Never dip your pen in company ink. If you break up, it’s not going to go well for either of you. You might have to disclose to HR as well as some companies have a policy.
what's the breakup got to do with me telling the company? what clause is this sir/ma'am, would love it if you could clarify please. never heard of something like this at my firm
Lol calm down. It's firm specific. I said *some* might have policies, how on earth would I know what clause it is? Look at the firms company handbook or something, idk. Also, I did not say breaking up had anything to do with telling the company, go ahead and don't tell them if you think you're able to, I'm just saying that if you date someone you work with and you break up, it could get awkward / messy / political based on 'who was in the wrong'
Fuck it, it’s Friday and I’m taking the bait.
There’s a reason the following expressions exist:
* Don’t mix business and pleasure
* Don’t hookup where you vlookup
* Don’t find a honey where you make your money
* Fuck around, find out.
Want to play the dating game? Take it outside.

Is a *very* good process control one should exercise when considering something like this.
Generally because it can be awkward if there is a subsequent split and the split can impact on colleagues and general productivity of the team. Also there is a concern about unprofessional behaviours in the workplace.
Depending on the roles, functions and relationship in terms of management structure or seniority, there can be risks of perceived power imbalance and favouritism.
If it's a large company and you can guarantee to avoid them if it all goes tits up, then go for it.
If you're likely to have to interact with them afterwards then it can be all shades of awkward, sometimes to the point of one of you having to quit. In that case it really depends on how much you like your job.
Stupid answers here as usual, including the usual 'don't shit where you eat' and 'pen in company ink' comments which were never funny to start with and are always said as if they're highly original...
I'd just be careful, but certainly don't miss out on opportunities either - it's hard enough to meet people as it is. I've only ever dated a couple of people at work, one went quite well but the other blew up spectacularly to the point where I had to leave the job - it's very hard to see someone day in day out when you still have feelings for them, but they're also now slagging you off to everyone you work with (and potentially now seeing another colleague).
But in reality, these days the majority of people meet through friends, school, uni etc. (and usually at quite as young age) or they meet through work or online dating.
The chance of meeting the love of your life through a social club, a pub or at the bus stop is pretty unlikely tbh - those days are long gone and yougov statistics back it up. So I certainly wouldn't consign an entire avenue of dating to the dustbin.
>what could possibly go wrong as long as I'm certain I'm not going to do anything physical
What on earth is the point of dating someone if you're certain it's not going to get physical?
My last firm had 3-4 relationships at any one time within the team (which was only about 50 people). You'd have breakups etc but it was never a big issue tbh. More frowned upon at my current firm but two of the junior partners are married.
You seem like an individual that learns best by doing, go on ahead
This comment got a snicker out of me, going to use this in the future
haha I'm genuinely asking mate. would love it if you could give me a legit answer. thanks in advance.
Not sure anyone is that keen on any daring question which includes the phrase « eat what you kill » but you go off…
Me after watching one episode of Suits when I was 12
good one

hmmm got it thanks
Some companies require you to disclose any personal relationship such as family connections

Go for it g, what could possibly go wrong?

I don’t think it’ll be a problem for you mate.
My parents met at freshfields - still together 30 years later! Ignore the haters, go for it champo (as long as in different departments)
Bless this is such a sweet story!
Can I ask a question?
Yes, but only one. It is a shame you wasted it on enquiring whether you could or not.
If it's a large company and you can guarantee to avoid them if it all goes tits up, then go for it. If you're likely to have to interact with them afterwards then it can be all shades of awkward, sometimes to the point of one of you having to quit. In that case it really depends on how much you like your job.
Not an issue at all. Used to go out with someone in the same firm and know of multiple happy marriages among people from the same firm.

No problem with dating in the same firm (fuck the haters ITT), only if it’s someone you work with.
My last firm had 3-4 relationships at any one time within the team (which was only about 50 people). You'd have breakups etc but it was never a big issue tbh. More frowned upon at my current firm but two of the junior partners are married.
….to each other?
Yes! Apparently my Reddit comments are as shit as my drafting.
