Dating a coworker can be tricky and can lead to potential problems down the line. If you are thinking about doing that first find out if your employer has a policy which prohibits co-workers from dating each other. If such a policy exists, and you ignore it, you may wind up losing your job. If no such policy exists then it's important for you to realize that if you develop a relationship outside of the work environment, and your relationship doesn't work out, you will still continue to see each other on a regular basis because you work for the same employer. That may make going to work every day more of a challenge and can be quite upsetting.

Only if it makes sense to you on all levels and you are prepared to deal with all of the potential consequences.

I believe that if its serious and you feel that it wont affect your work life then you should go for it, If you feel that it will affect your work life however I don't think it will be suitable to get into a relationship.

Think this through carefully. Some employers prohibit dating colleagues. Think about how work might affect your relationship and vice versa. How will you feel if you break up but still have to work together? What if one of you gets promoted and you have to be his boss, or vice versa? What if you see each other so much that you start getting bored? If you do start dating a colleague, you may want to discuss some of these potential pitfalls and how you would maintain a good working relationship if your romantic relationship doesn't pan out.

I am not going to give you a straight yes or no answer. that is your call. but if I was you I would consider the possibilities and consider the pros and cons and decide if pressuring or letting go of the idea is best.

if you think it could work, and your boss doesn't have a problem with it, I don't see why you couldn't try to date :)

Navigating treacherous waters with that one. What is your employer's policy on intraoffice dating? How closely do you work with each other? Would you be able to separate work and your relationship effectively? All these factors should be considered.

Its a very difficult thing, I would never discourage dating as long as it allowed in the workplace. However you must keep in mind, if things do not work out, chances are that person will still be around, and these memories can haunt you
