Work Romance

[MadImmortalMan]

I met my wife at work. She reported to me. 




They say the majority of couples meet through their job, despite everyone saying it's a bad idea.

I also met my wife through work.  While she didn't report to me, I thought work romance would not work.  There were too many complications, too many possibilities of things going wrong, and no way of keeping it a secret. 

So I dated her immediately after I was transferred out of the department. 

Years later, she told me that she would have said no while I was still in that department 

[HisMajestyBOB]

Never.
Although I did twice go see movies with a coworker, on what in retrospect may or may not have been a date.

Never shit where you eat.  Even the dumbest fucking animal knows that.

[Barrister]

I drunkenly made out with my legal assistant many years ago - right before she threw up in my living room.  I was game the next day to pursue a relationship, but she decided not to (and she got back together with her boyfriend a few weeks later).

I also dated a fellow lawyer (well articling student) before that.  That was a disaster in the end, but not because of the work stuff.

I don't want to know what kind of things you do in your romantic life. :

I considered using that term as the thread title.

I have both seriously dated and casually slept with co-workers, though never at a real job.  It was mostly in my younger life working in restaurants and bars. 

In my current life I am a contractor and am in and out of places of business and I have dated people I have met at work, but we weren't co-workers.  I would not date someone I directly work with but would date someone who works in the same building I might happen to be in.

I've dated people met on when at theater, tv station and on film jobs.

That's a good point. My case was a restaurant job too. There is a difference between that and a professional career job. I was already engaged by the time I had one of those...

That shit doesn't count.  That's just fucking high school with ashtrays.

[Monoriu]

But on the other hand, if not from work, I have absolutely no idea where to find romance.  I'd probably still be single, and a virgin by now. 

[Ideologue]

I would, of course.

I don't think I'd pursue someone who reported to me, unless all those Naughty America videos are an accurate representation of reality.

I met my wife at work. She reported to me. 

Now the tables have been turned, right.

[Martinus]

Sadly no. Then again most lawyers are fugly.
