 percent of people said they eventually married the person they dated at work, according an annual poll of of 5,200 people by CareerBuilder.
The survey found that women are more likely than men to date someone higher than them in the corporate hierarchy. Also, 67 percent of workers didn't keep their office romances a secret.
And if the person in the cubicle next to you is giving you the eye, there may be a reason. The survey found that 11 percent of men and 4 percent of women are now working with someone they'd like to date.
I dated my boss before, we were able to keep it a secret for 6 months then when everyone found out we started having problems in our relationship go figue....soon after that our relationship ended and I voluntarly left my job. The first 6 months was fun though, it was the excitement probably of not getting caught.
Wow you go girl! lol

I did I dated someone I worked with for almost 4 years. I quit before we broke up, but I think it turned out fine. I was also a teenager, but he was my first love and I still love him to this day! It wasn't bad even when we were fighting we worked fine together, and no one knew we were fighting. but everyone knew we were together
I married mine. We worked at the same restaurant in high school. We've been together 10 years married for 4 of those years!!!!
