Dating Men

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 theres no policy, you need to decide whats going to be your personal policy about dating that new hot guy in the next cubicle. Granted, you spend many hours weekly at work.

Its 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 its 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.
