Dating In The Workplace - Yay or Nay...

This morning on the radio, the morning show DJ's, Doc & Johnny, were talking about "dating on the job" and, apparently, its more common than it used to be. In Florida, they were saying that there are law firms that make their staff sign releases when they start dating a co-worker (in case of a messy breakup/sexual harassment suit), and in construction companies it's very common because there are more men then women on the sites, etc. Let's not even get into the dating in the airlines.

It got me thinkin', when did it become commonplace to find romance in the workplace? Is it because we're working more and more hours? Is it because we're sick of the bar scene? Is it because really, we're just not able to go out and meet the man/woman of our dreams and are willing to settle? Or is it just because we're bored?

I've made the choice to not date in the workplace. Been there, done that and when the breakup came, let's just say I like my life drama-free please. Just like I won't date clients, client affiliates or anyone in entertainment, the same goes for co-workers. I just have to think of the bigger picture. Doesn't mean I won't look though.

What are your thoughts on this subject?
