Office Romance - A Go or a Boo?



I have read an article about things that can ruin your career( in other words, can get you fired from your job).

(I do hope you already know those things by the way.)

Anyway, I' m gonna get to the point.

A sentence stated..

" Never start an office romance."

Really?

Am I reading this right?

So I thought about it..

I was getting cozy with a pretty girl at the office and I do think were going fine ( We're friends already!) . I really intend to put another foot forward to finally negate my NGSB status. But when I read the article, I doubted.

Read: " Starting an office romance can ruin you career - with a supervisor - it may raise questions about you work abilities. With a subordinate - it may be misconstrued as sexual harassment."

That's when I remembered an elder colleague telling me when during my first days at the company.." Do not shit on your own backyard..especially when it comes to office romance".

He's plainly telling me that DO NOT START a relationship at the workplace.

Being single, I was really excited on meeting( of course, meeting means dating) ladies at the workplace. And there are a lot of beautiful ladies ( Lucky Me! ) where I work.

But when I thought about it, again, maybe it's the right thing to do. It can really ruin you career in a way. For example, if ever I asked for relationship and it didn't work out, there will be a tension between us and the feeling of uneasiness will be felt by both sides and can ruin the atmosphere of camaraderie among us. And of course our colleagues too.

Will I still continue it even if I'm really longing for a relationship?

Now I'm definitely down and in doubt.
