Jp's Reaction to: Dating a Co-Worker

Dating a co-worker . . . yay or nay? There really are many pro’s and con’s to that topic. I have thought about it in other jobs but the profession I am in it’s really not at high demand. I work with 95% women and I’m really not interested in dating any of them. If I worked in an office, I’m sure that I would have a crush on a guy I worked with and probably want to date him.

Pro’s

You get to see them every day! (Woo hoo isn’t that exciting!!!! Yea it is when things are great. It might even be motivation to go to work.)

Someone who really knows what you are going through at work. (When you go home and complain about stuff going on at the office they already know. Hopefully they are on your side when the boss comes in and yells at you or vice versa.)

You already know them. (You don’t have to go through that whole random who you are stuff. You already know them on a certain level and may have already hung out with them a few times on the “friend” level)

Con’s

You get to see them every day! ( You have no time for yourself really. If you are fighting, you are pissed, you really just have no interest in seeing them, or you broke up you now see them every day. It’s a great idea when everything is going well but when things aren’t going so well you are just SOL.)

Dating a co-worker is actually a big NO NO! (Usually that is one of the big things addressed when you get a job. They really frown upon you dating each other. But come on most jobs keep you there til all hours how are you supposed to meet someone when you can never go out because you are always working.)

Just so you know everyone is talking about you! (We are all gossips and you are just going to be adding fuel to the fire. Everyone is going to be talking about you and your relationship. Especially if you are dating your boss! )

Don’t we all wish that we could be Pam and Jim from The Office. Come on their relationship is like so cute and perfect and they are the ideal office romance. They start as friends, begin dating, get engaged, get married, & have a baby. Too bad that all office romances don’t end like that, most end with the dread of going to work and having to see them again! I'm all for dating but dating a co-worker I'm still torn about, how about more hot guys just into the teaching profession then I'll give my answer!!
