We all know that dating a co-worker is a bad idea, but sometimes you just can’t resist – you’re with them pretty much 24/7 after all and they do look hot in that suit. However, next time you even think about leaving the office with them to “catch up on work stuff” be sure to think twice.
And here’s why…(not speaking from experience, obviously)
1. People ALWAYS find out.
2. You can no longer look them in the eye, because you’ve seen them naked and they’ve seen you, naked.
3. It’s like starting on the tenth date – you spend all your time together anyway, now you’re dating, you’re basically married.
4. Harmless office flirting is suddenly a MAJOR ISSUE, when you’re only sitting a metre apart from one another.
5. Forget looking rubbish in work, banished are hoodies and comfy clothes – it’s a Saturday night EVERY single day.
6. Everyone’s in your relationship/wants to know about it.
7. There’s no maybe, everyone WILL be talking about you behind your back.
8. All you have to talk about is work and your office colleagues. It gets boring after a while.
9. Everyone knows when you’ve argued, and they find it funny. You, not so much.
10. Small things you wouldn’t worry about normally, suddenly become a massive deal, like going to lunch together/leaving without saying goodbye and god forbid – NOT MAKING THEM A COFFEE.
11. Breaking up is hell – get used to crying in the toilets because you have to look at them ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.
12. If you spend more than five minutes out of the office at the same time, people think you’re having sex.
13. Being professional with your partner mid-argument/break up is near impossible – it’s always messy.
14. If they/you lose your job you won’t be able to work without them and everyday will be like this:
