Another reason why not to date co-workers as well

Only date a coworker if you’re sure you can handle the repercussions if you break things off. Mixing emotions in a professional environment is not always a safe idea.

If it's a big company with multiple divisions/offices it's not that big of a deal. But if you will be dating someone from the same division as you, that's gonna be really problematic.

Another saying….don’t get your bread and meat in the same place.

There's a saying in Spain about the same: don't put you penis in the place where you have your pot.

If you decide to date a coworker, you have to also decide that the potential relationship is more important to you than your job. It's do-able, but much more likely to lead to drama than most new relationships. If things go wrong, one or both of you may need to leave. It's a bigger deal if you have a long-term career with the company, less so if it's a casual job and you won't have trouble finding other work if necessary.

"You don't shit where you eat." If you split and it's not amicable, prepare for your job to suck bad now.

I shit at home and I eat at home. Do other people not do that??

Don’t shit where you eat, if the relationship goes sour can you keep working in a serene environment?

Bah just do it if you want to, ignore all the naysayers. There aren't really any rules to this and none of these people know your situation.
Also most people in this thread can barely even comprehend speaking to a coworker, let alone dating and banging one
